(NAPSI)-Can rearranging the furniture in a
room bring peace and harmony? According to the ancient Chinese art of Feng
Shui (pronounced Fung Shway) it can. To help you, expert Eddie Cheng, offers
simple tips for using Feng Shui, which means wind and water, to create
peaceful surroundings and bring positive chi (or energy) to your life.
Cheng is director of operations for the JW
Marriott Hotel Hong Kong, where Feng Shui is taken seriously. A Feng Shui
master comes to the hotel each year to check all major locations, including
the main entrance, lobby, executives' offices and hotel rooms. According to
Cheng, the master provides guidance on how to organize the space. While each
arrangement is unique to the individual, there are general rules that can be
incorporated into anybody's life. Cheng says the purpose is to either gain
positive energy when it is already strong or to protect it when it is weak.
He believes this develops a psychological feeling of confidence and energy.
Cheng's tips include:
- At work, you should be able to see the
door from your desk. If this is impossible, position a mirror so you see
the entrance.
- At home, your bed should not be directly
across from the door because the chi runs up the bed.
- Having an odd number of healthy plants
brings live, flowing energy to a room.
- A water fountain or picture of moving
water should be placed near the entrance to your office to bring money and
diffuse negative chi.
- Don't sit under anything bulky or heavy,
like a shelf or storage bin, because it symbolically impedes your movement
up the corporate ladder. If this cannot be helped, hanging a crystal
sphere from the shelf can brighten your environment.
- Use freshly cut flowers to bring
positive chi in, but get rid of them before they wilt and die.
- Having an odd number of healthy plants
brings live, flowing energy to a room, Feng Shui experts believe.
