Feng Shui, what is it, how did it begin, and how can it make your life more harmonious?


What is Feng Shui?

Feng Shui is bringing about a more harmoniuos life. One way to use Feng Shui is with your home. The Chinese believe that if you set your home in the right location your life would be filled with happy, success, wealth, health, and abundance. We all want to lead our lives down a greater path to success so why don't we investigate this a little further.

Where did this Feng Shui all begin?

Feng Shui arrived about five thousand years ago in ancient Chinese time. There is an old Chinese story that talks about its origin.

The first of the five emperors, Wu, was into irrigation work on the Yellow River. On one special day, Wu and a couple of other workers were out by the River working as usual when they noticed a tortoise crawl out of the river. This was a magnificent omen to them for they believed that gods lived inside their shells! But, this tortoise was especially different. Unlike other tortoises and turtles this tortoise had a perfect spell bounding square on its shell. Day in and day out, they studied this wonderful creature. They were bewildered of how this creature could have such a fortune as this. In the end this one of a kind tortoise became the bases of what we now know as Feng Shui, the I Ching, Chinese astrology, and Chinese numerology.

That tortoise, they say, was there that fine day to show us a way to harmonize our lives. Let's talk about how we can bring about Feng Shui into our websites. Our goal is to create a positive energy that people feel as they enter our site but also feel throughout their entire experience. That positive energy is good Chi'i. Chi'i is energy that must be capable of flowing well if you want a positive environment. When ch'i stands still, you get bad feng shui.

How to make your website Feng Shui.

The main ideas for creating positive Chi’i within your website is aligning web pages, and using easy clean navigation throughout the whole website. Also, making your webpage bright and clean instead of dark and dreary will activate positive chi'i. Dark energy is more likely to be processed when you use all dark colors because it feels like you are underground or in a cave where the bad energy can’t escape and the good energy can’t get in and flow around.

Bold colors and clear jpegs images are to be brought about. If you have colors that don't go together or images that are greatly compressed you will create bad chi'i.

Another thing to think about is putting natural real life images into your website. This distracts the annoyance of the computer screen and creates a feeling a nature and being around life outside.

Also, areas of stillness is a must, you don't need to have everything on your website active. This actually created bad Chi'i if used wrong you need the stillness to keep you grounded.

Other things to think about is simplicity, straight lines, and an appealing main page that will strike your visitors with positive energy right off the get go.

Feng Shui is here to stay. Here to bring about a better way of life. And, here to solve your negative chi'i that affects your life. You can also use Feng Shui in your home and other parts of your life. Even I have started to use a little Feng Shui myself .What can it hurt right?
