Feng Shui
The Art of Feng Shui involves the placement of sacred objects
in relationship to our surroundings - in particular our home and business. In Asia, a Feng Shui Master will even
be consulted by the Architect in the planning of the relationships of rooms, doorways and windows to themselves
and the forces of nature. It is truly believed that the proper, or improper, positioning and association of all
these elements will have a dramatic impact on your life. Here we offer the sacred objects with their meanings for
your own Feng Shui collection.
