What
is Feng Shui? |
 In
modern terms Feng Shui is an environmental science with
historical roots in ancient China during the Han Dinasty (200 BC-AD200).
Its origins lie in the observation of the signs of the
sky, the contour of the lands, spiritual belief and of
course, their effect on human life.
Classical Feng Shui is the study of the effects of
the environment and cosmic events on human nature, fortune
and destiny, using formulae related to time, space and
directions.
An analysis of the interaction of those elements and
their effects over the time is the focus of Feng Shui
- one of the areas of study in Chinese Metaphysics.
By harnessing the Chi and working with it at the right
time in the right place it can help to improve our lives.
You can harness the benefit of Chi to improve many
aspects of your life which we do by analysing the flow
of the Chi, then focussing on large and small objects
in your close or external environment in order to achieve
balance; prevent or avoid unfavorable circumstances;
and get the best of their present situation and their
future options.

| An accurate Chinese Compass |
The Chinese compass or Luo Pan is the main tool of
a Feng Shui consultant in calculating a building’s
location, magnetic orientations and environmental
influences. Then an analysis of the date of birth
of each person living or working in the building will
help determine how suitable the place or each room
for them is in a certain period of time.

| The Meaning of Chi |
In simple terms, Chi is the life force energy present
in all things in the universe. It is in constant flow,
even traveling through solid substances. The Chi of
the human body, the Earth, the Sun, buildings, plants,
water and animals are in constant interchange and
the Chi of each merges. Although individual Chi are
unique, they are connected; so you influence and are
influenced by Chi. In that way humans are part of
a subtle but infinite dynamic net of energy seen by
some philosophers and Easter religions as the “Cosmic
Dance”.

| Look for balance with Yin and
Yang |
 Yin
and Yang are the two primal opposite forces of Chi;
one can’t exist without the other.
The first principle in Feng Shui is to achieve harmony
and balance between the Yin and Yang through the flow
of Chi.
It has been applied to Chinese Philosophy, Science
and Medicine.
