Information about Feng Shui
Feng Shui or Feng Shui is a traditional Chinese art and science dealing with life and harmony with the surrounding environment. It is based on thousands of years old rules and experiences that come from ancient China. In general, it can be said that it is about finding the balance of human life, about creating a happy home and a suitable workplace.
Feng Shui can attract prosperity, establish harmony in life and relationships, improve health and life situation. In simple terms, we can say that Feng Shui tries to arrange things in the room so that the energy of chi can flow freely in every corner, thereby improving living conditions and establishing balance. Feng Shui is most often used in homes, but corporate premises, offices, shops and administrative buildings are no exception.
Schools of Feng Shui
Currently, there are several modern directions of Feng Shui. However, traditional schools, which are always focused on an individual and specific person or group of people, are considered to be the most effective. Much better results will be achieved in this way than when creating a universal environment that should be suitable for all members of the household.
Teaching Feng Shui is divided into 7 schools, which are combined in different ways. We can mention, for example:
- compass school,
- school of form (form),
- Pa-Kua school and
- school of intuitive Feng Shui.
Feng Shui tries to use the energy of the surroundings to its advantage. It can be the energy of furniture, plants, people or rooms. It strives to maintain the balance between water and wind. From this combination of water and wind also comes the name Feng Shui: wind (feng) + water (shui).
Elements of Feng Shui
The ancient teaching of Feng Shui works with the polarity of ying and yang and with five basic elements:
- water
- wood
- metal
- fire
- Earth
They try to balance these elements using colors, shapes, smells, sounds and materials. Feng shui also helps in curing and preventing diseases. A properly arranged apartment or house can also help us from family or lover problems, disputes and arguments.
