The literal meaning of Feng Shui is wind and water, two of nature's gifts that influence our environment in subtle but definite ways.  Feng Shui speaks to how all of our senses are affected by our surroundings, which is frequently below our level of awarenes, and their effect on our daily lives. For example, our environment can contribute to depression or joy, whichever one chooses.  The cascading results of being in a workplace or home that nourishes our spirit can expand our peace of mind, reduce stress, fear and grief, improve creativity, prosperity, health, and relationships, and can lead us back to forgotten dreams.

A Feng Shui consultation assesses one's environment and coordinates ones's desires with the physical manipulation of that environment, using good ergonomics and aesthetics, placement of furniture, colors, shapes, sounds, lighting, etc., to accomplish this.  Although there are some important generic principles adhered to, the practical recommendations made are uniquely tailored to the individual(s) who inhabit the space.  The person is the most pivotal part of an effective Feng Shui consultation rather than rigid rules that may not apply in our Western world.
