What is Feng Shui? Feng Shui (also Fengshui) is a 5,000 year old tradition which comes to us from China. It teaches us that we can decorate our homes and offices in ways that enhance our own personal energies of Fire, Earth, Metal, Water, or Wood. The purpose of Feng Shui is to balance the flow of energy in your immediate environment to promote harmony, happiness, and success. Feng Shui is a method of relating or connecting your physical surroundings with specific aspects of life. It works through your unconscious response to what you see and experience in any given environment. Feng Shui, which translates into wind and water, provides easy, creative and fun ways to design your environment to benefit your love, life, health, knowledge, family relationships, career, and finances. In ancient China, the Feng Shui master was a spiritual master as well. He studied the forces of nature, the direction and force of the wind and water, the surrounding elements, the qualities of yin and yang, the seasons, the earth energies, the quality of the land, the building materials, and the direction of the building in order to maximize the vital energy or Ch'i of the dwelling. Each factor was crucial in building an auspicious place to live, worship or work. There are over 72 factors which are considered in doing a Feng Shui analysis. The major categories are: Site - Building Exterior - Building Interior - Person - Cosmic. The guide/road map used is called the ba-gua, pa-kua, or nine palaces. Color, shape, light, placement, and elements (water, wood, fire, earth, metal) are some of the tools used in balancing your environment. These tools are used to create the best environment for the individual(s) in that particular structure.

Whether your desk helps you run a publicly-traded corporation, a home based business, or if it is just the place where you manage your personal finances, your desk is the most important symbol for financial success.2 Case in Point: World of Fortune, Singapore
In Singapore, where Mr Lui is based, MNCs make up about 35 per cent of Mr Lui's clientele, which includes businesses from the region, such as Indonesia. All businesses have mostly the same requests when they approach Mr Lui. Often, they want to see an increase in sales revenue and their staff to work harmoniously together. Said Mr Lui: “Fengshui solutions include re-situating the sales department to the office area with the greatest wealth potential, and shifting the accounts section to the northernmost, or most protected, office space.” According to Mr Lui, it takes about six months for the effects of a fengshui consultation to show. He said: "Some skeptics may not believe that it really works. But fengshui is an ancient art, so there has got to be some truth in it. Keep an open mind.”
