We are hearing more about alternative practices these days than ever before and people are becoming increasingly open minded. Many people are interested in the ancient science and art that is feng shui. They want to know whether it can really bring vitality and positive energy into their lives and help with such things as health, wealth and overall happiness.

While Chinese feng shui is no magic bullet that will cure any of your ailments or that will somehow cause a big bag of money to appear on your front door, there are many positive benefits one can receive when applying its principles to your life. Lets take a look at a few.

Chinese feng shui encourages harmony and peace within the home. It encourages people to de-clutter both their lives and their homes. It is impossible to tell other people what can and cannot be considered clutter in their homes because, as the saying goes, "one man's trash is another man's treasure". Chinese feng shui is used to encourage positive energy so anything that induces negative feelings or drains energy can be considered clutter.

Of course, this doesn't just apply to material possessions. You can also declutter in regards to spiritual and metaphorical possessions, too. Some people have friends who only get in contact when they need something, and tend to leave them feeling empty and drained after a short visit. These are the sort of people who might be cluttering up your life. If they take more than they add, you should revisit your relationship with them, using an objective eye.

Since feng shui is based on traditional Chinese values, it tends to focus on ideals of working hard and applying yourself to career and family. These are positive ways to use your energy, and will help encourage positive energy to expand in your life. However, the way to apply these principles to your own life will be different for you than for other people. Think about the way to apply these values to your family and career.

Do you use your time, your resources, and your energy to encourage strong family bonds? Do you see your family as an investment opportunity for that energy? If you understand and apply the principle being taught by Chinese feng shui that positive energy begets positive energy, then you wont hesitate to work hard at making your family bonds as strong as possible.

Chinese feng shui places a lot of emphasis on color use, both in homes and other environments. You should be careful not to fall for myth and folklore when dealing with this aspect. There is no basis for a front red door being lucky or that certain colors bring wealth when liberally used in a certain room.

Colors in rooms and home areas are just used to create moods. Dark colors will calm and soothe and bright colors will create a feeling of energy.

In these few ways, you can see how Chinese feng shui can add positive energy and vitality in your own life.
