Pronounced "fung shway", Feng Shui is Chinese for wind and water and is an ancient Chinese discipline emphasizing harmony, balance and nature.
This ancient philosophy is a new trend in home decorating which incorporates various dictums about room design and object placement.
As with all philosophies, give it some serious study before undertaking a Feng Shui makeover.
Feng Shui is about flow -- the free flow of positive energy through a space and the flow of negative energy out of a space.
Feng Shui also devotes different areas of the home to such concerns as Love/Marriage, Career, Health and Wealth. So, put your office in the Wealth area, keep your Career area uncluttered and place love symbols in your Love/Marriage area.
Colors matter, too. Red represents strength, warmth, and energy. But too much red may make a room, and what happens in it, volatile.
In your bedroom, place objects in pairs to signify you want to have a lasting, loving marriage.
For all you lonely guys and gals out there, if you want to attract a partner, pull that bed out from the wall -- you need to be able to get to it from two sides.
If you've been having a lot of health problems, remove clutter from your health area.
In general, clutter is bad news. Too much of it can confuse energies and restrict the flow of opportunities in life, love and career.
To locate a Feng Shui practitioner, consult your local interior decorator or designer.
