Feng Shui and Your Living Environment
Practitioners of feng shui strive to live in harmony with nature, to clear their environment of negative chi and to facilitate the flow of positive chi allowing it to flow freely throughout their homes and workplaces. By using fundamental theories and tools of feng shui areas of auspicious and inauspicious energies of your living environment are identified.

The Basic Harmony Concepts of Feng Shui Cures
Applying the remedies, known as feng shui cures, must be done with the proper intention so the cures are activated correctly. Once the cures are in place, the positive chi is not blocked and freely flows within your space giving you an overall feeling of well being and a sense of harmony and balance in life.
Clearing the Clutter: Essential for Harmony and the Flow of Sheng Chi
An important principle of feng shui is living in a clutter free environment. When you clear the clutter from your home or office, you are clearing stagnant, draining energy from your space. Clutter has negative influences on your life. It blocks the vital flow of universal energy, often making you feel stuck in a rut, tired and unhappy.
Once you clear the clutter from your space and your life, your energy level increases and you feel less weighted down. As the universal energy of life, sheng chi or positive chi, fills your being it makes you feel stronger, healthier and happier.
The Concept of Yin Yang for Harmony and Balance
In feng shui, the theory and philosophy of yin yang is the basis of one of the most important harmony concepts. According to this theory everything in the universe is either yin or yang energy. Yin is the feminine, passive energy force and yang is the masculine, active force of energy. Although the forces are strongly opposed to each other, they are also strongly connected. Both energies of yin and yang are needed together as one cannot exist without the other.
For a harmonious home or office, you must balance the energies of yin and yang in your surroundings. As polar opposites, both energies are essential for life.
Using the Bagua Map to Create a Positive Energy Flow
A bagua map is a fundamental tool of feng shui used in determining the auspicious, or positive energy areas, and inauspicious, the negative energy areas, of your home or office. The bagua map is divided into nine sections that correlate to nine essential aspects of life.
