Feng Shui is an ancient art and science developed over 3,000 years ago in China.
It is a complex body of knowledge that reveals the ways to balance the energies of
the environment to assure health, wealth and good fortune for people inhabiting it.
"Feng" means "wind" and "shui" means "water" (pronounced fung-shway). In
Chinese culture gentle wind and clear water have always been associated with
good harvest and good health, thus "good feng shui" came to mean good
livelihood and fortune, while "bad feng shui" came to mean hardship and
misfortune.
Feng Shui is based on the Taoist vision and understanding of nature, particularly
on the idea that the land is alive and filled with energy.
The main tools used in a feng shui analysis are the Compass and the Ba-Gua.
The Ba-Gua is an octagonal map or grid containing the symbols of the I Ching, the
ancient oracle on which Feng Shui is based. It is one of the easiest methods used
to ascertain the Feng Shui of any given environment.
The feng shui compass, also called lo-pan, is used to access deeper information
about the site or the building. It consists of bands of concentric rings arranged
around the magnetic needle. "Lo" means "everything" and "pan" means "bowl",
which can be interpreted as the key to mysteries of the universe.
Feng Shui offers a variety of remedies and enhancements to improve people's
lives and rectify inauspicious situations. It is extensively used in both home and
business environments all over the world. Although some levels of feng shui are
easy to understand and apply, the "core" knowledge takes years of study. Just like
traditional Chinese medicine, feng shui knowledge is very deep and complex
