Feng Shui

Feng Shui. It's one of those phrases with a lot of connotations - some true, some hype. I believe people are affected by their environment. The colors of the walls, the objects, the shapes of the furniture. All of the things around you affect your mood, though you may not even realize it.

Though I haven't gotten very involved in the philosophy, a lot of Feng Shui concepts do seem to work for me - color choices, furniture placement, minimizing clutter, etc.
