Stressed Out? Feng Shui Your Fish Bowl |
| Ara Conten |
(ARA) - Keeping fish is widely known to reduce stress and anxiety, and by investing in a biOrb fish bowl to keep them in, you're well on your way to transforming your home or office into a stylish space for you to enjoy in harmony. "The fish bowls not only add color and life to your home or office space, but they can also be the perfect balance of style and tranquillity", says Matt Stevenson, co-founder of Reef One, makers of biOrb.
In fact, feng shui -- the popular concept of creating harmony in life by adding or moving various home elements -- regards moving water and fish as very beneficial.
Paul Darby, a feng shui expert, has transformed the spaces of the rich and famous, including Sting and Kelly Brook. He offers the following tips for creating a serene environment using the natural beauty and calming quality that comes from watching fish swim.
* Clean, flowing, well-lit water with fish is the ultimate way of transforming bad energy – the biOrb is perfect for good feng shui, with its five-stage filtration system, bubbling water and low-voltage light.
* Black fish represent protection -- very handy to stave off the evil eye from your colleagues or loved ones. Goldfish are "baby dragons" in feng shui and considered very lucky.
* The Chinese word for fish, "yu", is the same as the word for success. If fish are placed in the office or home, it is believed good fortune will follow. Combine the fish with a biOrb with a blue or black lid and base to activate your career.
* A fish bowl on the left hand side of your front door (as you face it from inside) encourages good 'chi', the energy force that flows throughout the Universe. A biOrb in the east part of your living room/dining room/office with a green lid and base boosts energies of health and ambition.
* Three fish symbolise "yang" energy. The best combination is two goldfish (representing good luck and energy) and one black fish (representing protection).
* In feng shui, round objects help chi energy to curve around rooms and buildings.
