Feng Shui in a Day - Barb Rogers
Introduction
Just as a mixture of blood and oxygen flows through our bodies to keep us healthy and vital, an energy called chi
flows through and rejuvenates our living space. When our balance is off, we become sick, unable to thrive. The same thing can happen to our apartment, cottage, or twenty-five-room mansion when the flow of chi is unbalanced or blocked. Healthier living through doctor visits, proper diet, exercise, and medication can fix the body, and spirituality can heal the soul. So what can we do for our homes?
Feng Shui (pronounced fung shway) is the ancient Chinese art of placement. It uses colors, numbers, and directions to determine a position for each item in our environment that will best activate universal energy, or chi, and optimize the results of our life goals. The better the flow of chi in your surroundings, the more balance, peace, good health, and prosperity you will have in your life. In Feng Shui, the desired effect is to have chi move gently through each room of your living space, around your furniture, and back out. You don't want it moving too fast or too slow. If it moves too quickly, you will not get the benefits, and if it moves too slowly, it becomes stale and settled, inhibiting opportunities in your life.
The earliest recorded reference to Feng Shui goes back to the Han Dynasty in 202 BC. The theory was used as protection against the elements and unwanted visitors. Feng Shui actually means wind and water,
which probably referred to where to build a home with protection from the wind and a decent water supply nearby. Those things were as important to them as our plumbing and electricity are to us today.
Needless to say, things have changed a bit since then. So unless you are buying land or building the house you'll live in, there is no need to go into the earliest forms of Feng Shui. Most of us already have our living space and just need some practical advice on the basic concepts of Feng Shui that are fast, cheap, and easy to apply. It doesn't cost much to move a bed, and if it could actually make a difference, wouldn't it be worth the effort? Feng Shui is a lot like spirituality. We don't have to understand how it works; we simply open our mind, try it, and see what happens.
Before You Begin
Before you start with Feng Shui, the first thing you need to consider is your environment's cholesterol.
In your living space, cholesterol is dirt, dust, and clutter. You can't achieve Feng Shui in a day if your place is dirty and filled with items that slow the chi down. Clean it up, or the only thing you'll have is sha—stale or bad energy lying around, stuck in the muck. If your life is in the same condition, your home's cholesterol level may have something to do with it.
Got your place tidy? Then the next thing to consider is what you wish to achieve through Feng Shui. Do you have health issues, relationship problems, or financial concerns? Are you having trouble conceiving a child or dealing with your neighbors? Or are you simply seeking a balance in your life, which will ultimately affect all other situations?
You won't need many supplies. What you'll be doing most is moving around what you already
