An explanation of Feng Shui

Feng Shui is the practice of planning and design using the forces of Energy (also called Qi) that surround us in the environment.

In nature, Energy is directed, collected, contained and dissipated by forms such as mountains, valleys, and bodies of water.

In a city, buildings, roads, landscaping and other man-made constructions influence the flow of energy.

Within a building, Feng Shui is represented by interior forms such as corridors, rooms and furnishings. (From Alliance Feng Shui)

 Commentary: This knowledge has been accumulated by the Chinese over centuries since the start of their civilisation some 4,000 years ago. This has evolved over the ages and kept pace with modern times.

The central tenet of Feng Shui is the flow of Energy in the Environment. The key to successful Feng Shui is for the city or property to accumulate this Energy with the minimum of loss.

 Feng Shui can be a very effective tool in helping people create harmonious working and living environments. This can also bring about other changes for the better as a consequence. It helps develop wealth, health and happiness. Feng Shui is not magic, neither spiritual nor religious. It is the understanding of the movement of Energy on the surface of the Earth.
