A reader asked for information on Feng Shui. I must confess I know nothing, absolutely nothing, about this. So I did some research.
Forewarning ... this sounds complicated. I pretty much got lost after the concept of Chi.
But you are probably much wiser than I.
Here are two articles.
The first article gives some basic, practical tips that I understood - at least how to implement them if not necessarily how they affected things.
The second article gives a good background on the basics of Feng Shui.
If anyone really understand this or has some good examples, please leave a comment below for the rest of us. Thanks.
As Asian culture becomes more popular in the western world, the ancient Chinese method of creating a harmonious environment, feng shui, is also gaining ground. And really that is all there is to feng shui. And I believe that asthetics is what western designer find interesting.
For example plants are auspicious from the point of feng shui. It is always good to grow plants in the house, especially wooded plants.
Plants in the office also bring about increased luck in your career. Place plants in the east, south or south-east corners of your office for maximum luck.
If you are a married couple and want children, avoid putting flowers in the bedroom. Instead, place a basket of fruits in your bedroom. Fruits, especially pomegranates, are a symbol of fertility.
Don't place thorny plants inside your home. Thorny plants do form a protective shield, and could be placed outside the home. Don't place them too near the front door. They could be placed a little further away from the door, or in the balcony.
Don't place bonsai plants inside or outside the home. They represent stunted growth.
Trim your plants regularly. Overgrown plants promote bad energy. Similarly, trim trees in your garden regularly. Don't let them overwhelm your house.
Fresh flowers bring luck and fortune in your home. Place fresh flowers in your living room on a regular basis. However, once they die, throw them out. Don't leave dying flowers in your home.
Avoid placing dried flowers in your house. They are believed to bring misfortune. Artificial flowers are a far preferable option and are believed to bring luck.
Do not place any flowers, plants or any other auspicious feng shui symbol in the bathroom. The good luck will backfire and turn into bad luck.
Ever noticed lemons (nimbus) hanging on the entrances of shops? They are believed to ward off the evil eye, according to Hindu superstitious beliefs. Similarly, oranges and lemons are believed to be powerful symbols of fortune, and bring prosperity to the home. They should be placed at the entrance.

As we welcome the New Year, many still believes in the power of Feng Shui. The year of the rabbit to be specific can be a good year to some. There are a lot of ornaments or pieces to have in order to be lucky and have success. Thanks a lot for sharing the info. This is a great tip. I must say, there is no harm in believing.

Americans will have to have a civil war or revolution based on poverty like in France or Russia before such an extreme system as has developed becomes tabu (like a strong currency is aboslutely necessary in Germany due to perceptiopn of inflation bringing down Weimar Republic for example).

Thanks for sharing these Feng Shui links! It does have the basic, but I'm looking for something about stairs and its relation to Feng Shui. Do you have any links for that? Both of the links you've shared only seems to have covered the stuff for single-floor homes.

Histories make men wise ; poems witty; the mathematics subtle; natural philosophy deep ; moral grave ; logic and rhetoric able to contend .

The rains really don't depart until late September or early October. Sometimes it stays longer.
That's why I remember standing in the rain and feeling (and smelling) like a wet dog during the days Don Shula and Jimmy Johnson were the Dolphins coaches -- because both coaches forced their teams to practice in the elements. And the media had to stand there and watch.
I was suprised at the warmth of the color and that it even had color, since the name of the shade in the sample book was some sort of ivory! I decided to think it through and came to the casdfonclusion that I needed a tiny push out of my comfort zone and now I really like it. It adds so much warmth to the cool colors I have used in the family room. It is super comfy and I am rolling with it!
