What Is Feng Shui?

Feng Shui is pronounced (Fung schway). It is a word in Mandarin and Feng Shui literally means Wind (Feng) and Water (Shui). Its origins date back several thousand years to ancient China.

Feng Shui is the ancient art of placement - this practice of balancing and correcting the effects of certain Chi' will bring benefits to the relationship between yourself and your family, your career or wealth status and the state of your most important asset - your Health.

Good Feng Shui can be achieved by positioning furniture, fixtures, etc in their appropriate places. It can be as simple as placing a couch in the best location in your living room or as complex as placing your house in the best location on your property. Keep in mind that lucky objects are believed to attract good fortunes in all aspects of life, there are other items that may reverse your luck if inadvertently placed. Feng Shui does not contradict any religious, cultural or traditional beliefs, as Feng Shui is the science of bringing together mankind and the environment in which we strive to find peace and harmony.

There are many different fields of expertise and schools for thought. We recommend that you seek out a reputable qualified Feng Shui Consultant/Practitioner or read the many good books available and enter into the fascinating but never boring world of Feng Shui.
