Feng Shui

Have you ever walked into a room and felt instantly at ease? Have you ever walked into a room and felt very uncomfortable and edgy? If you have had either of these experiences, you have experienced Feng Shui.

Feng Shui, translated as "wind and water", is the ancient Chinese art of placement. It is more than three thousand years old, and is said to predate both Confucianism and Taoism. In modern terms, Feng Shui is the art of arranging your environment to enhance your life.

The tools of Feng Shui are based on the wisdom of the I Ching, or Book of Changes. There are several different schools of practice, but they all share these underlying concepts:

Everything is energetically alive.
Everything is interconnected.
Everything is constantly changing.

In Feng Shui, we recognize that our environment reflects who we are at any moment; and that, as we change, our environment may have to change with us in order to accurately reflect and support our growth as human beings. The principles of Feng Shui are based on thousands of years of practical wisdom, and they give us clear guidance on tried and true ways to arrange our surroundings so that they support us mentally, physically and spiritually.
