WHAT IS FENG SHUI?

Feng shui is the study of the impact of a built-up environment on our life. The literal translation of feng shui is wind and water, feng means wind and shui means water.

SOME IMPORTANT FENG SHUI WORDS

Chi or Qi: It is an invisible and vital force, which is a balance of positive and negative electromagnetic energy that connects your own emotional energy to the space around you. 

Yin and Yang: It is a Chinese concept of cosmic duality which is used to describe how apparently opposite forces are actually complementary to each other. Yin is characterized as a feminine, dark and an inward energy, whereas Yang is characterized as a masculine, bright and outward energy. The balance between Yin and Yang energy is very important.

Bagua: It is an energy map placed over the floor plan of any built-up area (home, office, shop etc.) to analyze the energy of it. Bagua literally means 8 areas. It is divided into three by three grid of eight boxes. Each of the box represent a specific energy field associated with a particular area of your life- like wealth, fame, career, family, children, with the center box representing the owner of the house. It is a tool that reveals how your house environment is connected to the various areas of your life.

Luo Pan: It is an important tool of feng shui. Luo Pan is a feng shui compass, used by the feng shui practitioners to determine the precise direction of any building or structure.

You can apply feng shui to any aspect of your life and make it better. You need not be poor, you need not be sick, you need not be unhappy.
