Feng Shui
Feng Shui is a metaphysical practice that uses systems and ideals from Taoism and schools of cosmology in Ancient China. The term Feng Shui literally translates into “wind and water”. It studies how the environment will affect human wellbeing in terms of prosperity and harmony.
The knowledge originated at least 6000 years ago as accumulated experience and observation of primitive people in finding a good dwelling location where it is safe from severe weather, fierce animals, as well as convenient in finding source of food and water. This developed into a body of knowledge about the configuration of landscape, mountains and water contributing to a safe and prosperous site to live.
Feng Shui is a way of understanding our place in the natural world, as well as our connection to the cosmos. The goal is to harness energy forces and establish harmony between an individual and their environment.
