Feng Shui has been around for over four thousand years. Recently, there has been a resurgence of interest in it as our homes have become very important to us in the past few years. The need for a harmonious and nurturing environment has become paramount.

It can become blocked in our homes and places of work. Feng Shui can help expel negativity, admit auspiciousness, and attain a state of happiness, wealth, and prosperity. If an object is awkwardly placed or a narrow entrance, it can contribute to distorting the energy flow. Feng Shui is the process of alignment which lifts the obstacles that prevent the natural flow.

For example, by adjusting your wealth corner does not mean you will win a lottery that week. It will, however, clear the energy for prosperity.
