What Is Feng Shui?

Feng Shui (pronounced fung shway) is an ancient Chinese practice that involves art and science. It has been around for thousands of years. The practice utilizes the laws of heaven and earth to help people balance their energies within a space. This is to help them receive good fortune and health.

The word “feng” means wind and “shui” means water. Therefore Feng Shui means “wind water”. The local Chinese people place wind that is gentle and water that is clear in one setting. It is intended to represent good health and harvest.

The art of Feng Shui is based on the belief that the land includes Chi. Chi represents life-force energy. Back in ancient times, the local Chinese people claimed that the energy of the land was either good or bad.

They represent quality in regard to correspondences which are found in most areas of Chinese science and philosophy. An example of this would be ancient Chinese medicine.
