Feng Shui Overview

Developed over 8,000 years ago, feng shui theories came from logical conclusions about natural cause and effects that have endured through time. Passed down from generation to generation, only a select few understand the phenomenon of feng shui in its entirety. The complexity and correct application of feng shui takes many years to learn from a Master.

Today, feng shui is a multi-disciplinary study encompassing architecture, urban planning, geography, astrology, electromagnetism, landscape design, environmental psychology and much more.

Everything is made of chi, or energy. Chi is organized into five elements: metal, fire, water, wood and earth. Each of these physical elements are energies that have frequencies with a unique wavelength. These different frequencies react to each other in different ways - some positive and some negative. Based on the Taoist philosophies of nature which include the Yin-Yang Theory, Five Element Theory and the Yi-Jing Trigrams, feng shui helps us determine which frequencies work positively with our own personal energy, the energies of our family members and co-workers. With this knowledge, we can arrange our environment accordingly.

Hardly anyone disputes that the moon’s energy affects the tide. Humans are affected by cosmic and earth energies much in the same way. Feng Shui is a way for us to harness this power and use it for our good.
