Feng Shui
Improves Work/life Balance
By Pat

Feng
Shui is easy fun and one of the greatest stress relievers in the
world. It can be your best friend if you are trying to develop a new
lifestyle that reduces anxiety and stress while creating a calm more
peaceful and prosperous life.
Basic
Feng Shui principles are easy to learn and apply. While it really is
a vast and sometimes complex subject based on the number of schools
or philosophies being taught, there are some basic principles that
never change. And, when applied to your life will help you find
balance and prosperity.
Feng
Shui is about the natural flow of energy in your surroundings and
how you focus on what you want so you can attract it, not attract it
or even send it away. It really is a very simple principle.
Unclutter your surroundings, your thinking and your actions so you
can make room for a flow of new good things to come to you. You
cannot change your life and be more balance and prosperous unless
you change yourself, your surroundings and thinking first.
The
Compass school of Feng Shui is based on the natural flow of energy
on planet earth. It respects not only the north-south polar and
east-west rotational energy flow but also generally speaking the
eight major directional points on the compass.
Each
of the eight directions in Compass School Feng Shui is assigned
appropriate life categories, values, elements, seasons of the year
and events. Using the directions makes it very easy to understand
how to improve your life. It also takes away much of the confusion
created by the various schools of thought.
How
the Eight Compass Directions Help You: The chart below gives you
the category, the direction and number associated with the category
and some of the things you can use to improve the flow of energy and
balance in that category such as the rooms to focus on, the element
to use and color. For example, if you are feeling down on your luck
or not experiencing good fortune, find the south area of your living
room and/or office and add something red, burn a candle regularly or
put the number nine there or a collection of nine things.

Feng Shui is a vast subject and can be studied for a lifetime
without knowing it all. But working with a few basic principles such

and increasing prosperity.
