Feng Shui    

Feng Shui is the art of living in harmony with your physical surroundings. An ancient Chinese philosophy, the term "feng shui" means "wind and water". The original idea in ancient China was that it was nice to live in a house with hills behind you to shield you from wind, and with a stream or some sort of running water in front of your house. The Chinese felt that people who lived with "feng shui" were much more likely to be happy and prosperous.

According to peterpauper.com, The Chinese symbols representing the words feng shui  mean "wind" and "water."This Chinese art has been practiced for at least five thousand years. Its purpose is to create harmony in every aspect of life. The purpose of people conducting feng shui practices is to create a positive energy and balance in the person's life. The first thing you should do before thinking of arranging or adding items to the home is to first clear out space. In other words, remove all clutter. According to peterpauper, clutter clearing is a mental exercise in letting go of objects and allowing life to give you what you need, rather than holding on to things that yo have already outgrown.

Next move on to cleaing, sweeping, mopping, and vacuuming. Clean all surgaces, ensuring that objects, littler, and grime are removed.Open the windows. One of the purposes of feng shui is to create a healthy space. Incense and incense holders can be helpful in clearing bad energy. Choose an aroma that suits your spirit. Ideally incense should be used when you are alone. The following aromas should be considered:

Courage: allspice, rosemary, musk

Good Luck: cedar, mint, nutmeg

Inspiration: hazel

Love: gardenia, vanilla, jasmine, lavender

Cleansing: frankincense, peppermint, myrrh

WillPower: St. John's Wort, rosemary

Consecration: carnation, rue

Consider colors for your room and energy enhancers such as crystals and water. Water can be a mood and energy booster. It signifies health & give nurtuance to life. It helps grows things. So, the little I read suggest placing water in containers in the southeast corner of your room to increase your wealth. To improve study habits and education place the water in the northeast. For good health, place water in the east and center. Crystals are said to help focus energy especially when used in  conjunction with water. Avoid too many crystals together.When using crystals for health, choose raw or rough rock crystals. Try other crystals such as Amethyst, Jade, Rose quartz, and Clear quartz for healing, protection, transforming negative energy into positve, etc.
