FENG SHUI and SUSTAINABILITY -  FENG SHUI for your SUSTAINABLE LIFESTYLE   -

EMBRACE . EDUCATE . GUIDE . TRANSFORM


GreenTone Environmental Design Rockford, Illinois........Implementing Feng Shui principles into your lifestyle not only helps the environment, but also it can help the mind of those using the spaces.  Incorporating the use of recycled and or natural, renewable materials, but incorporating the ancient Oriental art of Feng Shui, as well.  These two principles applied together not only help the environment, but promote positive "chi" or energy that can benefit the user in more ways than one.  The use of thse materials in itself is beneficial in that they save the environment from being covered with trash, along with impeding the depletion of natural resources.  Feng Shui is beneficial in that it uses natural elements/materials and compass coordinates to promote positive chi (energy) within a space, which in turn promotes successful business practices, and overall positive personal mind, body, and soul.

Sustainablitlity has similar effects on a person's quality of life, in that it is bound by health and aesthetic benefits.  Natural light and ventilation , good indoor air quality, and the overall uses of sustainable products and principles, creates an atmosphere which occupants are happier, healthier, and more productive....all major attributes of Feng Shui. Sustainable buildings not only resonate positive effects on those that work or live in them, but that they will grow in value over time, due to out-performing traditional buildings with energy savings and workers productivity. The connecting of building and user "to the rhythms of nature and greater cosmos" through sustainable products and principles gives a true spirituality to the architecture. This gives the building or space a soul, which becomes a place of "intangible feeling made up of so many things. The idea of "en-souling a building" by means of sustainable products is a universal approach to the ancient practices of Feng Shui.

My conscious efforts as a Green Designer to educate a client can be the determining factor in their choice to add sustainable principles into a project. These decisions not only benefit the Earth, but the mind, body, and soul of those that use the space. Sustainability adds spirituality to a space, which in turn give the space a soul, creating a modern spin on the practices of Feng Shui. Overall, the long term effects of sustainability not only have impact on ones's well being, but their bank accounts as well. What other modern practices can create peaceful, healthy environements while increasing the actual value of the building.....but sustainability?? The incorporation of sustainable elements means a healthy mind and environment, while Feng Shui practices mean a healthy mind by the use of the actual ENVIRONMENT. Be sustainable TODAY.
