Feng Shui (pronounced Fung Shway) is a Chinese science and art that dates back about 4,000 years. It is a science because it involves calculations in analyzing a certain property. Its artistic aspect consists of performing the various ways of rearranging furniture, which is the result of the scientific analysis.
In Feng Shui, the most important element is air. It is the energy, good or bad, called Chi. It is believed that Chi, if directed in the proper way, can promote harmony, prosperity and good health. If not directed properly, it can create chaos and misery.
Following the principles of Feng Shui help a person live in harmony with nature. Feng Shui means wind and water, respectively. Wind means the aspirations in life such as career, love and marriage and knowledge and wisdom. Water, on the other hand, is the physical activity of aligning oneself to maximize one's opportunities in life, which brings the realization of your aspirations and dreams in life. This is the goal of Feng Shui.
The different aspects of Feng Shui are Chi and Yin and Yang. Chi refers to the life force energy. It is the breath that fills the lungs, the force that makes the heart beat. It is the unifying principle of energy, connecting everything on earth. The Hindus called it Prana, the Catholics called it Spirit, the Greeks called it Pneuma and the Hebrews called it Ruah. Where Chi is absent, life is unproductive and blocked, but where it is present, life is rich and full of opportunities.
The other aspect of Feng Shui is the interconnection between Yin and Yang. Yin represents female, dark, passive, nurturing and etc. Yang represents male, light, hard, aggressive and etc. There is no light without darkness, no strength without weakness. The duality of the universe is expressed in the interdependency of all things.
The last aspect of Feng Shui are the Elements of Nature, which include water, wood, fire, earth and metal. Looking at nature, the five elements are in their natural forms. The sun represents fire, the soil where houses are built represent earth, the ores mined from the mountains represent metal, the ocean represents water and the trees represent wood.
Each element of nature has its own correlations with qualities, virtues, time or period in one's life, as well as interiors of the house or office and shapes. Such associations of the elements of nature are often considered in Feng Shui analysis. Present in all creation, the five elements follow the law of nature, acting as agents of change by constantly creating and destroying each other in a balanced and continuous cycle to ultimately achieve the goal of balance and harmony.
Chinese doctors use this principle of creating and destroying elements to cure patients. This principle also is used by Feng Shui practitioners in balancing the Chi in a property and applying cures for some violations of the ancient Chinese art.
