FENG SHUI Feng Shui literally translates as “wind and water”. It dates back over 5,000 years and is the ancient Chinese art of placement and harmonizing the energy flows within your natural and man-made environments. It involves the understanding of existing and potential chi (energy) flows while making changes appropriate to each situation and individual needs.
Definition
Feng shui is a study of how humans interact with their environment. Feng shui is the practice of analysing and influencing the interaction between people, buildings and the environment in order to enhance quality of life. The term feng shui originated in ancient China and its basis is chi, which is a vital energy present in everything. In practice it focuses on the way a building can influence the behaviour, emotions, health and thoughts of people spending time there. The body of knowledge that contributes to feng shui explores the influence of building design, interior features, furniture, imagery, natural local earth energies and the location people place themselves within a building at any given time.

How Feng Shui Works
There are many external factors that can alter our emotions and our behaviour. Well-researched examples would be the lunar cycle, weather, seasons and colours. Feng shui experts also recognise that the atmosphere, or chi, of a building is able to influence our thoughts and feelings. The job of a feng shui consultant is to assess what kind of atmosphere a person will succeed and flourish in, then create the appropriate environment the home or work space.
For good and warm partner relationships you can put a couple on the relations spot. Dolphins, Swans, Two hearts, two candles or two cosy seats.

There are more ways to practice Feng Shui. E.g. the Compass method and the Black Hat Sect Feng Shui.
The compass method of feng shui requires that you know the year your house was built, as well as whether and when any significant renovations involving the roof, foundation, or major additions have been made. You also must be able to get an accurate (within a couple of degrees) compass reading on the "facing direction" of your home.
Fortunately, there is another approach, introduced in the United States by Master Lin Yun. Called "Black Sect" or "Black Tibetan Buddhist" feng shui. This and other similar approaches focus on creating a healthy flow of chi through a space.This contemporary Western style of feng shui addresses the need for a method that can be used where compass-oriented rules of placement are difficult or impossible to follow. It can also be used in combination with the other methods to provide a deeper understanding of the energetic qualities and influences of your space.
Whatever method you chose for, take always into consideration that it must feel right for you. Nobody else can tell you what is right or wrong. "If it feels good, it is good"! Play with the energy in your home or in your business and create health and wealth. Let the energy flow.
Working with the Bagua - The Feng Shui Compass.
Aligning the feng shui bagua map
Orienting the feng shui bagua map is really easy, you just need to follow some simple feng shui rules. Usually you align the bagua diagram with the front door. The front door is the mouth of chi—it's where all the energy enters into your home. However, if your front door is blocked or NEVER used, then align the feng shui bagua map with the most commonly used door.
Feng Shui need not to be expensive. With simple solutions you will be able to enhance and improve the energy, which will be noticable in your entire life. Especially art, created by yourself will give fantastic Feng Shui.
