Feng Shui is the study of the environment and its physical influence upon us.
Feng Shui terms like 'dragon's veins' and 'secret arrows' sound so mysterious, beyond our understanding, yet dragon's veins are simply the natural energy that flows throughout the landscape.
What is this 'energy flow'? Wind and Water. These two forces of nature shape our Earth. Together with sunlight they support all Earth's functions.
Feng Shui shows how to achieve optimum spatial effectiveness and personal empowerment, linking a place to the occupants. Where to enter, where to put water, where to place a solid wall. It is not only about placement of objects, working through complex formulas, or predicting animal signs. Every building is unique. Every environment is different. Every person has choices.
What do we need in order to live in prosperity?
Wind. Water. Mountains (Earth) and Sunlight.
At its core, Feng Shui asks us to think logically about what is best for ourselves and our environment.
Working hand in hand with other design principles such as architecture, landscaping, urban planning, geographic analysis and interior design; Feng Shui is none of these things independently, yet it is not unfathomable; it works on universal and common sense principles.
