      50 Ways to Create a Healthy & Harmonious Home

      By Olivia H. Miller and Sheryll Hirschberger

      Close your eyes. Imagine a place where you feel connected to your center, grounded, at peace. For many of us, the image that arises is a sandy beach, a flower-filled garden, or a mountain trail.

      Step off the beach, come in from the garden, descend from the mountain. Now imagine a room in your home. What images and feelings arise when you visualize your kitchen, bedroom, or living room? Is there an area where something seems amiss, leaving you feeling disconnected, uncomfortable, confused, or overwhelmed? Conversely, where are your favorite spots? What places draw you in, making you feel calm, happy, and truly at home?

      In Western culture, we often look at our homes from the point of view of glossy design magazines, believing that new furniture, a different rug, or custom-made curtains will cure what ails our surroundings and our feelings toward them. But the places in which we live, work, and thrive all express an energy to which we consciously and subconsciously react. Feng shui is an ancient Eastern tool we can use to help us become aware of this energy and its effects on our psyches, and to ensure that this energy is positive and flowing.

      What Is Feng Shui?

      Feng shui is a branch of the Chinese system of knowledge known as Taoism (The Way). Other branches of Taoism with which Westerners have become familiar include acupuncture and Chinese medicine, tai chi and Taoist martial arts, and Taoism as a philosophy. Feng shui, which literally means wind and water, emerged as a distinct subsystem of Taoism during the T’ang Dynasty, 618-906 A.D.

      Feng shui draws on Taoism’s deep understanding of the natural world in order to create healthy and harmonious living environments. There are many distinct approaches to the system, most of which are specific to Chinese thought, culture, and design. To apply this ancient wisdom to contemporary Western living, this book draws from nine core principles of Taoism to best inform, inspire, and guide you in the practice of feng shui.

      The Nine Principles

      Anyone who has picked up a book about feng shui is aware of how vast and overwhelming this ancient system can seem. Feng Shui: Reference to Go is an easy-to-understand learning and reference tool designed for both individuals new to feng shui and those already familiar with it. Each entry offers a clear, concise explanation as well as applications of one aspect of the following nine principles:

      1. Tao represents the interconnection of all things.

      2. Yin/Yang reflects the dual nature of all things. This principle is often associated with feminine/masculine qualities.

      3. Chi results from the interplay of yin and yang, which gives rise to vital life-force energy.

      4. Four Directions arise from the movement of chi in four paths north, south, east, and west.

      5. Five Elements occur when Earth is added to the center of the Four Directions, transforming energy into material form. The Five Elements—the building blocks of all matter—are Water, Wood Fire, Earth, and Metal.

      6. I Ching (The Book of Changes) derives from predictable patterns of energy movement discovered by ancient Taoists. These patterns are symbolized by a series of broken lines representing yin and straight lines representing yang. When three lines combine, they create eight distinct energies, known as trigrams, which create the basis for the ba gua. When the eight trigrams combine, they create sixty-four possible patterns of change, known as hexagrams. For generations, the I Ching and these hexagrams have been a source of wisdom often used as a divination tool. If you’d like to read further on the subject, try The Everyday I Ching by Sarah Dening, The Taoist I Ching translated by Thomas Cleary, or The I Ching Workbook by R. L. Wing.

      7. Synchronicity reflects the mystical qualities associated with the number 7 and relates to the meaningful coincidences that
