Since ancient times, the Chinese discovered the impact of the energy from the surroundings on the inner well-being of people. That knowledge is now applied to all spaces: homes, offices, buildings, gardens, etc; spaces where people would dwell, work, interact. The whole “science” goes much further, even to tell us how all that can influence our wealth, our health, or even our love life. Moreover, from the complicated structural designs of buildings, based on their “magnetism”, to the simplicity of the sitting arrangement around a meeting table, based on the location of windows and main door of the room.

People may believe that at various degrees, some more than others. But for sure, we all realize and experiment what make us “more comfortable” and “relaxed”. We can acknowledge that one specific surrounding, or environment, “suits” us better than another. Myself, for example, I feel good when I am surrounded by mountains, but stressed or uneasy if it is by water. If those are together, I just focus on what suits me, like looking at the banner picture, for whatever impressive the Angel Falls are, my sight is on the Auyán-tepui.

Some people may feel good when in contact with animals while others when surrounded by flowers; some others need the vibrancy of the city while others the peacefulness of the countryside. Or when visiting a museum, or when sitting on a bench at the town square, looking at people pass by. Have you tried the holiness of a church?

Yes, it may depend on where we grew up, our background, parents or friends’ influence, our childhood experiences… many things. But it all comes to a point when we are crystal clear and born sure of what really gives us peace and joy, comfort and easiness.

Do you know exactly what that is for you? Then, go for it! Not only you will enjoy life even more but also you will find yourself in fertile soil to grow and develop your virtues!
