Practical Feng Shui

Feng Shui, when translated directly "the wind and the water" is the art and science of arrangement. This ancient Chinese art, Feng Shui (pronounced 'fung shway") is the instruction of creating harmony and balance so that waves of 'Chi' - the good healthy energy will undulate over us and open the doors of luck and prosperity.

The Chinese believe that luck and prosperity and everything good in the world travels on waves of healthy energy. Most of us have the predicament of living in a home that has been arranged to block some or most of this energy from reaching us and our loved ones. By using feng shui decorating for your home, you will make it into a tuning fork that grabs this Chi and transforms it into harmony and good health for all living under the roof of that place.

The devil is really in the details. From how a potted plant is placed to the position in which you sleep in all affects how much or how little of this Chi you will experience. A house with bad feng shui, the Chinese believe, is a recipe for disaster - and this is why alot of Chinese people and other races who believe strongly in this, hire a feng shui master before they do anything to their household decor or furniture arrangement.

Now get the image of an old rickety man with beads and an unearthly beard out of your head. He doesn't spring into kung fu at the tip of the hat.

He does that just on Tuesdays.

I'm just kidding. Professional geomancers are as modern as you and me and you would be surprised to find that some of them are not even Chinese in the first place. They have an understanding of Mother Nature and her compass and can sense whether or not a household is aligned with her enough for prosperity and luck to be a permanent fixture.

Do you notice an area of the house where people just seem to gravitate to? Ever held a party and people tell you that a certain room seems 'uncomfortable' for no obvious reason? This is probably bad feng shui at work.

Anything from the colour of your walls to how your bed is situated in your room can determine a restful night or a fitful one. The Chinese believe that the colour red and its various shades bring about luck and warmth to a house - this is evident when you notice that most Chinese brides like to don the bright maroons on their happy occasion.

It is also all about spaces. The Chinese believe that facing a door or entryway in whatever you do brings about luck and exposes you to greater Chi. Also having highly visible exits means that not only guests can find their way out easily, but money and energy as well.

Interesting isn't it? Most of the time feng shui decorating can mean little cost and just a bit of rearrangement in the household or even the office. With the promise of wealth, prosperity and luck increasing in multiples, it would be prudent to just give it a try - the results could well surprise you.

The 'wind and the water' or Feng Shui has been a large part of many traditional and modern Chinese folks for thousands of years and have followed them into the 21st century of modernity and the information age. I can totally understand this attitude, I mean everyone needs all the luck they can get and the great thing about Feng Shui is that it is very affordable and the effects can be life changing.

Every one of us has a foible or some sort of quirky tradition we do to increase our luck. It can be a favourite locker at the gym or a favourite shoe we wear on a specific day. Sounds strange? Sure, but people swear by them.

Millions of people swear by Feng Shui and if you are at all interested in bringing a tidal wave of luck and prosperity to your life, here are some fengshui tips to attracting wealth to your home.

Colours Of Your House
One of the best ways is to have a look at the colours of your house. White is a bad colour for most Chinese especially in Feng Shui because is represents death. Colour is important in bringing prosperity to your home because it creates a vibrant relationship with nature.

Try to add some red into important areas of the house, like your work area, or even the bedroom. Shades of red and even pink will do as they are colours of luck in oriental tradition. Luck translates directly into wealth and prosperity.

Gold is also considered to be one of the best colours to use. Try to accessorise your place with some gold, a Chinese speciality shop is one of the best places to look, or if one isn't available, Western substitutes will sometimes do just as well.

Arrangement Of Your House
Feng shui and Chi - or good energy needs more space and less clutter for energy to be attracted to your home and flow evenly within. This is where some rearrangement needs to take place and if a place looks messy and gives you an uncomfortable feeling, it is more than just likely that it has some really bad feng shui and is chasing your wealth 'Chi' away faster than a bad smell in a small room. Breathing spaces are important especially in places in your house where you store money or do work.

Also, exits should never be in clear views within the house - especially when you first walk in to your house. Money and prosperity riding on waves of good energy will walk in to your place and leave just as quickly through exits. Don't make them the highlight of your décor, and some Chinese households even use a screen to cover them up.

Have a look into feng shui crystals, because they are believed to be powerful tools that resonate with frequencies that bring wealth, health and prosperity to the household. Do a bit of research because each crystal has a specific purpose.

These are just some fengshui tips to transform your place from a vacuum of profit to a living breathing magnet for wealth and opportunity. The process is most of the time simple and if you can invest a bit more, have a Feng Shui Master to come and have a peek and your place - maybe make some recommendations. You won't regret it.
