Inspiration through the Art of Placement

Feng Shui (pronounced Fung Shway) is the ancient Chinese art of placement to enhance the flow of “vital life energy,” known as Qi.

Practitioners believe that rooms, buildings, and all environments can be arranged and decorated in a way that maximizes the flow of Qi and results in improvements to the health and happiness of those who live in that environment. Although the translation of Feng Shui basically means “Wind and Water,” its scope and breath are much deeper than this.

Feng Shui is an expression of the oneness and interconnectedness of all things, on all levels and all dimensions. This is a “key concept” in understanding how our essence relates to everything else around us, including our environment. As we begin to sense this oneness, we then find that it is possible to gain insight from looking at our environment on a broader scale. It is often said that “Feng Shui teaches us what we already know.”

 
Health, Wealth, and Water

Need increased prosperity? An energy boost? Perhaps better health? A tabletop crystal fountain with the soothing sound of moving water is the appropriate cure. Whether on a desk, in the front entrance, in the kitchen or in the bedroom; nothing attracts wealth and good luck like a water fountain.

Crystal water fountains that pool water symbolize pooling wealth. The water element is about the flow of energy, clarity, and attracts Qi, life force energy. Qi enhances health and prosperity. Turn the fountain so that the water flows to the center of the room or environment for maximum results, this brings Qi and good luck into the home or office. Running water helps move positive energy through the space. It is extremely soothing, very calming and sets a nice ambiance for any room.

 
Empower Your Surroundings with Crystals

Enhance mental clarity of mind and expand your thoughts by hanging a faceted crystal ball in the knowledge bagua of your home, office or bedroom, or one in each place. For a richer effect, hang your crystal with a fishing line and add a red ribbon, cut to a multiple of 9″ in length.
