Feng shui
(Redirected from Feng Shui)
Feng Shui is an ancient Chinese practice that involves arranging the pieces in living spaces in order to create balance with the natural world. The goal is to harness energy forces and establish harmony between an individual and their environment.
History
Feng Shui has been practiced for more than 3,500 years in China. The practice is rooted in the Taoist vision and understanding of nature, particularly the idea that the land is alive and filled with Chi, or energy.
Principles
Feng Shui is based on the Taoist vision and understanding of nature, particularly on the idea that the land is alive and filled with Chi, or energy. The ancient Chinese believed that the land's energy could either make or break the kingdom, so to speak.
Yin and Yang
One of the main principles of Feng Shui is the concept of Yin and Yang. This is the idea that everything consists of two opposing but connected forces: Yin (feminine, black, dark, passive, moon) and Yang (masculine, white, light, active, sun).
The Five Elements
Feng Shui also involves the five elements: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water. These elements interact between themselves in productive and destructive cycles. Each Feng Shui element is associated with certain shapes, colors, sounds and images.
Techniques
Feng Shui practitioners use a variety of tools and techniques to achieve harmony. Among these are the compass, the Bagua, and the Lo Pan.
The Compass
The Feng Shui compass, also known as Luo-Pan, is used to access deeper information about a site or a building. It consists of bands of concentric rings arranged around the magnetic needle.
The Bagua
The Bagua (or Pa Kua) consists of eight symbols used in Taoist cosmology to represent the fundamental principles of reality. Each Bagua area corresponds to a certain area of your life, such as family, wealth, or career.
