Feng Shui (pronounced fung schway) is an ancient Chinese tradition of placement and design that guides human beings in living harmoniously with their environments. This practice of arranging space for optimum well being was first devised almost 4,000 years ago as farmers in China sought appropriate locations for their homes that would bring the greatest opportunity for good health and prosperity. Feng Shui, which literally means wind and water, sees the world as completely alive with its own chi or personality that is directly affected by such details as the arrangement of furnishings, the location of doors and windows, and the choice of colors and materials. Balancing the chi is the key to good Feng Shui. When in balance, there is a harmonious interaction of yin and yang energies (light/dark, hot/cold, male/female, etc.), and harmony and good fortune prevail. This explanation of Feng Shui is a simple description of a complex discipline. Feng Shui masters spend their entire lives studying universal energies and their relationship to human beings and their environments. In Hong Kong where Feng Shui flourishes, it’s a rare business owner who doesn’t consult a Feng Shui expert about the auspicious placement, design and decor of his business and residence. In recent years the practice of Feng Shui has increased significantly in the western culture as people search for ways to achieve a balanced and prosperous life through a more holistic approach to their environments. The Bagua
By overlaying the Bagua onto a floorplan (it stretches to fit!), it is easy to identify the locations of these life areas and how chi flows through the structure. If any areas are “missing” or weak in some way, simple solutions can adjust the chi flow to strengthen the area and bring it into harmony.
