Feng Shui Feature
Feng Shui means "Wind and Water" ... and uses concepts from the natural world in the construction of its principles. Feng Shui concerns itself with an energy called Chi. The discovery and attainment of harmonious Chi is both a blessing and an art. Feng Shui is the Oriental practice of manipulating space, color, textures, placement, and architectural arrangements in one's physical location -- and most specifically inside homes, offices, and other buildings -- to enhance, adjust, and regulate the Chi contained therein. The goal is to create beauty (which is often in the eye of the beholder) and comfort (which can undeniably impact one's health and physical well-being).

Feng Shui While You Work
by Chynna Dahl
Looking for crystal clarity when it comes to keeping your mind on your work. Try this. Get a small, multi-faceted crystal, the kind you can hang, the kind that catches the sunlight and throws rainbows on the walls if you put it in just the right window. Feng shui supply shops and websites sell these. So do many New Age metaphysical stores.

Feng Shui
A Philosophy and a Way of Life
by Chynna Dahl
On one level, feng shui is about placement and design. Your physical surroundings both affect and reflect who you are -- especially who you are inside. And so in a kind of chicken-and-egg paradox, feng shui holds that changing the design of your surroundings, moving or placing items with conscious intent in the rooms where you work and live, and adjusting the structure of your environment -- whether at home, on the job, or even while staying in a hotel room on business, you affect the energy around you and the kind of experiences you attract.

It's Something in the Water
More on Water Element in Feng Shui
by Chynna Dahl
Feng Shui principles apply most easily to a square or octagonal house, but, of course, not all homes are built to such shapes. Water features can be placed to "fill in" ... or symbolically complete ... the spaces where the missing corners of the building would otherwise be.

Getting Back to Basics
It's All About the Environment
by Chynna Dahl
As members of the human race, maybe it's time to consider our individual choices more carefully, become more sensitive to the environment, and start caring about the earth's future beyond our lifetime -- because if the mystics who talk about reincarnation are right, that's where we are all going to have to live someday.

So ... What is Feng Shui Exactly?
by Chynna Dahl
In trying to quickly describe feng shui, people say it's the oriental art of correct placement, a way of using interior decoration choices to help promote good relationships, healthy lifestyles, and prosperity. If this bubble-gum-for-the-masses definition sparks interest in the listener -- or the audience -- a speaker wise in the way of feng shui and public relations will go on to say more about this intricate, fascinating, even mystical practice of working with the environment -- any environment -- to promote harmony between it ... and you.

Feng Shui
Embracing the Simple Idea
by Chynna Dahl
According to feng shui, everything, absolutely everything, has its own chi -- basically its own energy field. Living objects, inanimate objects, even empty physical space has chi -- energy which is invisible but "fluid," mobile, able to flow (and stagnate), and which affects the physical, emotional, even the financial quality of your environment.

The Only Thing Constant Is Change
Using this Principle to Your Advantage

The Unifying Bonds and Power of Chi
by Chynna Dahl
Chi is part -- the vital part -- of everything. It is literally the fabric of life, the stuff of reality, the essential building block of existence itself. Chi not only is everything, Chi connects everything, binding it into a single unified piece. The very idea is as mystical as they come: that we are all part of the same thing, the same life, the same energy, the same force that many philosophies define as the Original Source, the All There Is.

The World is Alive ... with Chi
by Chynna Dahl
Chi is an Oriental concept used in philosophy, medicine, feng shui, and the way the people, particularly in China, view the world. The closest concept we have for Chi in Western thought is that Chi is energy. It's actually more than that. Sometimes in hearing about the Oriental concept of Chi it sounds more like "life force." Sometimes Chi seems associated with divinity.

The Chi Where You Work and Where You Live
How Attitude and Location Affect Your Life
by Chynna Dahl
Chi exists in everything. All material objects, animate and inanimate contain their own unique Chi. Places contain Chi. We sense this as the "atmosphere" in a place and we feel it, we react to it, through the physical sensations and emotional responses we have when we're in it.
