Feng Shui


By harleybennett at 2013-03-25 06:57:37
The ancient Chinese art and craft of using the powers of Heaven and Earth to affect our daily life is known as Feng Shui. Loosely translated, the term refers to wind (feng) and water (shui) which are the vehicles through which the life force or Chi moves.

The principles of feng shui have been used for nearly 3000 years in China to orient buildings and man-made structures, so that the energies are balanced, providing good health, fortune and peace to those who inhabit them. With the correct balance of wind and water, the positive qualities can be harnessed, while an incorrect balance or bad feng shui can result in the opposite effect.



The tradition has deep roots in astronomy, cosmography, architecture, color theory, knowledge of wind and water patterns, climate, numerology, geology and magnetism among other things. However, as with all traditional knowledge systems, feng shui has picked up bits and pieces from superstition, magic and other less verifiable systems and is currently one of the most popular folk-arts in the world.

Over the years, feng shui has developed its own repertoire of instruments, theories, artifacts and techniques. In fact, the magnetic compass was first invented in ancient China to find the magnetic north for correct orientation of a building. The concept of polarity (Yin and Yang) also has its origins in feng shui, as is the theory of the Five Elements (earth, water, fire, metal and wood). These concepts also need to be correctly balanced in feng shui to either make or break your life.

Apart from these basic theories, there are literally hundreds of schools of thoughts that come under the feng shui umbrella. These include the use of various artifacts like aquariums, crystals, fountains, certain plants, colors, elements, compasses, clocks, pictures of different animals, use of fabrics and materials, the use of form and contour of the land and orienting a building in relation to direction, analyzing the flow of water and wind, use of the Ba-gua or energy map, and a host of other theories.

Feng shui in contemporary times is being used all over the world to promote peace, health, good fortune and prosperity in homes, offices, schools, hospitals and other public and private buildings. Inside the home, the correct feng shui balance can be given to bedrooms, living-rooms, kitchens, baths, study and gardens to channelize the chi energy correctly. Use of colors, fabrics, mirrors, pictures and artifacts is recommended by feng shui masters.

Currently, feng shui is being used in every aspect of life: to find love, wealth, happiness, to cure illnesses both physical and psychological, addictions, chronic conditions, improve health and well-being, promote friendship and even in weight loss! Many architects and landscape artists use feng shui theories, while research is being done on its environmental and psychological basis.

There has been criticism from rationalists, religious groups, scientists and traditional architects and medical professionals about the theory and practice of feng shui, however, it is largely a matter of individual choice.
