The Meaning of Feng Shui and Decoration Tips
January 18th, 2010 | 
Author: The term feng shui may sound different from the English language but it has become something of a household name in the world of 
home improvement. While the word may sound familiar, few know or understand its meaning. For many it is a Chinese art of placing furniture which is really not what it is. Feng means wind and shui means water. Feng Shui is harmonizing your place of residence or work so as to ensure continuous flow of positive energy like wind and water. A house or an office can be rearranged for good chi (positive energy flow) using this ancient Chinese technique. When energy (chi) enters our doorways and encounters a heap of clutter, the chi gets stuck. These tips are fairly simple. Get rid of the clutter. It creates obstacles in your life and makes you feel uncomfortable in your space. Freeing space opens you to healthy new relationships. Main entrances to homes attract new, positive energy. When you open the front door, you allow positive energy to flow into the home and your life. Fix leaks. Because water represents money, leaks represent wasted money.
Traditional Feng Shui utilizes the five elements of wood, fire, earth, metal and water as remedies to energetic issues in a house or building. The basic concepts are simple: use common sense in furniture placement, keep it free of clutter and make sure the room’s flow or arrangement allows for conversation. This works in every facility: residential, commercial, health care, or restaurant. Lights are powerful cures. Light itself is considered an important element in feng shui.
