A lot of those in the engineering and design fields these days are giving some thought to feng shui, which dates to antiquity and concerns the placement of furniture within a home or office, even the placement of buildings themselves to encourage the positive flow of energy. So why is feng shui making such a comeback and more importantly, why now?

The scope of Feng Shui is much more than that of an art; however it is generally termed as such. Feng Shui has no stringent guidelines and there are no strict rules and regulations. There is a lot of space for interpretation and improvisation like art.

However, there are also a lot of scientific principles involved in this practice as well. For example, interior rooms are encouraged to be as clutter-free as possible so as to not block the natural flow of energy. Designers and interior decorators always encourage their clients to keep their room neat and orderly, as clutter can bring about feelings of depression, frustration, and can stifle ones creativity.

In Feng Shui, a lot of stress is given on the right color use. For example, it is said that you should use bright colors such orange and yellow in rooms where maximum energy is required (kitchen and dining room can be example). Warmer colors like browns and greens can be uses in places of comfort like the bedroom and the loving room, where you need to feel cozy and protected.

Researchers are now convinced that color can really affect the moods of a person. Brilliant and bold colors can cause feelings of enthusiasm and happiness while dark dull colors can plummet you to the depth of depression. Feng Shui does not boast of extensive research; however it is still quite amazing how it has still promoted these ideas even centuries before scientists realized them.

Feng Shui is finding more acceptance amongst people these days since everyone wants maximum energy in their lives. Most people multi-task, are quite busy in their lives and hence are quite stressed out. Most people want something that can add a zing to their lives and give them a zest for living. Nowadays, with its soaring popularity Feng Shui is a hot choice to brighten up your life and add a spring in your step.

When all is said and done, Feng Shui has no harmful side effects. After all, what side effect can cleaning your clutter or trying a different shade of paint on the wall have? It can only be happiness! Hence there is no harm in trying out Feng Shui.

Feng shui is not going anywhere and seems to be gaining popularity with each passing year. The practice has made its way from its ancient origins into our modern homes; and perhaps its time more of us welcomed it in.
