Interesting to read, but please don't spend any $$ on it or make decisions that hamper your lifestyle based on it.

Penn & Teller did an episode of their "Bull#####" show on this. They called in 3 highly paid feng shui experts to arrange the exact same house for a family. They ended up with 3 different arrangements (it's supposed to be a "science" with consistent results), and even contradictions such as one telling the family that the red couch was perfect, and another telling them they had to get rid of it! Doesn't disprove it of course, but then again I've never seen anything to prove it either.

I'd suggest trying to find proper research and studies that prove feng shui is actually effective (or even that the concept of chi is valid) before putting resources towards implementing it.
