Today, more than one in three Hong Kongers is convinced that Feng Shui, this 4,000-year-old geomantic method, works miracles. And no hotel would do without the services of a master who, at Chinese New Year, comes to rebalance the elements wind (feng) and water (shui), as well as earth, wood, fire and metal.<\/p>\n<div>\"Feng Shui is a formidable means of increasing productivity\", explains master Alex Yu, emphasising that it is not a religion, but a quasi-mathematical tool. This is why it is not uncommon to see a pair of male and female lion statues - the yin and yang energies - standing guard at the entrance to palaces and major banks. In Hong Kong, the most Feng Shui building is the HSBC bank headquarters, protected by a hill at the back - the \"protective dragon\" - and by tall buildings to the left and right, symbolising yin and yang. In front, Victoria Harbour represents the element of water, necessary for fluidity and the circulation of goods.  The use of Feng Shui in business is also said to have multiple benefits: more efficient employees, harmonious relationships, increased profits. Many companies also 'fengshui' their executive offices. Here are a few basic principles: tidy up your desk, get a high-backed chair (hill or dragon) to protect your neck from harmful influences. Avoid sitting with your back to a door. A wall is preferable. Feng Shui oblige!<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"seriesmeta\">Article 3 of 2 in this dossier <a
