Basic Feng Sui
Is there a favorite room or spot in your home to which everyone seems to gravitate?  What about an area that looked promising when you took the space, but turned out to be unused or uncomfortable to be in?  Is your business prospering, or is money going out , not coming in?  These situations can be solved using the art and science of ancient Chinese Feng Shui principles (pronounced fung shway).  We often hear the saying, "as goes our environment, so we go."  Feng Shui teaches how to create harmony and balance around us.  In this workshop we will take a hard look in our environment to create and acknowledge healthy energy (Chi), and make changes in our work and living space that will create corresponding changes in our life.  Feng Shui, which translates to "the wind and the water," is the Chinese art of correct placement.  Practitioners believe that by arranging our furnishings and decor in a way that aligns with  nature, we draw harmony and good health into our lives.
