What is Feng Shui?
Feng Shui ( Wind and Water) is the practice of arranging your environment so that the energy or "chi" flows gently and smoothly through your home or business environment.
This is the term used by the chinese to help balance the source of energy near or within you that may influence you in character and personality. This is common sense actually. If you intend to build a house near the airport, it is not advisable because it will affect everyone's personality not only yours, the sound of the aircraft will deafened your hearing , the thought of a mishap will haunt you like a bad nightmare everyday, far from others and that will drastically makes you an anti soocial person and shops facilities will tire your physic and so forth ( on a larger scale). Putting or arranging furniture blocking the smooth traffic or movement flow for you to other rooms (smaller scale value) . Simply means we should prioritise flow, may it be human traffic or air circulation.
In this way the room you just feel good and help what you want out of life-whether it's a better career, a new love, health improvement, or more income.
This is an exxageration of thoughts that carve the way you think that may resulted in many issues, from simple decision to the more complex like a love life.Obviously if the circulation of air is hindred your health will definetly at risk, that is why we have architect to solve ventilation facility for our homes and offices.
Feng Shui is not the practice of meditation, religion, or New Age cult. Feng Shui is just a guide not something that we are force to believe like a religion but a way to better living by practising common sense.
Feng Shui is based on the concept that everything in your environment has a life force or energy called "chi." The Chinese believe that every matter has life and this life has a sense of energy that they called "chi" while science has already proven that living matter has ion and proton that revolves. Anything that moves create energy.
Just as the flow of chi through your body, chi also flows through the environment. When the energy flow is stagnant (think chaos and overflow), moving too fast (think long dark hallways, stairs, and shot straight through the house), or blocked (think wall, tree, or even a car in the wrong place), chi unbalanced can lead to poor health, marital discord, or financial problems.
Here we are talking about life and death. Stagnant and movement. And it is translated as any corners in the house that is "dead" where human traffic does not occur or there is no ventilation or there is no sunlight streaming in obviously that kind of space will cause odour, sight and even structural deficiencies and need remedy or alteration. Even at the slightest of such occurence is best avoided, every inch of the house should "mingle" harmoniously preventing any "dead" corners.
Feng Shui can help you make sure that the proper flow of chi energy so that everything in your environment to support your desire to luck, good health, harmonious relationships, and prosperity.
Do we really need Feng Shui , or is it because we are not aware or just neglecting a simple common sense that we need someone to remind us of ?
In Asia every ethnic group has their own " Feng Shui", the Malays, Indian, Fillipinoes, Thai, Vietnamese has something that they customarily and habitually practise not only in building, decorating, designing to even in choosing a wife . The Chinese is more prominent because they commercialised their trade to others .
