<p>More commonly known as the Happy Buddha or Laughing Buddha, Hotei was a monk of the T&#8217;ang Dynasty, recognized for the sack of candy he carried and shared with small children.  He is a figure of Chinese folklore, and one of the Seven Gods of Fortune representing abundance and good health.  He is also thought to be a bodhisattva, one who has dedicated himself to the path of enlightenment like Buddha, or a Maitreya, a future Buddha-like figure who will appear on Earth, achieve enlightenment and teach the Dharma.</p>
<p>The true Buddha began his path to enlightenment after seeing a infirm old man begging and learned of suffering and decided to embrace asceticism. His journey of contemplation eventually brought him to a sacred fig tree where he paused in meditation.  It was there that he attained Bodhi, a perfect state of illumination. From that moment forward, he was Buddha who took to the countryside and preached for 44 years what was to become one of the primary religions of the world until his death at age 80.</p>
<p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.bigbuddhastatues.com/laughing-buddha-statues.html" target="_blank">Laughing Buddha statues</a> are frequent Asian decor accent found in business and restaurants because he is the deity of contentment and prosperity. This Buddhist icon is most often seen with a sack in tow, filled with candy for children and gifts of food for the less fortunate. Much like Catholicism&#8217;s St. Nicholas, Hotai is the patron saint of children, the suffering and the downtrodden.</p>
<p>A laughing Buddha statue portrays a corpulent, bald man whose ample gut can be seen through his sagging robes. While Ho Tai could definitely benefit from a few stomach crunches, his ample belly is symbolic of good luck and wealth. Along with his jolly middle and pleasant smile the Ho  Tai nearly always carries bent, wooden walking stick in one hand and his bag of goodies in the other. The Happy Buddha is most often portrayed as a statue in either a reclined, standing or sitting position. The reclined position most likely originates from the &#8220;sleeping Buddha position,&#8221; one that reflects the Buddha&#8217;s last moments on Earth before he was delivered to Nirvana.</p>
<p>Most often, the happy Buddha Statues are displayed in the home as a talisman of plenitude. Many Ho Tai statues portray the cheerful patron holding gold ingots in his hands while sitting atop a mountain of gold coins. It&#8217;s also not unusual to see the Buddha sitting atop a Dragon throne. The Dragon is a icon of security and virility in Asian culture. Other symbolic elements often seen in sculptures and statues of the happy Buddha include a rosary necklace symbolic of prayer, a pauper&#8217;s bowl representing the laughing Buddha’s lack of worldly possessions or an oogi. The oogi is a Chinese &#8220;wish giving&#8221; fan used in the past by Chinese aristocracy as an affectation to guarantee that their wishes would be granted.</p>
<p>In western culture, the happy Buddha is thought of as  the <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.bigbuddhastatue.com/laughing-buddha-statues.html" target="_blank">fat Buddha</a>. As a chubby, smiling man who often travels sharing candies and presents to children, Ho Tai most closely matches what Westerners think of as Jolly St. Nick. However, his offerings and blessings can be enjoyed all year. Many believe if you rub the belly of a happy Buddha you are sure to enjoy good fortune and financial success.</p>
<p>Happy Buddha is also considered a patron of restaurateurs and bartenders and is often seen in Chinese and Japanese restaurants. Overindulgence in food and drink are often credited to the influence of the laughing Buddha.</p>

<p>Many people are fascinated with Feng Shui and with many good reasons. While others generally believe that it is just some oriental superstitious set of paradigms on interior design (but that is just part of the extensive definition for Feng Shui), the Feng Shui that we know now is actually comprised of various schools of learning and incorporates the different cultures under which it is housed.</p>
<p>A primary benefit to the varying options available in Feng Shui is that even beginners can grasp and apply it&#8217;s methods with ease in their homes without having to blow the budget. Additionally, there are advantages unique to Feng Shui that can be incorporated if you&#8217;re willing to learn with an open mind and willing hands.</p>
<p>Bringing balance is the key.  Have you ever found yourself completely overwhelmed with unending junk and completely stressed out of your mind? It&#8217;s likely that you are suffering from a visual imbalance in your surroundings. The best way to infuse a sense of balance is by bringing together elements that provide you with a grip of control in the outer balance of things. If you can create some semblance of balance harmony in trivial things like your furniture, you are sure to find that creating balance in other aspects of your life equally manageable.</p>
<p>It helps you to focus on the details.  Mindfulness in the small things can be a very good thing. Many people tend to focus on the large things in life so much that even the minor details like how you arrange your home or office seem to be lost. When these &#8220;minor&#8221; aspects of life continually get put on the back burner they tend to build up and produce a stressful environment which will accumulate into other problems complicating your life.</p>
<p>Feng Shui can open up possibilities of meeting new people.  Meeting new people is another bonus of being a Feng Shui enthusiast. When you are applying Feng Shui, chances are, you will be able to find another person within your social network who likes the same stuff and can even help you expand your knowledge on Feng Shui, no matter how limited it is to begin with.</p>
<p>Feng Shui brings a fresh perspective.  At any given moment, a fresh perspective is certainly welcome. This positive new angle can invite positive changes. A paradigm shift in home arrangement, for example, will serve to benefit you over the long haul. The fresh perspective created by Feng Shui will actually foster enrichment of one&#8217;s thoughts and mind.</p>
<p>Inviting prosperity and abundance.  The main goal of Feng Shui is to invite all the good into your life. Prosperity and abundance can be more easily within your grasp and a positive outlook can be expected if Feng Shui is practiced properly.</p>
<p>Increased aesthetic appeal.  Beyond all the listed benefits of Feng Shui, the top would surely be its natural beauty. The aesthetic appeal of a properly decorated and organized home, incorporated with good Feng Shui technique, can be a legacy that may transcend generations and promote beauty in all other aspects of your life.</p>

<p>Have this ever happened to you? Do you have thoughts of improving your home but you don&#8217;t really know where to start or what to look out for? In order to improve your home, you must know what exactly you want to achieve. Home improvement can do wonders. If you don&#8217;t believe me, why don&#8217;t you read on to find out more about home improvement?</p>
<p>When you finally reach home after that long day at work, do you feel relaxed and at ease when you reach home? If your answer is no, home improvement may just be the answer for you. How do you change it around? With the help of Feng Shui, of course!</p>
<p>What is Feng Shui all about? Feng Shui actually toyed with the idea of having everything connected to one another, somehow and someway. It is about the movement of energy that always moves around in the house and achieving balance of the energy is the main objective. The location of your house and direction of where your house points to affects the Feng Shui of your house.</p>
<p>You should consider home improvement if your home does not help you to relax or calm you down. You should also consider home improvement if your home feels too stuffy and hot or even if you want to improve your life such as your own personal love life. Feng Shui will do the trick. The following are some ways you can do to improve your life with using Feng Shui.</p>
<p>By adding wind chimes to your home, it could actually stop the energy from stagnating and your life could be improved fairly easily just like that! It is always advisable to use metal wind chimes as they are hollow and will create noise. Anything that has or with a sharp corner is considered as bad, you can put plants around to soften the corners. Always sit facing away from the walls and you should never sit with your back facing the window, best if you could sit facing towards the door.</p>
<p>Using fresh flowers will not only improve Feng Shui but also your love life! The fresh flowers should be placed near a west facing window. Energy level can also be improved with the help of a crystal in the room. The whole house should be kept clean at all times, particularly your home entrance.</p>
<p>Another great way to improve the energy levels in your home is to use mirrors but you cannot add them anywhere you desire. Adding mirrors are tricky because you have to be very cautious about what exactly is being reflected. You have to make sure that every room is being used otherwise stagnant energy can start to build up.</p>
<p>Now that you know have learnt more about home improvement and how home improvement can make a difference in your life, I suggest that you put the techniques into action now!</p>

<p>Form and function has always been very important to our society.  Even before electricity, running water and gas powered vehicles, our instinctive nature for creating items to sustain our basic needs with the best possible results, has been unequaled to any other species in our world.  However, the need to be the biggest and the best in our endeavors is taking a toll on what once seemed an endless supply of wood from forests and natural resources that we use for plastics in our insatiable hunger for the most current of modern furniture.</p>
<p>An eight year young company based in Los Angeles started out as a mass producer of limited-edition furniture but had the foresight to realize that we are living in a world of waste.  This prompted Orange22 to think about introducing a new form of unique furnishings, stamped with the mark of international artists and designers and benefiting the world at the same time.  Protecting our natural resources and helping mankind is what Blank Canvas Project is all about.</p>
<p>The staff of Orange22 is dedicated to using only earth friendly materials in their designs in an effort to conform society into realizing that it is not necessary to destroy the earth to present beauty in designs.  In addition to creating awesome one of a kind masterpieces, this group has yet another goal.  The need for helping mankind with such problems as cancer, AIDS, and education are but a few of the areas where worldwide artists of today are leading.</p>
<p>To date, Orange22 has created an initial line of Botanist furniture, known as the Botanist Blank Canvas Project.  A dynamic team of designers were hand picked by Dario Antonioni, Founder and Creative Director of Orange22, to leave their artistic mark on three pieces of furniture, a bench, coffee table and end table of the Blank Canvas Series.  Each designer, together with Orange22, donates a portion of the royalty to a charity or foundation of their choice.</p>
<p>Such recognized names as Massimo and Lella Vignelli, Milton Glaser and Clause Zellweger leave their individualized signature on each piece offered.  Owning a work of art by these greats is not only desirable but functional, as well.  Sturdy, lightweight, and environmentally friendly, the bench, coffee table or end table can grace a furniture grouping or stand alone in any home or office.</p>
<p>Dario hopes that his doctrine of utilizing collaboration to create positive change will resonate beyond the design community, modern furniture, and ultimately help to affect and inspire the greater global community.  Orange22 has plans for Botanist in the future, as well.  Antonioni is currently working on a book called A Decade of Botanist:  A Philanthropic Product, 80 designers and 80 foundations and how we&#8217;ve helped change the world.</p>

<p>Come back with me, dear ones, to Ancient China.  No, this has nothing to do with Kung Fu Panda, though it must be said as far as talking Panda kung fu movies go, it was pretty hilarious.  Did you know Dustin Hoffman does a voice in there?  Anyway, Id prefer, instead, to take you back 3,000 year to the first uses of an ancient Chinese art known as Feng Shui.    </p>
<p>Translated as wind water, Feng Shui is essentially a guide to arranging your stuff.  The working belief is that if you arranged your furniture around in just the right way, it will unlock blocked passages of energy that can affect your happiness, health, and wealth.  It was the wealth part that got you interested, right?  </p>
<p>Though its now a system of arranging stuff, the soul of Feng Shui is rooted in the belief that our lives are deeply affected by the things around us and the by thee spaces we live in.  Thats not so much of stretch, is it?  We are, after al, the byproducts of our environments, what is so preposterous about the notion that our environment continues to affect us everyday?  </p>
<p>The Western scientific community has dismiss Feng Shui as some kind of ancient magic system.  But the Chinese believe practicing it ensures good health, wealth, and a more fulfilling connection to other people and the environment.  This is all predicated on the Chinese belief in chi, or energy &#8221; literally is means air or breath.  They believe every object has a specific kind of chi. Therefore, you only want to have the kinds of objects in your home that have good chi. It is a delicately simple system. </p>
<p>The ardent study of Feng Shui requires a lifetime to fulfill.  From simple arrangement to the intricacies of the I Ching, there is more than can be learned by one person.  It is not just a study of the things in a space, but it requires understand the people requesting your services.  You must access their energy and listen to what kinds of energy they wish to attract.  Further studies will take you into Lunar Cycles, chi cleansing, and the Five Phases of being.  Heavy stuff for an art dismissed as little more than an ancient Chinese interior design course.</p>

<p>There are many benefits of meditation. These benefits includes bettering your relationships with your friends, family and spouse, to bettering your performance at your career. There are numerous reasons why meditation assists in these categories. The primary reason is that through meditation, you are taking control of how you think and allowing your body and mind to focus and relax. The riddding of stress often gives you the pellucidity of thought required to keep relationships stable, as well as keep your work from overwhelming you.</p>
<p>Many people get into meditation to reap the benefits of meditation on stress levels. Stress is moslty the number one cause of problems at home or at work. By lowering the levels of stress you feel, you are more capable of handling the problems that do arise. While meditation cannot prevent problems from happening, it can better prepare you to deal with them. As those who meditate tend to be better balanced and well rested, </p>
<p>A few other gains of meditation include the ability to better focus and think more clearly. The subject of meditation is studied fairly frequently, however the fact that meditating does so much to bolster the thought process is still a bit of mystery. There has been speculation that meditation helps you to excercise parts of the mind that are usually left lying in dormant. Through the continuous and greater use of your brain, you have better means to handle issues that may arise. As you are  exercising your mind while meditating, your mnemonic powers also improves, which assist in the ability to focus.</p>
<p>One of the less often considered benefits of meditation is the fact of putting your body into a state of tranquility. This rest can serve as effectively as a short nap, and in many ways, more effectively. As you put your mind and body into a state of rest by acts of of meditation, you have all of the benefits of sleep without a real sleep. This stamps out the groggy sensation that many people experience when they are first waking up after sleep.</p>
<p>numerous people can reap the gains of meditation wherever they are. Meditation can be undertaken anywhere, you can sit still and snub whatever is around you. This makes private offices, and even the commute to work, ideal places to meditate, especially if you take public transit or another form of meditation where you are not the driver.</p>

<p>make some changes. Your office or cubicle could be streaming with bad energies accumulated and empowered by the wrong use of space. Currently, office feng shui advice enjoys almost the same level of popularity as home feng shui. This practice of carefully arranging the space around us has been revered for thousands of years, and it unquestionably shows outcomes in its most contemporary of practical applications.</p>
<p>Feng shui design begins by identifying the power areas inside buildings because these are the spots with the best energetic support to be taken advantage of. The power areas vary from two relatives to another, being the sum of all the individual specificity of the people living in the house. Life facts are also only partly responsible for directing the flow of energy, sharing in the responsibility with the building architecture and the decoration of the living space. These entire elements equally need to beconsidered when planning a feng shui design pattern for your home or office.</p>
<p>The extent of the number and usage of feng shui items is unbelievably profound; therefore it&#8217;s understandable why so numerous people are in search of true love, fiscal security, good health and the fulfillment of personal dreams. What you should know is that feng shui items accumulate part of the energies and beliefs directed towards them. Thus, the strength of will, the intensity of a feeling and positive thinking work together with the nice objects we surround us with, in order that what we want can be realized. A proportionate harmonious life style will grow into light and fulfillment even more when feng shui practices are prudently used.</p>
<p>Thus, one office feng shui taboo refers to the command position. People who are decision makers must not stay in the farthest corner from the entrance, and should avoid placing themselves in the same line with the door, as they&#8217;d be just in the path of the negative energy. The great advice here is to have a corner or a wall at the back for support. Then, in case the back is towards a window, it would be perfect if there were a profound building on the other side, as it would have the same backing mountain-like position. Office feng shui also recommends that you don&#8217;t turn your back to the door when doing business, as you may turn your back to good fortune.</p>

<p>Many of the feng shui home tips are misinterpreted leading to incorrect applications. For instance, many people avoid putting their aquarium in the kitchen since they consider water will extinguish the fire element specific to this house area. Such a principle has to be understood symbolically, particularly since the presence of the water tank in the kitchen could increase the prosperity of the home. Another false feng shui home tip is that of never keeping books in the bedroom since they will stimulate you and prevent good sleep. False!</p>
<p>The feng shui home analysis further involves the careful investigation of the front and back structures as they are differentiated from houses. On the other hand apartments tend to follow the light source, looking towards windows, but the problem under such circumstances would be the entrance that is often dark because it&#8217;s located more towards the center of the building. Compensations do exist in the feng shui design of an apartment. You can attract more positive energy when you can make the choice of floor you want to live at, not to mention that the selection of the flat with the best view is one other top point to benefit from in terms of feng shui home arrangement.</p>
<p>In order to be able to design a positive feng shui bedroom, one needs to be able to comprehend and know how to trigger the ways that nourish the flow of sensual harmonious energy. A remarkable  feng shui bedroom is recognized by the type of sensations and emotions it generates: it has to be luring and exciting while still offering a feeling of calm and security. One has to feel comfortable in a feng shui bedroom regardless whether we are talking about an afternoon nap, a great night sleep or an incredible act of passionate love. Here are some of the most common tips and tools to be used for the design of an incredible feng shui bedroom. </p>
<p>Chinese jade feng shui items have the highest value on the market due to the precious nature of the gemstone that is superior to the jade extracted from Mexico, Russia or Turkey. If you acquire jade feng shui items online and you are interested in getting something authentic, then it is a good idea to ask for some form of certification. If the supplier cannot offer such an authenticity proof, you may consider another source. Just to make an idea of how expensive jade feng shui jewelry can be, consider the fact that some items go higher than a few thousand dollars.</p>
<p>Other colors feng shui relies on have the same complexity of interpretation. One could easily wonder why colors are so important to all traditions. The answer to this question is simple and deep if we think about the very essence of a color: they contain light to a higher or lower degree depending on the nature of the object they pertain to. Therefore, light, chi or life force become synonyms in the complex paradigm of the universe. Hence, the colors feng shui uses are vehicles for the chi and therefore they are able to influence moods, change fortune, improve health and so on.</p>
<p>Moreover, we have to acknowledge the trendy aspect of the feng shui tips. False values that do not take the essence of this practice into consideration but rather remain limited to the surface luster of apparent benefits are harmful by nature. Shallowness does not make a match with real feng shui; hence, do not make this practice a bombastic element of your life; the only thing that matters is what results from it. Understanding, analyzing, putting into practice and constantly learning, these are the ways to cultivate the spirit of feng shui in its authentic form.</p>

<p>Feng shui bedroom color equals defining the personal and private space. Half of our lives are spent inside the bedroom, which is why the importance of the right wall painting is so much spoken of. Colors define the mood and have their share of influence on the overall set of emotions one experiences during a day. How do you feel towards your bedroom? Do you consider it a retreat? Do you feel great when you wake up in the morning despite the thought of another very busy day. If the answer is not at all satisfactory, then, you could try feng shui bedroom color selection and redecorate everything according to your array of favorite colors.</p>
<p>One can determine whether the chi cycle is unbalanced in the home, and thus realize that the feng shui elements are not in accordance, by paying attention to the feelings he or she has in that particular place. Therefore, if you feel ill at ease, dissatisfied or distraught, nervous, depressed or dominated by other negative emotions like envy, jealousy, trepidation or emptiness, your home is definitely suffering from a chi imbalance. If the feng shui elements are harmoniously combined, then, you will feel fulfilled and in high spirits about the place.</p>
<p>Although we are far from finishing the list of feng shui products, we must not conclude without mentioning the space clearing ritual bell. Part of a Buddhist ritual, the sound of the bell has such a high vibration that evil spirits cannot withstand it and the negative energies are dissipated when rung. These feng shui products that have flooded the Western world too, are treated with respect and even revered in their mother country, China. Such values should also be primordial for the feng shui practitioner everywhere else.</p>
<p>The basis for feng shui is the wholesome understanding of nature and the taoist vision, both embracing the idea that everything is full of the life energy or light, called chi or qui (in Chinese) or ki (in Japanese). The basic factors that could influence a feng shui analysis of a location, person or situation include the five elements and the yin and yang rule. Feng shui is created on the ancient symbols present in I Ching, the ancient Chinese oracle. These symbols are used in the octagonal grid, the Ba-Gua, that aids you to understand or determine the different relations between the feng shui locations in the home or office and the various parts of your life.</p>
<p>Feng shui crystals store energy, however the properties and the specificity of this energy also depend on the nature of the crystals. Most feng shui crystals are naturally grown ones dug from the depths of earth; unlike the artificially created ones, they are the mineral elements to attract all the bounties onto you. For instance, rose quartz is known to attract great love and romantic feelings. It will also heal one who suffers from a love loss or disappointment. These feng shui crystals will thus work great in the south western corner of your bedroom. You can use two or more large feng shui crystals or lots of smaller ones placed in a bowl.</p>
<p>Feng shui crystals could be pretty expensive as the price increases with the size. Therefore, it is advisable that you research what kind of feng shui crystals you need for certain house corners before you invest a little fortune. A feng shui expert opinion could be necessary since knowledge about various crystals is not common to everybody. Moreover, purchase such items from reputable stores in order to be satisfied by the quality and avoid the possibility of getting a fake. Online catalogs could be attractive, but they do not a guarantee for the source.</p>

<p>Applied to a regular work cubicle, feng shui design could positively influence your life: there may be a better salary, a healthier body and a more rewarding personal life. Such accomplishments may seem too good to be true but they are the sheer and real consequence of the ancient art of energy &#8211; drawing space arrangement. The work surfaces are just as important as windows, entrance and corners for the optimal cubicle feng shui design. Though it may sound unbelievable to a newbie to the principles of feng shui, the very location of the waste basket and the position of the lighting fixtures have a word to say in how harmonious and fulfilled you are professionally and personally.</p>
<p>At the moment, cubicle feng shui redecorations have attained an incredible popularity in the United States and the Western countries in general. For business meetings and deals, feng shui could be ruining or enriching, depending on whether you benefit from the bounty of cubicle feng shui arrangement or not. Therefore, the first impression one makes when going into your  office will influence the business friendship in every way. Thus, focusing a good energy flow in the entrance area is crucial to the success of your business; this is the place where the energy enters the cubicle like a sanctuary and changes the visitor&#8217;s perception in a good way.</p>
<p>Cubicle feng shui design eliminates the clutter, creates more room and lets you breathe freely while allowing you to enjoy the hours you spend at work. The clutter alleviation is not positive only from a psychological point of view, as it also enhances the drop of meaningful energy in the space. Feng shui practitioners will often indicate the fact that a cluttered cubicle only makes you look for more things, and therefore elude tons of precious time. Then, there comes color, an aspect that must not be forgotten in the cubicle feng shui decorating. Choose colours that bring harmony and a salubrious feeling so that you may be able to work productively and efficiently.</p>
<p>Creativity also needs to be stimulated and you can achieve this by including some vibrant spot of color on the desk, on the walls or in a corner you lay the eyes on when working. Such aspects of cubicle feng shui design make the efficiency of work to significantly increase with minimal effort. You may consult a cubicle feng shui guidebook or manual so as to see how to integrate plants in the decorum too. Yet, do not consider the art of stimulating the natural chi in the environment as an elixir or solve &#8211; all solution. There will still be impediments and ups and downs to experience at work or at home, you just have to imbibe the lessons and steer on as harmoniously as possible.</p>
