A lot of those in the engineering and design fields these days are giving some thought to feng shui, which dates to antiquity and concerns the placement of furniture within a home or office, even the placement of buildings themselves to encourage the positive flow of energy.

A lot of those in the engineering and design fields these days are giving some thought to feng shui, which dates to antiquity and concerns the placement of furniture within a home or office, even the placement of buildings themselves to encourage the positive flow of energy. So why is feng shui making such a comeback and more importantly, why now?

Its important to note that feng shui is not just art, although it can be called that. There are no hard and fast rules about many of the elements of feng shui, just like any other medium, so there is a lot of room for interpretation " as there is in art.

Feng Shui can also be equated to science as well since there are a lot of scientific principles in this discipline. For instance, Feng Shui advises that the rooms in the interior of the house should be kept free of clutter so as to avoid blocking the natural energy flow. Most modern day interior decorates advocate keeping the house clutter free and neat since clutter can cause negativity, depression and frustration and hamper ingenuity.

There is a lot of emphasis on the use of color in feng shui, with the idea being to place vibrant colors in places where one can use their energy the most (for instance, wherever you drink your coffee in the morning!), with more muted, warmer colors in the places you go to relax such as a bedroom or the den. These colors will make you feel relaxed, comforted and secure.

Scientific studies have shown that color does in fact affect your mood. Bright colors make you feel energized, with darker colors having the opposite effect. While there has not been extensive research done on feng shui as such, it does use many principles which science has independently proven. It seems that science is just now catching up with this ancient art in many ways!

A lot of people today are looking to have more energy to help them through their hectic, over-scheduled days. This has led many to feng shui as a natural remedy for stress and lack of energy which modern lifestyles can leave one feeling drained of. It's a natural perk up and one which has worked for many.

After all, the applications of feng shui obviously cant hurt someone; theres no harm in picking up your clutter or trying a new pain color in your kitchen, so if theres no harm in it, why not try it out?

It looks like Feng Shui has found acceptance in millions of people. This age-old science or art what ever you may term it, has become an integral part of our lives in every aspect. Feng Shui is governing our lifestyle in a big way, whether it is the use of the right color or maximum energy flow in our house, most people have made Feng Shui an indispensable part of their lifestyle.
