Power Feng Shui For Success

Blue has dual meanings, it can be associated with the wood element, symbolizing spring, new growth and hope and it also is a color of mourning for the Chinese. They avoid blue in building projects. Black's positive side gives feelings of depth, both in mood and perspective. Pink represents love, pure feelings, joy, happiness and romance.

For those unfamiliar with Feng Shui and ch'i, it might be easier to understand if you relate reactions that we've all experienced, such as meeting someone and feeling an almost instant kinship. Others may put us off and we avoid socializing with them. The same is true with a building; in some places we feel comfortable, happy and relaxed; in others we feel anxious or gloomy. Some places seem bright and lively while others feel cold and overbearing. These are characteristics of a house's ch'i.

According to Feng Shui theory, our lives are directly influenced by the places we live and work. Topography, vegetation, water sources, site plan, floor plans, furniture placement, colors, architectural details, street grids, construction practices, even who lived in a house before you, all relate to your lot in life.

Implementing the principles of Feng Shui will bring about many positive changes in an individual's life. Masters of this science are called in to balance not only existing spaces, but future ones as well. Donald Trump is widely known to seek this wisdom before he builds a hotel or casino to achieve the best possible energy for his site's future business. Looking at your living space through "Feng Shui" eyes will enable you to get in touch with the feeling of your space and give you an understanding of how to change, add or subtract, or rearrange things to achieve balance.
