| Feng Shui Feng Shui literally means wind and water. This philosophy and practice, which originated in China centuries ago, has become extremely popular in the West in more recent years.
As described by Angi Ma Wong in her book, Feng Shui Dos and Taboos, Feng Shui is the art of placement and is one of the five components of a person’s destiny. The three major concepts of feng shui are the flow of energy; the balance of yin and yang; and the interaction of the five elements in the universe: fire, earth, water, metal and wood.
Another favourite author of mine on this topic is Lillian Too. Her book, Lillian Too’s Easy-to-use Feng Shui, offers 168 ways to success. In it, you learn strategies to enhance your interiors, maximize your career potential, magnify your success and energize your love life.
The hanging of auspicious pictures in different areas of your home or office can bring you success. Lillian purports that an inspiring photo of a scene with water which is hung in front of you in the office can give you success in your business life. Images of peonies are believed to encourage romance for young women.
All the images that you see under the headings of Flowers, Nature, Foods, and Scenes are available as photo cards. Some of them have a specific Feng Shui applications. Each Feng Shui card is accompanied by a write-up, which suggests an area in your home where you should place the card. It is based on the Compass School of Feng Shui. For example, it is suggested that you hang a picture of a turtle or turtles in the North to enhance your career and business success. | |
