What is Feng Shui? (#ulink_0bccf18a-16cf-5be5-9e8c-4c391cd86b82)

Feng Shui means “wind and water.” In the literal sense it refers to the topography of the earth, its mountains, valleys, and waterways, whose shapes and sizes, orientation, and levels are created by the continuous interaction of these two powerful forces of nature.

To people of Chinese origin all over the world, Feng Shui connotes a mystical practice that blends ancient wisdom with cultural superstitions. This broad body of traditional knowledge lays down guidelines for differentiating between auspicious and inauspicious land sites. It also provides instructions on how to orient homes and design room layouts to enhance the quality of life dramatically.

In the family home, well-oriented Feng Shui features work to create harmonious relationships between husband and wife and between children and parents, foster good health, and attract abundance and prosperity. They bring good fortune to the breadwinner, build good reputations, and strengthen descendants’ luck – children who will bring honor and happiness to the family in the future.

In business premises, good Feng Shui creates opportunities for growth, elevates prestige in the community, attracts customers, raises profits, and expands turnover. Employees stay loyal and a pervasive aura of goodwill ensures smooth working relationships.

Good Feng Shui results when the winds and the waters surrounding your home and work space are harmonious and well balanced. Bad Feng Shui, on the other hand, brings illness, disasters, accidents, burglaries, and financial loss. It results in lost opportunities, fading careers, squandered wealth, and collapsed reputations. Above all, bad Feng Shui causes grave unhappiness, and it can sometimes even provoke tragic consequences for the reputation and well-being of the family unit as a whole.
