Feng Shui (pronounced fung shway) is the art and science of enhancing your environment with the goal of creating safety, comfort and beauty. Feng Shui may have originated in ancient China, but it continues to offer timely, practical solutions for Americans today.
It may be helpful to think of Feng Shui as acupuncture for your home. When adjustments are made to designated areas of your space, blockages are eliminated with the intention of achieving specific results. Sometimes that means clearing your clutter or taking care of household repairs; other times it means choosing the best paint color or designing a new furniture arrangement.
According to Feng Shui theory, safety and functionality always come first. So before considering traditional Asian cures such as mirrors and crystals, it's important to make sure your home is safe and in good working order. That can mean fixing a leaky faucet, replacing light bulbs or cleaning out your closet. By attending to these routine household chores, you’ll be improving safety, increasing comfort and creating beauty in your surroundings. And without even knowing it, you’ll be practicing Feng Shui.
