There are basic Feng Shui tools that have been used for millennia as remedies to treat, stabilize, enhance, and balance Chi in the environment. Following are examples of such items that may enhance your home and workplace, bringing about positive change.
Mirrors: Mirrors activate, enhance, and circulate Chi. They correct many problems by enlarging rooms, amplifying existing light, actually rerouting Chi, changing existing windows and views.
Lighting: Lighting is often a quick and easy way to bring additional Chi into an area with its warmth and illumination.
Crystals: Round faceted crystals are used in Feng Shui to balance Chi that’s moving too fast or too slow for human comfort.
Sound makers: Harmonious sound makers, such as wind chimes, wind sculptures, bells, and musical instruments “call in” benevolent Chi. They summon new opportunities with their appealing sounds.
Living things: This category includes all things that require regular maintenance, such as plants, flowers, pets and wildlife.
Objects of nature: Objects of nature are those things that don’t require active maintenance and care, such as rocks, pinecones, driftwood, shells, potpourri, and incense.
Water features: Interior and exterior water features move and stimulate Chi.
Wind dancers: Whether brightly colored and whimsical, or serious art pieces, “wind dancers” such as mobiles, whirligigs, banners, and flags uplift and invigorate Chi.
Art: Art of all kinds, including paintings, sculptures, collages, and textiles, have a powerful effect on people. The general rule of thumb is that to secure Chi, art needs to elicit the positive images and feelings that relate to the area being enhanced. For example, romantic art is best when placed in the Love area: art that is powerful and dynamic belong in the Wealth, Career, and Fame areas.
