TheThreeFoundationalPrinciplesofFengShui:1) EverythingIsAlive

Everything,includingyourhome,car,andcomputer,isalivewiththevitalenergycalledCh’i.Allthepeople,places,andthingsthatsurroundyouarealivewiththeassociationsandmemoriesyouhaveaboutthem.Allyourpossessionsareessentially“talking”toyouallthetime.

2) EverythingisConnectedLikeitornot,youareessentiallyconnectedtoeverybodyandeverythingsurroundingyou.Yourrelationshipswithyourhome,garden,neighbors,andcommunityareespeciallyimportantduetotheirproximity.Also,allaspectsofyourlife,includingyourhealth,wealth,andgeneralhappiness,areallconnectedtoeachother,anddirectlyaffecteachotherallthetime.

3) EverythingIsAlwaysChangingTheoneconstancyinourworldischange.Asyouchange,grow,andmovethroughyourlife,itisimportanttochangeyourenvironmenttoreflectwhoyouarenow.Thesechangesmaybesmallorlarge,fromanewplantinthelivingroomtoanewhomeofficeinaformerguestroom.ConsidertheChinesesaying,“Ifyouwantchangeinyourlife,move27thingsinyourhouse.”

“Firstweshapeourdwellings,andthenourdwellingsshapeus.”

-WinstonChurchill

2) PutSafetyandComfortFirstChoosethingsthatbothpassthesafetyandcomforttest,andarebeautifultoyou.Forinstance,choosetableswithroundedcornersandchairsthataregenuinelycomfortableandbeautiful.Toassureadeepsenseofsafetyandcomfort,positionyourselfinthe“powerplace”-facingthedoor-asoftenaspossible.

3) ExpressandOrganizeYourselfYourCh’iwillexpandandstrengthenasyoucreativelyexpressyourself.Ifyoushareyourhomewithothers,makesureyouhaveaplacewhereyoucantrulyexpressyourpersonaltasteandpreferences,whetherit’sonawall,inaroom,orthroughoutanentirewing.Expressionislikeexhalation,andorganizationislikeinhalation.Onecannottrulyexistwithouttheother.Whenyouorganizeyourpossessions,newcreativeexpressionsandopportunitieswillflowintoyourlife.
