FENG SHUI EXPLAINED

Feng Shui represents the principles of arranging your environment, your home and office, so that you are at peace and harmony with yourself and the universe. This will enable one to balance the Chi – the universal life energy force that surrounds all of us, to obtain good health, confidence, happiness, and the vitality and drive to achieve success in life.

What are the origins of Feng Shui?

Feng Shui, often referred to as the Chinese art of placement and harmony within buildings and landscape, is, in fact, an oriental based science. Traditional Chinese Feng Shui which in reality is the only true and authentic practice of Feng Shui, is a highly complex medical science based on Daoist Philosophy, originally expressed in the Yi Qing, which is one of the world’s oldest books outlining the philosophy of the origin and nature of life on Earth.

Effectively, the practice of Feng Shui balances and harmonizes energy (traditionally known as “Qi”/”Chi” in Chinese) within buildings and landscapes. When used properly, it can have the most powerful effect on people’s lives, in both homes and businesses.

Of course, apart from dealing with medical problems, using Feng Shui can improve overall health, finances, psychological and emotional problems, and relationships in general.

The name ‘Feng Shui’ is derived from two Chinese characters — Feng (meaning wind) and Shui (meaning water). Both singularly and together the words can be applied to the location of premises, geomantic omen, human resources and human blood.

Feng Shui is a unique centuries old Chinese Art that reveals the scientific achievement based on an analytical and meticulous system of observation and experimentation of this life energy force. This science of Feng Shui is not related to any religious, and thus should be applicable to all concerned.

 Feng Shui revolves within the concept of Yin and Yang, that nothing exists in separation from the rest of the universe. At simple level they are the negative and positive, the female and male, the night and day, the sour and sweet, the low and high, the cold and hot, the water and fire.

In a Yin there is always a Yang,

and in a Yang,

there is always a Yin.

And within the Feng Shui fundamental, evolves around the interactions of "The Theory of the Five Elements" – fire, earth, metal, water & wood and that all Beings in this Universe are influence by these Five Elements.

Alongside the principles of the five elements are the related formula of the "Pa-Kua Trigrams" and the "Lo-Shu Grid", which forms the basis of Feng Shui - Wind and Water.

Balance
Perhaps the most important aspect of Feng Shui is balance. Both Ying and Yang must be present if you are to create harmony.
