Feng shui is a system of creating harmonious balance between the elements of heaven and earth in a given house, room, commercial establishments and other public and private places and structures. Creating a balance of the elements means making all the aspects in the place positive. For business establishments it means financial growth, more customers, maximum productivity and efficiency and freedom from legal encumbrances. In homes, feng shui can make all the members of the family successful, live harmoniously and happily, healthy and financially stable.

Feng shui is an ancient Chinese practice. Many of the Chinese homes and establishments are designed to achieve the right balance of the elements. Today however, this system of creating balance is also being practiced in many western countries. And its increasing popularity over the years proved its effectiveness. The problem however with many western residences and structures is that the buyers generally buy already constructed homes and establishments. These were then constructed without consulting the feng shui system. For these homes and establishments the only way to achieve the balance of the elements without doing major renovation is to place the different feng shui enhancements around the house. Feng shui enhancements are items that create the balance among the five elements. These elements are fire, water, wind, wood, metal and earth. There are feng shui enhancements for any of the elements.

Feng shui enhancements are items that can be placed in a room or space to create the balance among the five elements, such as coin for metal and fountain for water. The important thing to remember when choosing an enhancement is the balance. There is no need therefore to purchase as many items as one can get. One or two items are enough in a given place if it lacks that element. For example, putting a fountain where water element should be is enough. There is no need to add an aquarium and a pond. Another important thing to remember is that although there are really expensive feng shui elements in the market today, one can also find small inexpensive feng shui elements. Practicing feng shui is not as expensive as what many believe. One can buy the small Chinese feng shui coins, a water dragon figurine or even feng shui pillow. One need not spend more than ten dollars on all these items. One can therefore purchase enough items that are not expensive.
