2- Choose a wood table. Tables made from wood do not speed up Chi energy. To
increase Yin energy, soft woods such as elm or pine are the best choice for
relaxed family meals. For formal dinners, use tables made from dark woods such
as oak, teak and mahogany.

sitting in the odd chair isnʼt left out of the conversation.

orange, burgundy, yellow, brown and cream are more conducive to the nourishing
