What is Feng Shui?
Feng Shui (pronounced Fung Shway), in very simple terms, is the Chinese art of placement that creates harmony between people and their surroundings. While many people think of Feng Shui as an art, others consider it both an art and a science because it explores how our environment influences our well-being and behavior. It involves arranging or rearranging your space to enhance the quality of your life. The literal translation is Wind (Feng) Water (Shui). Although many people think it is a New Age concept, it is a practice that has been around for thousands of years. It is based on the connection between our surroundings and our well-being. Everything is energy, which we refer to as Chi, and everything in our surroundings affects us. While the language of Feng Shui comes from ancient Chinese wisdom, modern research in environmental psychology, neuroscience, and biophilic design also supports the idea that our surroundings influence how we think, feel, and function. When Chi is flowing properly, it enhances our lives. It can help us achieve prosperity, health, love, happiness, and much more.
Feng Shui Can Help You Live Your Most Optimum Life
Even if you don’t know anything about Feng Shui, you are experiencing it. Have you ever walked into a space and felt a sense of calm, or the opposite, where you knew something was off? That is the Feng Shui of a space that you are feeling. Our goal is to create the most harmonious and supportive environment to help you improve the quality of your life. When your Feng Shui is working for you, your life runs more smoothly, and the right people and opportunities start showing up. Things just flow.
Feng Shui and Acupuncture Stem from the Same Roots
Feng Shui and Chinese Medicine actually originate from the same place. One way of thinking of it is as acupuncture for your home (or office). Just like in acupuncture, when you open up the blocked energy and get it flowing, it allows positive, healing energy to flow through your body. By opening up the energy in your surroundings, you invite positive Chi into your space, which gets the positive energy flowing in your life. You will notice different aspects of your life improving. Feng Shui can enhance many different areas of life, including prosperity, relationships, reputation, creativity, career, knowledge, and health.
The Three Lucks
There is another interesting concept in Feng Shui called The Cosmic Trinity, or The Three Lucks. These are Heaven Luck, Earth Luck, and Human Luck.
Heaven Luck, we have no control over. This pertains to who we were born to, where we were born, and the things that are completely out of our hands.
The good news is that, with the other two, we can do something about them. And with two out of three, the luck is stacked in our favor.
Human Luck pertains to our personal actions and choices that we make in our lives. This one we do have complete control over. We cannot control outer circumstances, but we can control how we react. We can also control how we treat people, what we think, and what we put out there.
Lastly, there is Earth Luck. This is where Feng Shui comes in. It pertains to our surroundings, including our homes and workspaces. While we can’t always control where we live or work, we can take steps to improve those environments. Even temporary spaces benefit from adjustments. By applying Feng Shui, we can create spaces that better support our well-being, goals, and daily lives.
There is a ripple effect when we apply Feng Shui. As we create harmonious surroundings, the effects ripple through all areas of our lives, affecting not only us but also the people we come into contact with.

With Feng Shui you can improve the movement of chi energy. By creating the right flow, you are literally able to empower a space in the same way that electricity illuminates a light bulb or music fills a room. The actual mechanics of the transformation are invisible, but the effect is profound. The atmosphere literally becomes magnetic with potential.
