Feng Shui (pronounced fung shway) begins with the awareness of how our surroundings affect our lives. When its principles are utilized, a space immediately feels more comfortable and becomes more supportive to those who live or work in it.

Literally meaning "wind and water" Feng Shui is based upon the study of nature's continous changes. This ancient art of Chinese placement has been proven through centuries to improve relationships, increase prosperity and enhance health. Its principles are primordial yet its practice is extremely useful in our contempory world.

To understand how the foundation of Feng Shui works, we begin with the study of Chi. Chi refers to the life force, or qualitative energy found within humans, nature, animals and even objects. Our Chi is the vitality that determines how we move and express ourselves. A healthy body has Chi circulating freely and easily throughout. When Chi moves too fast in an environment we can feel overwhelmed. When Chi moves too slowly or is obstructed, we can feel stagnant or that life is a struggle. A goal of Feng Shui is to create a healthy environment that supports and nourishes us, inviting Chi to move easily.
