- Removing Stress From Your Life: The Art
of Practicing Feng Shui
- by Candace Czarny
For over three centuries, the Chinese
people have found in Feng
Shui the source for of internal and external balance and
harmony. We all are searching for a little harmony in our life.
Todays fast-paced life assails all our senses with demands
and
expectations. Stress, anxiety and tension accumulate as the
ongoing demands of work and family, home and free time push us
to the very brink. Pushed and pulled by the equally demanding
expectations of boss and family. Driven to the end of our rope
by the increasing demands of life, the bills and everyday
battles we push our own hopes and dreams into the background.
Everyday, another e-mail, phone call or traffic jam, pushes us
to the limit. In this environment, energy is fast depleted and
tension dramatically increased. How to escape this
self-perpetuating treadmill? Turn your home into a peaceful
sanctuary by utilizing the techniques of Feng Shui. |

The concept behind Feng Shui
is to harness positive energy. Using the guiding principles,
you can identify the difficulties within your physical environment
and remove them. While, this may appear to be another project,
consider the short and long term benefits. Feng Shui, once learned
and applied will provide you with relief from stress increase
your personal energy levels and help you to improve your overall
sense of well-being. Time learning the correct implementation
of the principles of Feng Shui is time well spent.
A life in which energy is unfocused,
prevented by the stress of the environment, a life in which all
efforts seem wasted, is a life unbalanced, a life without Feng
Shui. The accumulation of ongoing stress will, eventually, manifest
itself in the physical body. Stress releases specific hormones
ion the body. An overabundance of cortisol and adrenaline can
contribute to heart disease and other chronic illnesses. The
immune system, too, becomes affected, increasing the incidences
of colds and flus.
To avoid such possible problems,
rest is traditionally prescribed. The ability of sleep to improve
your energy levels is magnified- truly heightened, when Feng
Shui is employed. Feng Shui will show you how to correctly align
your bedroom to obtain the maximum amount of good. It will guide
you in the placement of your bed and council you on what accessories
are required to reduce stress and increase energy.
The principles of Feng Shui are
predicated on obtaining the maximum positive energy. It acts
to counteract the negative impact of daily and repetitive stress
and anxiety. These negative forces sap the life energy from you.
Feng Shui operates to restore your energy, reduce your stress
levels and create a positive environment by showing you how to
arrange your physical environment to facilitate the flow of Chi
energy. Learning how to place objects and arrange your spatial
environment to manifest optimum positive energy flow, will help
you in all
aspects of your life. A Feng Shui designed home will ensure you
are provided with the positive energy and harmonious balance
you
require to not merely live, but thrive in todays world. |
