Feng Shui Feng shui is the study of how humans interact with their environment. The aim is to create environments where the people living and working there can best succeed. Feng shui is based on the idea that people react to their environment and this can affect their emo=ons, mood and thoughts. We might for example feel different in a cathedral compared to a café. In the experience of feng shui people respond to colours, shapes, sizes of spaces, plants, flowers, views of nature, ligh=ng, art, materials and imagery. In Congleton the aim of using feng shui is to create an atmosphere that is posi=ve and sa=sfying to live and work in as well as likely to aFract new people to the town.
