Practitioners of the ancient Chinese art of Feng Shui believe that the spirit or atmosphere of a place influences our physical, psychological and emotional health. Feng Shui masters are sensitive to the essence of things, and they manipulate, combine and blend the parts of living and working spaces to enhance their influence on people.

Natural process is like a Feng Shui master, arranging all of the elements in the house of Nature in the most harmonious way. In places such as Yellowstone and Everglades national parks, nature has woven complex fabrics of living organisms and physical environments. In those large ecosystems—and smaller ones too—there are shapes hard and soft, large and small; networks of lines crossing lines; angles folded upon angles; circles within circles; a full spectrum of colors. These elements form the basic pattern of natural order that Zen philosophers refer to as Li.
