How to Begin Your New Feng Shui Practice
Feng Shui is the practice of focusing on our surroundings to bring peace and harmony into our lives. It is not a religion, and began when the ancient Chinese observed that the environment was a large part of their quality of life.
In the Western world, we can employ placement techniques and applications in a way that fits our culture. The point is to proactively create spaces where we can be nurtured, grow and thrive.
The Basics on The Art of Placement

True Story
Please note that "Predecessor Energy" mentioned above can have a real impact on your well-being. Energy left over from those who used to inhabit your environment can linger and impact your well-being.
In my case, I had a candlestick holder that tended to sabotage my new relationships. It was given to me by a previous girlfriend. I was not aware of the influence of that candlestick holder until I studied Feng Shui - that's how subtle it can be.
So, I wagged the candlestick holder around with me as I moved from place to place, always keeping it on top of my bedroom dresser. Without realizing it, every time that I looked at it, I was reminded of my lost lover. New relationships didn't survive.
One day, I made the connection and gave that candlestick holder away to someone else who had no attachment to it.
The energy in my bedroom changed, and my new girlfriend became my wife!
