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.

Of course, Chinese feng shui isn't like waving a magic wand. It won't cure all your ills or instantly make you rich. However, applying its principles to your life in general can offer a number of benefits. Here are just 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.

Its also true that the Asian cultures value hard work and applying ones self to your family and your career. Chinese feng shui encourages you to use your energy in these types of positive ways; by doing so, you will be only encouraging more positive energy in your life. Think about how that might apply in your own family.

Do you use your energy, resources and time to encourage strong family bonds? Do you see your family as deserving of your time and energy? Do you feel rewarded and happy when your family are in harmony and happy with one another? If you can understand and apply this Chinese feng shui principle that positive energy attracts more positive energy, you should work hard at strengthening your family bonds as much as you can.

There's also a lot of emphasis on how color affects mood and energy in your environment and in the home. However, be sure that you don't mistake myth and folk lore as strict rules. While certain colors can contribute to certain moods, a red front door isn't necessarily lucky, and some colors aren't more likely to make you wealthy.

However, when you used certain colors in particular areas of the home, you can create a desired mood. If you use a bright color, you'll feel more energized. Soft or dark colors are more likely to soothe you and make you more calm.

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