Translated Feng Shui means “wind and water”. These two elements are essential for energy or qi to circulate in our environment. Feng Shui is also about creating positive energies in the workspace and at home. Elaine says using the principles of Feng Shui, we balance and harmonise these forces. Once this balance is achieved, we have a much improved space to live and work in. 25 February 2013
