MARITES ALLEN
Colors, Shape
& Elements
Marites Allen, who has made feng shui her life's
work and credits her triumphs over early personal
adversity and achieving financial and personal success
to this living skill, is a living testimony to the attraction
of this ancient Chinese practice to all nationalities
and economic classes. In the Philippines, feng shui
continues to gain adherents.
Marites is a certified feng shui expert and President
& CEO of "The World Of Feng Shui" boutique in Manila.
She explains that feng shui is the ancient Chinese art
of manipulating and arranging one's surroundings
to attract positive life energy, or chi, so that it flows
smoothly, unblocking any obstructions in the body and
the environment. Literally meaning "wind and water,"
origins date back several thousand years. Feng shui
has evolved from the theory that people are affected
by their surroundings.
