All you need to know about Feng Shui
What is Feng Shui ?
When the topic “Feng Shui ‘’ is discussed, most people will assume it as placing a “Money Toad”. “Money Frog” or some aquarium and Feng Shui enhancers. So what does Feng Shui really mean ? Feng Shui is an ancient Chinese system that examines the layout and architecture of a building and structures, the people who live in it, the local physical environment and how the energy flow known as “Qi’ communicates within all of these elements.
The two words “Feng” (Wind) and “Shui” (Water) derive from the Chinese language. 風(Feng) 水(Shui) , if we look at the ancient characters, we can tell that they were meant depict a flying bird (for “Feng”) and flowing water (for “Shui). The positive energy is linked to both of these characters.
Practising Feng Shui can help to analyze and relieve the physical environment which we create for ourselves. How the “Qi” energy flows through your home, or office can naturally affect your happiness and success — and it’s something that you can impact. For centuries, people have been using “Feng Shui” to enhance their lives in different aspects such as wealth, health, careers, relationships, marriages and almost every aspect.
