What is Feng Shui?

Good Afternoon from the Garden Cafe. What a wonderful sunny, cold and snowy day it is on this beautiful Tuesday afternoon!! It's interesting as I sit here sipping on my green tea, I am observing the room around the Cafe and making sure that the life force energy is flowing nicely. Everyone must feel a sense of calm and contentment while enjoying their beverage or snack. The way to direct and balance the energy and flow of this ancient Chinese practice is to use Feng Shui. They have been relying on it for more than 5,000 years. Balancing energy is important in a given space so that the chi, or life force, flows properly. According to Feng Shui, a cluttered space can't attract or keep the energy of wealth, good health or good fortune. Try buying an aquarium, hanging a painting of a waterfall, or just moving a mirror might help. These days, the practice is popular in the West as well, and some interior decorators even specialize in offering commercial and residential clients feng shui services.

So think about placing furnishings and decorative objects in harmony around your home. Bringing in the elements with things like fountains and candles can also boost a room's positive chi!! Enjoy the Feng Shui at the Garden Cafe, you will feel a sense of amazing good fortune and positive energy.
