What is Feng Shui?
Feng Shui Feng shui is literally translated as 'wind and water' and is an method of how we conduct our lives. It origionally comes from China and has been practiced for three thousand years. Ultimately, Feng shui is about using our environment to benefit us. Ying and Yang
The Chinese also believe that the universe is shaped into two elements - ying and yang. There is always a flow between the two and everything contains various degrees of yin or yang. When they are balanced they perform perfect harmony but when one element is more dominant than the other then disharmony occurs.

Feng shui is the ancient Chinese practice of placement and arrangement of space which is claimed to achieve harmony with the environment. There is no scientific evidence, however, that it is effective, or anything but superstition or a primitive form of environmental psychology.
Feng shui is a discrete Chinese belief system involving a mix of geographical, religious, philosophical, mathematical, aesthetic, and astrological ideas. It literally means "wind (feng) and water (shui)", and is not simply a decorating style, but a discipline with guidelines compatible with many different decorating styles.
For a place to have "good feng shui" is for it to be in harmony with nature, and to have "bad feng shui" is to be incongruous with nature. Although people aren't usually described as having good or bad feng shui themselves, believers in feng shui say that certain people by force of personality or visual appearance are able to add or subtract from the feng shui of their surroundings.

It's "Feng shui" and it means: The Chinese art of positioning objects in buildings and other places based on the belief in positive and negative effects of the patterns of yin and yang and the flow of chi, the vital force or energy inherent in all things.

Feng shui (say "fung shway"), often called the art of placement, could just as accurately be called "the art of flow." This ancient Chinese practice, literally translated as "wind" and "water," aims to maximize the beneficial movement of chi-the universal life force present in all things-through an environment.
Just as fresh air and clean water nourish our bodies, so does fresh, clean chi nourish our homes and our lives. When the flow of chi through our space is blocked, weak, or misdirected, our relationships, cash flow, creativity, health, and career can suffer. Chi wants to meander gracefully through a space, like a gentle breeze or a winding stream. When it flows too strongly, it becomes like a hurricane or flood. We are likely to feel tossed about by winds of change, unstable, prone to crises, struggling to "keep our heads above water." Where chi is blocked it becomes stale and stagnant, like a pond choked with algae and fallen leaves. We may feel tired, run down, depressed, unable to focus, hampered in our efforts to move forward in our lives.
