Feng Shui Tips

"In ancient China, the natural world was studied devoutly. The concepts that developed are the basis of Feng Shui. Understanding these concepts - the energy of Ch'i, and the balancing of Yin and Yang - is very important to creating good Feng Shui.

Ch'i is the life energy that pervades everything. When Ch'i is flowing abundantly in your home, the results are health, happiness and good fortune."

• A bowl of fruit on the kitchen table or dining room table signifies abundance. It creates positive energy and enhances prosperity.


• Dining chairs should be even in number. Even numbers represent luck, and odd numbers represent loneliness.


• Allow sufficient room under the bed for Ch'i to flow. Empty space under your bed will make you feel lighter and more carefree.


• To improve your love life, bring some yellow into the bedroom. I will aid communication.


• Refrain from hanging items on the backs of doors. Doing this increases the weight of the door and adds more struggle to your life.
