Feng Shui is the ancient Chinese art of organizing your space in order to create harmony in your life. Basically, it is the idea that by clearing your space you will make it possible for the Chi or energy to flow more smoothly around you and the objects in your room thus creating less resistance. Feng Shui has been around for centuries and while it may seem like hocus pocus, through my own experience with it and the experience of others, there is plenty of evidence that it works. And it can work for you to help increase your writing productivity.

Here are five tips for working the practice of Feng Shui into your life gradually.

So when space and time cease to exist for us, our consciousness still exists outside these ideastools. The theory posits that our consciousness can in fact never die, but will always exist. It also posits that consciousness can be anywhere because it continues on separate from time and space.

Quantum theory also supports the concept of a multi-verse, meaning a universe with multiple other universes contained within it. This is where the idea of parallel worlds came from. So, if we accept the idea …
