Feng
shui focuses on positive energy only
By
Peggy Peattie
Feng shui is an ancient
Eastern art that maximizes positive energy in the home, garden and office by focusing
on the relationship between people and their environments. Small changes, such
as bringing elements of nature into the office, clearing out clutter or fixing
things that are broken, could change a person's outlook on life. Large corporations
seeking a happier, more productive work force are turning to feng shui consultants.
Some home buyers consider feng shui principles before selecting a home.
San
Diego Alive spent some time with feng shui consultant Cathleen McCandless, who
took us into a home, then a coffee shop to illustrate some simple points that
immediately can improve how we feel in our surroundings. She offers her top ten
feng shui tips and more information on her Web site, sandiegofengshui.com.
