Feng shui is an ancient art and science developed over 3,000 years ago in China. It comes from the wisdom of ancient sages observing the movement of earthly and celestial energies, and how this complex movement influences the lives of human beings.

It is a complex body of knowledge that reveals the ways to balance the energies of the environment to assure vibrant health, abundant prosperity and much good fortune for people living or working in any given space.

A big part of feng shui knowledge is also very much common sense info that we all agree upon, but do not always follow or apply in our lives.
Feng means wind and shui means water (pronounced "fung shway"). In Chinese culture, wind and water are associated with good health, thus good feng shui came to mean good fortune, while bad feng shui means bad luck, or misfortune.

Feng shui is based on the Taoist vision and understanding of nature, particularly on the idea that the land is alive and filled with Chi, or energy. The ancient Chinese believed that the land's energy could either make or break the kingdom, so to speak. The theories of yin/yang, as well as the five elements - which are some of the fundamental aspects of a feng shui analysis - also come from Taoism.

The main tools used in a feng shui analysis are the Compass and the Bagua. The Bagua is an octagonal map, or grid, containing the symbols of the I Ching, the ancient oracle on which feng shui is based. Also called the energy map of a space, bagua reveals the energy movement in your home or office.

The feng shui compass, also called lo-pan, is used to access deeper information about the site or the building. It consists of bands of concentric rings arranged around the magnetic needle. Lo means "everything" and pan means "bowl", which can be interpreted as the key to mysteries of the universe.

Although some levels of feng shui are easy to understand and apply, the "core" knowledge takes years of study. Just like traditional Chinese medicine, feng shui knowledge is very deep and complex.
