Feng Shui is an ancient Chinese science originating from over 3000 years ago. At the beginning it was called Kan Yu, denoting the monitoring of the activities of the forces between the Heaven and Earth, but ever since Qing dynasty the term Feng Shui has prevailed.
The Feng Shui counselors were reputable citizens of Chinese empire
providing counsel to the emperors for centuries. Nowadays Feng Shui plays a
significant role in the economies of prosperous countries such as Hong Kong,
Taiwan and Singapore. In order to ensure consistent and extensive well being
there are entire cities and states built according to the principles of Feng
Shui, and each family have their own Feng Shui master.
Feng Shui studies the energy circulation in nature as well as the effect
of the living environment on people. The accumulated energy, or Qi, is invisible
but omnipresent, affecting our existence with its power. On the one hand it can
be particularly positive and beneficial, bringing us luck and wealth, or, on the
other hand, not so positive, conveying hardships. Feng Shui can is
simultaneously regarded as science and art. Our awareness of the measurable
parameters of Feng Shui principle such as location, direction and time enables
us to bring a person in balance with the place he or she lives in, in order to
achieve a better, healthier, more quality and more successful living.
When we are able to distinguish the energies in our environment by the means of Feng Shui, we gain the information enabling us to choose to live in good locations, compatible to our personal energy, and letting us receive the positive Qi from the environment.
When we do not possess the Feng Shui knowledge it can all to easily
happen that we–quite unintentionally–choose for ourselves a living environment
bringing in unfavorable Qi, thus decreasing our chances to realize our potential
and a quality life.
For centuries, the Chinese have been utilizing Feng Shui at their
residential and business premises as an aid to help them achieve the desired
well-being, success, happiness, health and longevity. A skilful application of
Feng Shui can turn into a fascinating tool enabling us to reach and maintain the
maximal living potential.
