Feng shui is the practice of working with your environment to enhance your life. It goes back thousands of years and it has been practiced throughout history by every culture. The words are Chinese. They mean Wind and Water ... two vital elements that you need to nourish yourself every day. You can live without a lot of things, but you can't live without air to breathe and water to drink. Feng shui is related to the overall energy of your workplace. It exists whether you work with it or not. I have found that feng shui brings much more synchronicity to my work and my life. Things come to me more easily and with less effort than before.

What is Feng Shui?
Feng shui (pronounced "fung shway") is the practice of arranging your environment to enhance your life. It is based on the knowledge that "ch'i" or energy flows thorough everything - through nature, your human body, your work space, your home, your possessions, your life. Everything in the universe is connected and ever-changing. Your environment acts as a mirror of your inner state and affects you deeply on a conscious and unconscious level. Because the two are interconnected, you have the power to create positive change in your life by working with your environment.

In Chinese, feng shui means "wind and water" and back over 3,000 years. Every culture has practiced it, in the form of geomancy ... the practice of living in balance with nature and natural cycles.
