Have you heard of Feng shui?

Last year a friend bought me a Feng shui book, about an ancient Chinese philosophy of nature. Since I read the book I feel like I should pay more to attention to my surroundings, but I'm not sure if Feng shui works or not. Does it work?

I totally believe in the idea that if you arrange your furniture in a certain way that you will be happier because it is easier to organize and easier to function. I think that can make your space seem much less stressful. I'm curious to see if anyone practices this and what they think...

I do love this show on the HGTV!

It's actually a bit more than arranging furniture. I used to work in Hong Kong and they took it very seriously. There are actual instances where buildings are completely redone because the Feng Shi master had issues. It has to do with keeping good energy in and creating an environment that promotes happiness. For instance, you never want to have doors to the outside in a straight line from each other as good energy passes right through. You don't want to have a statue of Buddha facing out of a home but instead, into a room. For a 3,000 sq foot office in Hong Kong, we ended up paying something like $25k to have the place checked.

I haven't read much into it, but what I know about it it totally makes sense. The same stuff with what others have said, it is all about organizing the room/space into a harmonious environment.

But, like most metaphysical type things, it all comes down to what you believe. If you believe it is worth it, it is, if you believe it isn't, then it isn't.
