Feng Shui has become wildly popular in the United States. As we realize how important physical surroundings are to our personal health and well being, we are breaking away from traditional decorating solutions and seeking alternative approaches. Making a conscious change to your space is a powerful and effective way to support and enhance the changes you want in your life. When the environment is supportive, the desired changes occur more naturally and with greater grace and ease.
As a culture, we tend to be more outwardly focused. We attempt to amass more and more, look for answers outside ourselves while at the same time asking isn't there more to life? There is a thirst for spirituality and meaning in our lives. East has begun to meet West and we have started to go inward, seeking to better understand and know our highest Truth and good. Feng Shui enhances and supports this inward movement we seek to know our hearts desires and have it reflected in our larger body called home. We want to be at home with ourselves and enjoy and cherish our homes reflection.
One of the primary tenants of Feng Shui and Eastern thought is that everything has energy or a vibration. From elementary science, we were taught that everything is made up of protons, neutrons and electrons. I once argued with my biology teacher when he tried to tell me that a table was moving or vibrating. Well, Im finally ready to admit he was right! Everything is made up of the same stuff, it is all just arranged and formulated differently, each having its own unique energy. And because we too have our own energy, the same stuff, we absorb the energy of our environment. Better said, we become one with our environment. For example, when you go into an Italian restaurant and it is garlicky, at first you notice the garlic, but fifteen minutes later, you no longer notice the strong aroma. Or, you walk into an elegant and classy restaurant and you somehow sense how inappropriate it would be to laugh outrageously or to have a big sneeze. So, as we absorb the energy of our environment, we become one with it and because like attracts like (yet another universal law), we draw to ourselves that which reflects our environment.
