Decorating
and Feng Shui
Fengshui-the
ancient science of tapping in the qi-energy has suddenly gained prominence
globally. Even skeptical westerners are falling for it hook, line and
sinker. World renowned Masters trot the globe as consultants to impart
valuable knowledge to wannabes. Dragons, Buddha’s, pagodas, wind chimes
et al. glut the markets and most homes and even offices resemble miniature
China town! Welcome to the world of Fengshui.
Feng
shui and mirrors
Some
homes have huge mirrors adorning the entire length of a wall. Residents
when queried, happily say it is to make up for the missing sector of their
house! When asked if it has made any difference, they answer in the
affirmative.
Feng
Shui-how chimes can heal
All
around the world and on the internet gift shops and websites were glutted
with dragons, wind chimes, bamboo shoots, pictures of phoenix, peonies
fish tanks et al. Even today, many gift shops beckon the customer with the
soothing tinkling of bells or wind chimes.
Organizing
your life with Feng Shui
People
seek advice on a property they’re going to purchase, an already owned
house and a business that is in doldrums, a ‘home office’- that’s a
make shift garage, basement area or a verandah creatively put up as a
plush office or a niche with a pc, furniture that is within a swanky home.
Chinese metaphysics is basically the arranging of the five elements of
nature i.e. wood, water, fire, metal and earth. It is a science that helps
in rearranging the elements in our surroundings and environment to help us
lead a peaceful life.
Space
Clearing
Have
you noticed that when you’ve cleaned that mess in your wardrobe or desk
that had accumulated for months, you feel better? Have you felt relaxed
and clam after a warm bath at night, at the end of a long, tiring day? In
fact you must’ve slept better! The reason being, in the first case,
you’ve cleared the clutter that was a sore eye for you. In the second
instance, you had relaxed all your tense muscles and the feel of clean
clothes on your skin and fragrance of soap calmed your senses and lulled
you to slumber. What you’ve done is cleared your space and your body.
