Feng Shui, to many Westerners, is as unknown as the place of it's origin; China if you didn't know. More importantly it is an aspect of a philosophy on living a happy fulfilling existence regardless of circumstance. You may understand Feng Shui to be something akin to Home Staging or interior decorating but it is much much more than just that. In China, Feng Shui is a component of a major religion Taoism but you need not be religious to appreciate and or practice it's tenants but it is a spiritual path, none the less. In fact it's principles can be successfully incorporated into all religions that believe a universal energy or spirit is in and apart of all things. Taoism or the Tao means "The Path" and it's adherents recognize that how we think of the world creates our world, that the less resistance you have to change the happier you will be. For those of you who live on Oahu and are interested in finding out more about this uplifting and simplifying philosophy please join Alice Inoue in an in-depth introduction to Feng Shui-

Feng Shui with Alice Inoue This is an all-day workshop designed to give you the tools you need to bring multiple levels of your life into balance. Using the core principles of Feng Shui, Alice will share information on how to recreate your life by bringing the energies around you and within you into balance.With all that is going on in our lives and in the world today, it is more important than ever to center ourselves. In this workshop, we will take Feng Shui to new levels:

 
BODY: You are never separate from your environment. No matter where you live or work, your environment has a great impact on how you feel and on your energy output. Learn easy-to-implement Feng Shui tools to create an environment that supports you rather than drains you.


MIND: Our minds are constantly "on," with over 60,000 thoughts a day. Interestingly, 95 percent of our
thoughts are the same as those from the day before, and 80 percent of these habitual thoughts are negative. Learn how our surroundings impact our thoughts, and how we can shift ourselves toward greater control of our thoughts. Find out where our fears come from and how we can take charge and quiet the inner critic.

 
HEART: Our hearts have an electromagnetic field 5,000 times more powerful than our brain, yet over
time we shut down our hearts, losing the most powerful energetic influencer of all. Learn heart-opening tips to implement in your environment, as well as how to gently reconnect to your inner voice, which holds the answers to your journey.

 
SPIRIT: When life experiences are challenging, we  feel separated from our Spirit, the all-knowing part of our Selves. If we live our lives solely from our mental and emotional bodies and fail to understand the spiritual perspective of our life's journey, life is more difficult to navigate. Open up to a new understanding of your Spirit and how it can guide you. Join Alice for a day of awakenings and magic, as she offers multiple keys to shift your life from deep within. The day will be a mixture of lectures, slides, discussion, meditations and exercises. Let's Feng Shui our lives on all levels together!

Kimo, That sounds wonderful, I wish I could attend. So much of Feng Shui also makes good design sense. It's a fascinating subject.

Aloha Allegra, mahalo for your comment. Lao-Tse the legendary mystic who created the Tao Te Ching believed there was only the universal laws, which included the law of attraction and that the laws of men only brought disharmony when held outside the universal principles. It has not changed any in the milliniums since his life time.

Aloha Cathy, I always suggest to those who are not already well acquainted with the topic to read "The Tao of Pooh" (as in Winne the Pooh) by Benjamin Hoff. I think it gives a wonderful insight into the purity of mind that flows from Taoism from a Western perspective.

Aloha Cheryl, as I suggested to Cathy, try Benjamin Hoff's book its thin reading but packs a lot.

Aloha Cathy, thank you for visiting. The Tao says this

"One may know the world

 without leaving home.

Through every window

one can see the supreme Tao.

The further afield one goes

the less likely one is to find it.

Therefore the Sage

knows the world without traveling,

sees all by looking within,

and accomplishes everthing

without doing anything".

-Tao Te Ching-
