Feng Shui Basics

Let's start with some Feng Shui basics here. For several centuries, Chinese emperors had been using Feng Shui to achieve their power, prosperity, health and harmony. To strengthen the emperor's power, Feng Shui was kept a secret to the commoners and only elite persons got access to these doctrines.

Today, Feng Shui has been recognized as an art of placement - using precise placement of furniture and belongings or symbolic objects to remove barriers to the free flow of life energy (known as Chi to the Chinese). As a result, you can tap into the beneficial, positive Chi energy to the maximum, and disperse, disrupt or remove negative energy.

Ancient Chinese believe that the first 5 key life factors for success are:

- Fate or Destiny,
- Luck,
- Feng Shui,
- Accumulating good deeds,
- Education

As we know, most of us are not borne with good life factors. While we have little control over our fate and luck, we have the opportunity to adjust and improve our Feng Shui. In doing so, we can improve our luck and nudge our fate toward a more propitious course.

Yin Yang Feng Shui links and interacts with the balancing feminine and masculine characteristics of Yin and Yang - the polar opposites of all existence. Yin is the feminine element and Yang is the masculine element. When they blend together to create balance, harmony reigns.

Chi Energy Feng Shui literally means 'wind and water', and these are the two most significant features in the art. Chi moves on the winds, while water nourishes the soil. Mountains offer a vantage point and shelter from harsh winds, and these also play an important role. Chi energy is positive when allowed to flow freely, negative when left to stagnate in nooks and crannies, and harmful when channelled too quickly along straight paths.
