It is said that life is about relationships; with our spouses and co-workers, our families, friends, and most importantly, our relationship with ourselves.
Feng Shui is all about energy; the direction of how it flows, blocks and stagnates, and the intentional placement of objects to encourage the flow of positive energy and the dissipation of negative. An ancient Chinese practice, feng shui focuses on deliberately arranging our things around us for positive results in our lives.
With Valentine’s Day this month, the focus on relationships draws our attention even more, whether that means healing our existing connection with others or wishing for our soul mate to appear. It is encouraging to know that there are tools that are easy to apply in our own environment to improve our relationships. The wisdom of feng shui and the application of its principles can, in fact, bring welcome change and upliftment in both subtle and very direct ways. Feng shui can be harnessed to boost our love lives by finding an ideal partner or improving existing relationships, softening the edges of difficult associations (for example, in-laws), enjoying greater harmony at home with family members, and even enhancing camaraderie with business partners in the workplace.
