What is Feng Shui?
Feng Shui, which literally means “wind-water,” is an ancient Chinese system of aesthetics believed to use the laws heaven and earth (astronomy and geography) to help one improve life by receiving positive “chi” or energy flow.
This ancient art of placement promotes balance, harmony and stability in the places where we live and work.
The Bagua or “eight areas” in Chinese, is the Feng Shui energy map that offers a systematic way to evaluate the energy field of the environment.
Feng Shui has been called the Chinese “Art of Placement,” that balances the life energies, or chi, in a living space. Using simple “cures,” it increases the flow of positive chi and subdues the negative flow. And according to the theory of Feng Shui, harmonizing our personal chi with the chi in the environment puts us in harmony with the natural forces of nature and, in turn, results in a healthy, happy and prosperous life. When the chi circulates properly, we experience a feeling of well-being while good health and prosperity are increased in our lives.
