The ancient Chinese art of energy balancing, feng shui, has attracted the modern Western mind by its variety of applications for life improvement. Even if it could seem basic, feng shui is pretty difficult to define as it involves intimate knowledge of the elements, the surroundings, the energetic structure of the body as well as of the principles governing the functions of the universe. "Feng" means "wind" and "shui" is "water" in Chinese; these two elements, gentle wind and clear water are symbols of fulfillment in terms of health, wealth and fortune. People speak of "good feng shui" and "bad feng shui" depending on the way the energies are respected and put to work for you. |
