These days many no-nonsense designers and modern day engineers are actually resorting to the age-old art of Feng Shui. The art of Feng Shui governs the correct placement of buildings, accessories and furniture so attract the maximum amount of positive energy in the house and life. However, it is quite surprising, why would people living in the age of technology and facts now go towards such an ancient art?
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.
However, there are also a lot of scientific principles involved in this practice as well. For example, interior rooms are encouraged to be as clutter-free as possible so as to not block the natural flow of energy. Designers and interior decorators always encourage their clients to keep their room neat and orderly, as clutter can bring about feelings of depression, frustration, and can stifle ones creativity.
In Feng Shui, a lot of stress is given on the right color use. For example, it is said that you should use bright colors such orange and yellow in rooms where maximum energy is required (kitchen and dining room can be example). Warmer colors like browns and greens can be uses in places of comfort like the bedroom and the loving room, where you need to feel cozy and protected.
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!
Feng Shui is finding more acceptance amongst people these days since everyone wants maximum energy in their lives. Most people multi-task, are quite busy in their lives and hence are quite stressed out. Most people want something that can add a zing to their lives and give them a zest for living. Nowadays, with its soaring popularity Feng Shui is a hot choice to brighten up your life and add a spring in your step.
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.
