What is Feng Shui?
It's a way of living in harmony with your surroundings to
achieve success and happiness – of cultivating your intuitive intelligence.
We all experience Feng Shui (pronounced fung shway) or literally, "wind
and water". It is the 4,000 year-old discipline of the Chinese art
of design and placement, based on the belief that a vital life energy,
or chi, flows everywhere – in nature, buildings, and people, creating a
healthy mind and body.
There are five elements:
-
wood (plants)
-
fire (candles)
-
metal (chimes)
-
earth (rocks/stones)
-
water (fountains)
-
Surround yourself with the five elements.
-
Always be in the "power position". (Never have your back to the
door.)
-
Use the colors of the five creative elements: green (wood), red (fire),
yellow (earth), white (metal), black (water).
-
Reflect light with mirrors.
-
Always have a view of water.
-
Maintain a balance of ying and yang.
-
Strive for high, well lit ceilings.
-
Avoid strong overhead lighting and dark, monotone color schemes.
- Always choose seek clean lines and open spaces.
-
Try to keep your home free of clutter and debris.
Feng-shui is not a superstition or a set of dos and don'ts.
It is the art and science of understanding the forces of nature in order
to design houses and workplaces that blend with the environment instead
of clashing with it. It aims to help us live in harmony with the world
by promoting the flow of positive energy and neutralizing or avoiding negative
or destructive energy.
Fountains by Natural Surrounds do
just that:
promote positive energy
and harmony with your environment.
