Feng Shui English: Geomancy in Plain English
By having furniture and other things a certain way in your personal space you will be able to let the Chi (positive energy) flow naturally. But what does Chi and feng shui English mean?
When the Chi flows naturally in your home and other places, you will notice that your life has better quality to it and things seem to run smoother. It is thought that in order to maintain good Chi flow in the world, certain places that are not meant for human inhabitants should be left alone and in their natural state. You can find tons of books, magazines, websites and even television shows that help you learn how to Feng Shui your own space.
There are many things involved in Feng Shui, not just moving furniture and using colors of the elements. Feng Shui has to do with everything in your life, which way you face to work and even things like where you want to be buried can be and are affected by Feng Shui. For many people Feng Shui just means feeling comfortable in your own space so little things can help improve the Chi flow in you home, office and even the car. It's a wonder how anyone can live life without using Feng Shui.
Ever hear the saying, "Life is what you make it"? Well in the Feng shui world this is true. By using elements, objects and placement techniques you can enhance all the areas of your life that you need to and tone down the areas that seem to be over taking everything else.
The best thing is, you do not have to believe in Feng Shui for it to work for you and the people in your general area, and it works regardless. All the elements, Earth, Water, Fire, Wood and Metal, have certain corresponding colors that also correspond with certain areas of your life.
By using the right colors and elements in the right areas and not having certain things like TVs and mirrors in the bedroom can help anyone live a better life and sleep better at night. The ancient Chinese believed that bad Feng Shui could even make you fall ill and end up with all kinds of ailments.
Bad Feng Shui can also cause you to have a chaotic life instead of having things run smoothly like they should. Feng Shui is hence believed to have more of an effect on your everyday life than you can possibly imagine.
Life can seem so much better with all the good energy floating around in the air. If you are still skeptical, you should really do more research in to the subject. I guarantee that if you just try this practice you will be living a better life than you know it. Traditional Feng Shui text are in Chinese but with more people becoming interested in this ancient art, more Feng Shui knowledge has been translated into the English language so it is much easier today to get fengshui ideas and tips.

Feng Shui and Clutter – an Essential Tip to Know
The Chinese words Feng Shui literally mean (Feng) Wind and (Shui) Water. This highlights the emphasis of Feng Shui which put great reference to the nature, the environment and the surrounding.
In fact, Feng Shui has little or no connection with religion although Feng Shui is sometimes also being mistaken as part of Taoism. It is not, although they do have some similarities in certain theories about luck and environment. Feng Shui is in fact a study of the natural elements that can affect our life, health, relationship and wealth.
If you dig deep into the Feng Shui applications, they focus very much on the placement of the elements in your surrounding. A comprehensive and effective Feng Shui application focus on the placement of furniture, the design of the layouts and all things that enhance the physical and natural environment.
However, some Feng Shui practitioners use a lot of Chinese ornaments as Feng Shui cures and enhancements; this is because the application was influenced by Chinese Culture as it was originated from China more than four thousands year ago.
In China, due to the Cultural Revolution that suppressed many ancient Chinese beliefs for decades, Feng Shui was almost lost to the world. Thankfully, there were many Feng Shui enthusiasts and practitioners who escaped from China during the Cultural Revolution and they were able to pass on most of the Feng Shui knowledge and application through the generations. Thus, do not be surprised if you observed that the Chinese in China do not know as much about Feng Shui or practice the Feng Shui application as much as the Chinese outside China.
It is common knowledge that our environments have a great impact on our lives. Feng Shui is the Chinese’s ancient way of understanding that influence. Thus, understanding of Feng Shui and the correct re-arranging of Feng Shui elements can lead to an improvement of our life, health, relationship and wealth.
An Essential Feng Shui Tip
“Get Rid of Clutter” - Almost every good Feng Shui class or seminar would say it so. Ever wonder why? That's because it's the truth. The basic premise of Feng Shui is that your life experience, even the extent of your luck – is influenced by your surroundings. At the same time, the state of your home or workspace is a reflection of your mood and attitude.
A simple tip which Feng Shui masters will never tell you as it is just too obvious. This is one tip which they will not tell you when you ask them (at fees costing up to thousands of dollars) to Feng Shui your home or office. Why? Because your home or office would be tidy and neat on such a day. Isn't it so?
Many a times, Feng Shui tips are as simple as keeping your homes or offices neat and tidy. Getting Rid of Clutter is the most important way to dramatically improve the Feng Shui of your home.
It's a Feng Shui tip that many take for granted. They rather spend lots of money buying Feng Shui ornaments which ironically add to the clutter in their homes and offices,
only to realise that their lucks are still as bad (if not, worse off than before) and then they blame it on Feng Shui and said that Feng Shui doesn't work. Keep in mind that Feng Shui when applied in the wrong way can have adverse effects. So, please do not over do in terms of buying and placement of Feng Shui ornaments.
With clutter, most people cannot think clearly as they always looking for things among the mess. Imagine being feeling happy and good when your minds are always on finding things among the stacks of mess at home or in your office.
Think about this for a while.
You may heard about "Chi" (the flow of energy) and Feng Shui. Clutters basically affect the Chi, and thus your luck. Clutter creates bad Chi flow because it prevents good Chi from flowing within your environments.
Clear the clutter and you clear the space for good Chi to flow, which is much better than placement of any Feng Shui ornaments, to kick-start the good Feng Shui in your environment.
If there is one tip that you want to take away from reading this article, that will be:
Before you rush out to buy any Feng Shui ornaments, start with clearing up your clutter.
Get rid of the mess and you get rid some of the bad Chi (and some bad luck…)
