There are many people today who are very interested in the ancient art and science that is Chinese feng shui. They are curious as to whether or not it can really usher in positive energy and vitality to their lives, and help with such things as wealth, health, and happiness.
While Chinese feng shui is no magic bullet that will cure any of your ailments or that will somehow cause a big bag of money to appear on your front door, there are many positive benefits one can receive when applying its principles to your life. Lets take a look at a few.
Chinese feng shui encourages harmony and peace within the home. It encourages people to de-clutter both their lives and their homes. It is impossible to tell other people what can and cannot be considered clutter in their homes because, as the saying goes, “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure”. Chinese feng shui is used to encourage positive energy so anything that induces negative feelings or drains energy can be considered clutter.
Of course, this doesn’t just apply to material possessions. You can also declutter in regards to spiritual and metaphorical possessions, too. Some people have friends who only get in contact when they need something, and tend to leave them feeling empty and drained after a short visit. These are the sort of people who might be cluttering up your life. If they take more than they add, you should revisit your relationship with them, using an objective eye.
Its also true that the Asian cultures value hard work and applying ones self to your family and your career. Chinese feng shui encourages you to use your energy in these types of positive ways; by doing so, you will be only encouraging more positive energy in your life. Think about how that might apply in your own family.
Do you use your energy, resources and time to encourage strong family bonds? Do you see your family as deserving of your time and energy? Do you feel rewarded and happy when your family are in harmony and happy with one another? If you can understand and apply this Chinese feng shui principle that positive energy attracts more positive energy, you should work hard at strengthening your family bonds as much as you can.
It is true too that Chinese feng shui puts a great deal of emphasis on the use of color in ones home and environment, however, be careful that you dont fall for folklore and myth when it comes to this aspect of the art. There is no real basis for thinking that a red front door is lucky or special in any way, or that certain colors will bring prosperity and wealth when used abundantly.
Colors in rooms and home areas are just used to create moods. Dark colors will calm and soothe and bright colors will create a feeling of energy.
In these ways, you can see how Chinese feng shui is able to add vitality and positive energy to your life.
