I am going to exercise my bragging rights and mention that Alex Stark, who is quoted in the article, is one of my Feng Shui (and shamanic) instructors from my days as a student.
If you want to change your life around, Feng Shui is a very good way to go. It taps into universal Chi and creates a connection between us and the benevolent energies that are there to help us. When you do Feng Shui you awaken those forces for good to pay attention. It's an organic alchemy. (Intro to Feng Shui) -S.C.-

THE crystals have been buried, and the mirrors are so completely
embedded in the building surface that they are barely visible. Yet they
and other features often associated with the practice of feng shui are
being incorporated into the design of several buildings going up along New Jersey’s Hudson waterfront.
Respect has grown apace with the understanding of feng shui, a
traditional Chinese discipline of aligning buildings and interiors in a
way that will produce harmony and success for their inhabitants. It is
even starting to find a critical mass of converts among developers,
architects and designers in places like New Jersey’s “gold coast.”
Beyond being a valuable marketing tool in an area with a sizable
Asian-American population, professionals in these fields say, it is
proving especially useful when linked to smart design and eco-friendly
living.
“Even if you’re not familiar with the history of feng shui, or don’t
care about the energy and spirituality of feng shui, we’ve learned that
it’s a very thoughtful approach to great design,” said Lisa DeLove, the
interior design director for the Roseland Property Company. “There’s a subconscious rhyme and reason of why a space works, whether you feel good in this space or not.”
