Introducing You To Feng Shui
You may think that Feng Shui is an absurd art based on false notions, which can in no way affect, or change, or for that matter do anything about the quality of the life that you are living. If you think on these lines then you can be no farther from the truth. Feng Shui as an art is based largely on common sense. Living in an age when technology is progressing by leaps and bounds you might have certain reservations about this 3,000 years old Chinese art, which has recently gained a lot of popularity. Such reservations are understandable. However, forming a prejudice against Feng Shui without completely knowing it would be completely uncalled for.
Feng Shui Common Sense
There are a number of Feng Shui principles and rules, which, are based either partially or completely on common sense. Feng Shui advises you to get rid of all broken pieces of furniture, decoration pieces, burnt cloth, etc. To ensure that you have complete peace of mind it is important that you are not surrounded by junk and waste. Surrounding yourself with things that you do not need and can become the cause of numerous accidents is bound to bring disharmony in the house in one way or the other. Feng Shui also advises you to ensure that your surroundings are absolutely clean. This again is only common sense. An unclean house or office area is a breeding ground of different kinds of germs. This can lead to numerous illnesses.
Feng Shui and Colors
The effect of colors on a person’s mind has been acknowledged by numerous experts. It has even been scientifically proven. The fact that we believe that wearing white clothes in the summer and black in the winter can have cooling or warming effect on the body and that red arouses passion proves the point. Feng Shui plays around a lot with the effect that colors have on people. Walls that have lighter shades are bound to be more soothing than one, which has bright shades.
Your bedroom being the space where you want to soothe your worked-up nerves should never have bright colors on its walls. Your workplace on the other hand should have a lot of bright colors to liven it up with a lot of energy. Soothing colors in your workplace may have a negative effect on your work as you may land up feeling so calm that you are unable to work. This way, by manipulating colors through Feng Shui you can actually affect the way you live, adjust and relate to your surroundings.
