Fung Shui
What is Fung Shui?
Fung Shui or Feng Shui (some spell it differently) may seem like a very superstitious science but it is actually based
on the very sensible notion that living with rather than against nature benefits both humans and the environment. It is all
about how to create good energy (also called Chi) in your life so that you can manifest positive things into your immediate sphere. The literal translation of the Chinese word Fung Shui (pronounced fung-shway) means wind and water.
The art and science of Fung Shui also recognizes that our lives are deeply affected by our physical and emotional environments.
If we surround ourselves with symbols of negative, contempt and indifference toward life and nature and choose to live in places that
are actually unpleasant to the human soul then we will attract misfortune. Hard edges, uncomfortable furniture and clutter create
what is called "sha" or "shar" which are the Chinese words for "bad energy. The theory is that the kind of
energy that we surround ourselves with will creates more of the same.
The theory behind Fung Shui is that some of these problems can be remedied simply by organizing your space so that Chi (good energy)
is allowed to freely flow through your life.
The purpose of Fung Shui is to comprehend and control the natural flow of energy in order to design houses and workplaces that harmonize with
the environment instead of clashing with it. A Fung Shui "cure" (which might involve the placing of a mirror to
double the size of a space or the removal of a heavy object from a sector of a room) promotes the flow of positive energy by neutralizing
or avoiding negative or destructive energy.
Beside Fung Shui for houses and workplaces, we can apply Fung Shui for businesses; like name card's design, website, all business official document as well as our own personal Fung Shui.
Personal Fung Shui covering more to our daily life; for example the type of 5 Element we chose to use, the color, the direction we face or travel towards and
many more tips will be explain on the following page.

What is Chi?
Chi is simply translated to mean "life force." It is pronounced 'chee'. Places that contain broken objects,
mess or negative images are thought to weaken or block the life force. An individual living in such an environment is thought to
have their own life force weakened by this negative chi. Negative chi is also called shar chi and is represented by
anything that
creates shadows, dirties the air or water, is stagnant or has sharp or intrusive edges.
Although chi is present everywhere it is thought to collect in places that are augmented by certain characteristics of the
landscape. For instance it is considered to be bad fortune to live right next to a swiftly running river or in a dwelling that is
exposed to strong wind. A property that is bounded by rolling hills and
slow moving meandering streams is thought to create and collect good chi. This type of water flow is thought to bring a residence
happiness, prosperity, luck and longevity.
Yin and Yang
Yin (black) and yang (white) are the harmonizing factors of the universe. They are opposing energies like day and night. One is not
particularly negative; they are just forces that need to be in balance in one's environment to achieve optimum peace and
prosperity. Yin and yang are totally dependent upon one another and one does not exist without the other.
The Five Elements
Chi energy manifests in five forms - the five elements of fire, earth, metal, water and wood
