Fengsui:
Feng shui is an ancient Chinese system of balancing our physical environment to promote harmony and a sense of well-being and flow. In fact, its very name, meaning “wind and water,” signifies the two elements of flow.
Feng shui practitioners believe that everything (and everyone) in a living space has a certain energy, or “chi” — from a home’s natural, external surroundings to its furnishings and decor. The theory goes that how we arrange those objects can affect all aspects of our lives.
Practitioners also use feng shui to address specific areas of concern, such as health, wealth, careers, and relationships. You know, like, the stuff most of us care about.
While feng shui may seem mysterious, or even mystical, its guiding principles are quite simple. One key aspect is seeking balance (between yin and yang) despite constant change.
One small study found that bedrooms using principles of feng shui found that sleep quality improved. And the use of feng shui in office environments might make you feel better.
On a practical level, that means there’s an optimal place for every object —bed, books, laptop, even garbage bins.
