About Feng Shui
Feng Shui is the ancient Chinese art of life space design. It has been developed over thousands of years incorporating Taoism philosophy and hard earned practical experience. It is the art and science behind the material world of Asia, woven into the basic fabric of almost all residential and commercial architecture. The purpose behind Feng Shui is to balance the energy in those places where we live and work ("lifespace"). Proper placement of large (and sometimes small) objects such as furniture and decor can have a tremendous impact on our subconscious over a day to day basis. Although we may not be sensitive to our own energy states, other people can usually pick up on them right away, influencing our lives, attitude, relationships and success. Feng Shui takes into account individualities, analyzing first the person, then the place in which the person lives and/or works. Finally, all of these elements are considered and brought into harmony or balance by a skilled Feng Shui practitioner. Recently, Feng Shui has been becoming more and more popular the West. The well know real estate giant Donald Trump paved the way for Feng Shui in New York City with his celebrated Trump International Building in Columbus Circle. Feng Shui consultants were brought in very early in the construction of this building to help ensure its success. Since the inception of this building, scores of architects, contractors and real estate investors have realized the potential for Feng Shui and insisted upon its incorporation into their own projects throughout the city.
