What
is Feng Shui? How
it can affect us?
Feng
Shui is an ancient Chinese practice of harnessing
the natural forces created in our surrounding
environment to bring about prosperity, good fortune,
harmony and beneficial changes in our life.
Feng
in Chinese means "Wind" and Shui means
"Water". By the law of nature, "Qi" is
carried and dispersed by the wind and preserve
in the water.
It
is about understanding of these metaphysical forces
of nature better known as "Qi" in Feng
Shui's term, to be able to manipulate
them to enhance your life achievement; like your
career, health, relationship and business success.
Formerly
known as "Kan Yu", it is the art of living
in harmony with the nature environment; to seek
harmony with the natural way of the Earth. Through
living in harmony with the nature, one is able
to attain beneficial changes in life with good
health and better fortune.
Traditional
or Classical Feng Shui practice can be segregated
into two main groups: San He and San Yuan. These
two classical schools of traditional Feng Shui
have carved out the path to most of today's Feng
shui practices.
San
He, considered the oldest form of Classical Feng
Shui has been around since the Tang Dynasty. They
formulate their system based on the surrounding
environment. They study landforms and features,
analyzing on the appearance, characteristics,
forms and flow of them in particular, water; how
they may actually influence the life fulfillment
of one's who is living within the proximity. In
simple, they are the surrounding features that
you are seeing around your house. They may be
natural features like mountains and rivers or
man-made features like buildings and roads.
San
Yuan was later found towards the end of the reign
of the Ming Dynasty. The main principle as San
He remains but they however formulate their system
basing it more on the aspect of time. They study
on the quality of "Qi"; how the "Qi" of the house
of one's may influence his or her life fulfillment
as they changes in each cycle along time.
Today,
the combinations of these two classical studies
are being used widely, bringing Feng Shui to another
greater height.
Feng
Shui is definitely not a superstitious belief.
It is about enhancing and harmonizing the flow
of energy in the environment. With the correct
application of Feng Shui, it can help you achieve
better fortune and success in your destiny.
