Feng Shui Your Life

by Jennifer Kaye 

Confused by the many different types of Feng Shui?  I know I was, when I first heard about Feng Shui 10 years ago.  Many people have heard about Feng Shui, but don’t know exactly what it can do for them.

Feng Shui works to balance your environment: home, business, restaurant, hotel, retail shop, garden, landscape, event, reception, apartment complex, doctor’s office, car...  Any place you are spending time is affecting you in either a positive or negative way.  Feng Shui allows your environment to work for you.  When an environment is balanced, you feel more relaxed.  When you are more relaxed, you are able to tap into the environment’s energies and bring into your life what you desire: more energy, productivity, happiness, prosperity, and health, love…

More and more people and companies are using Feng Shui.  Retail stores like Bath and Body Works, Ace Hardware, hotels like Hilton, and companies like Coca-Cola have all used Feng Shui to enhance their prosperity.  Retail stores use Feng Shui and product placement to sell their products.  Fast food restaurants often use color to attract customers, and Coca-Cola headquarters in Atlanta uses Feng Shui in their offices, and have reported an increased in profits and employee efficiency.  Madonna, Oprah, and Donald Trump have used Feng Shui for gain their fortunes.  Donald Trump, who has been using Feng Shui since the 1970s says, “You don’t have to believe in Feng Shui for it to work.  I just know it brings me money.”

Feng Shui can also be used to sell houses and rent out properties quickly and for the asking price.  Ever notice how some houses have been on the market a long time, and the owner must lower the price to attract a buyer.  Usually the house is out of balance and potential buyers just can’t pictures themselves living there because of left over energy from the last owners.  A space clearing is needed to clear out the stuck energy and usually results in a house sale within the week.  A lot of times just moving the for sale sign to a more visible place does the trick too.

Feng Shui uncovers health problems and can actually helps people lose weight, stop smoking and sleep better.  Use Feng Shui in your environment to support you.  It’s easier to loose weight, stop smoking and sleep better when you de-clutter and when you have an environment that supports a healthy life-style.

Feng Shui and the Five Elements can be applied to your print/logo and signage design for you and your business.  The Feng Shui principles of placement and color can help attract customers and make your business cards more memorable.  A lot of times, it’s not what you say; it’s how you’re saying it.

Feng Shui can be applied to already existing structure as well as help build your new one.  You can even use Feng Shui to plan your event:  wedding reception, speech, fund raiser.  An environment or event room that has used Feng Shui will make sure that everything has a seat where they are comfortable, can see the speaker and supports the reason why everything is there.  If you’ve ever been to an unsuccessful event where some people couldn’t hear or see the speaker, or if there weren’t enough chairs, you’ll understand the importance of Feng Shui, which takes into consideration comfort and safety.  A lot of people are scared about having a trained Feng Shui expert in their home or business because the think they must get rid of things they love or must spend more money and buy new things they don’t like.  Feng Shui is about living with what you love and an expert should take into consideration the client’s needs and offer Feng Shui suggestions, but ultimately it is your environment.  What does your environment say about you?  If you’re embarrassed to have company over because you have to clean up first, then there’s something wrong.  Your environment should be clean, bright and organized for you.  Your environment speaks about you.  Make sure it is saying nice things.?
