Harnessing Your Chi

Some people do yoga. Others meditate. Feng shui is being incorporated into interior designers’ vocab. However you’re choosing to harness your chi, know that you’re in good company. It seems more and more people are hopping on the “energy flow-increasing” bandwagon, and that got me thinking, “Is there a place for this in the retail environment?”

As one McDonald’s franchise in Hacienda Heights, California is finding out, there might be. Through incorporating the basic principles of feng shui in its remodeled interior, the restaurant (which happens to be located near a Buddhist temple) is hoping to promote happiness and fortune amongst its patrons. But it sounds like the restaurant’s owners are also finding fortune for themselves with the modern interior attracting more new and repeat customers.

Interested in bringing feng shui into your space? For the do-it-yourselfer, I found plenty of reading material and how-tos online. Not quite confident in your feng shui abilities? Worry not because more and more designers are specializing in this ancient Chinese practice.
