What is Feng Shui?

Feng Shui, or Chinese Geomancy, is an ancient Chinese practice that involves harmonising and synergising with the energies present around us, to create a positive environment to live or work in. Feng Shui literally translates to “wind water”, and hence deals with the idea that universal cosmic currents (Qi) flow through places, structures and people – just like water and wind – and with the right master, can be tapped into to improve wealth, happiness, family, etc.
Feng Shui is a practice that makes use of astronomy, astrology, architecture, cosmology, geography as well as topography to determine the energy flow in a place and accurately devise a solution that maximises the flow of positive Qi. Although a Chinese Taoist practice by origin, Feng Shui can be adopted and utilised by anyone and everyone, regardless of race, gender and religion.

How does Feng Shui work?

Feng Shui works on the idea that universal Qi is cyclical, along with its two main systems – San He (3 harmonies) and San Yuan (3 cycles). By analysing them, ancient scholars and Feng Shui masters have been able to devise complex codes that dictate the structure and flow of Qi in a person, place or thing.
Following these codes with respect to a person’s surroundings, location, direction, time as well as personal information such as birth chart, a Feng Shui master can analyse the Qi structure of the person as well as the environment around them. Since every individual and location has a different flow and structure, it is always best to get personalised, individual readings done in order to receive an accurate diagnosis and solution.
