If pretty is as pretty does, the peony could be valued for more than its looks by those who want to look beyond the petals.

The peony has long been the subject of symbolism, with the ancient Greeks seeing it as a physician saved from mortality by being changed into this long-lived perennial.

In the Asian garden, peonies paired with stone lions guarding an entryway, are the Yin-Yang counterparts of strength  balanced by delicate beauty.

It is said that if you place peony seeds under your pillow, you won’t have any nightmares. The peopny has a place in Feng Shui, the ancient Chinese art of using the laws of heaven and earth to create good vibes in your surroundings.

We all work hard day and night to bring all comforts for our family, promotions in office and establishing peace and harmony in our lives.

Do you feel depressed very often, or are you going through a bad patch in your career inspite of giving your best perfomance? The solutions to all these problems could be found in Feng Shui.

Feng Shui, which means wind and water, is an ancient Chinese study of the environment. It teaches us how to create harmony and balance around us with the help of two forces - Yin (female essence) and Yang (Male essence). It is when these two interact that the Universal life force CHI is liberated.

CHI is the energy that connects people with their environment and can bestow health, happiness and prosperity. It is present everywhere in abundance including our body. When CHI is inside a home, building or a person, it remains there for sometime, and it is this energy that helps you achieve what you want.

I've read that the ancient Chinese art of feng shui can bring a sense of peace, well-being and positive energy to a home -- same as beer. Curious, I arranged to have dinner with a feng shui master so I could interview him and write off the meal on my taxes. (He ordered a beer!)

A serious, prepared-for-anything journalist, I took careful notes on a dinner napkin with the pen I borrowed from the waitress. Unfortunately, I left the napkin on the table, but I think I remember enough from talking to what's-his-name to provide a thorough report on the whole subject.

First, feng shui literally means "fire and water," and was invented 6,000 years ago by the Chinese, who prior to that called it "ouch and wet." It is the scientific balance between the invisible green dragon and the invisible white tiger, and feng-shui masters get really irritated if you ask them how an invisible dragon can be green.
