The most important things that fengshui adjusts are shortcomings in the five elements [fire, air, water, metal and earth--Ed.] in a residence. It uses unique solutions to make a comprehensive adjustment. At best, it can make up for inherent shortcomings in your residence, and change bad things into good. It allows people to enjoy the coziness of their living environment. Plus, it can make your business more prosperous. If small changes can bring you so many good things, what's the harm?
