FENG SHUI is a 5000 year old Chinese art and science describing the energies in an environment and defining how to use these energies for good health and well-being. Feng Shui literally means “wind and water”- wind representing the invisible forces of heaven, water the flow of energy on earth. Man standing upright connects the forces of heaven and earth and unites these energies within himself. If we look at the chakra system - the seven energy centers (energy wheels) - we can consider the upper three chakras as belonging to heaven, the lower three to earth. The Heart Chakra in the center connects heaven and earth within our physical body.
The main principle of Feng Shui is Chi - the life force pervading everything. Traditional Chinese Medicine describes the flow of Chi along the meridians within the body; Feng Shui depicts the flow of Chi in the outside world: in a landscape, a house or an office.
Through the ages, Feng Shui masters learned how to read these energy patterns and how to increase Chi by orienting buildings in a particular direction. They found ways to design gardens and entrances in a beneficial way to conduct Chi moderately through all the rooms of a house to stimulate specific aspects in an individual’s life.
Imagine a house on the bank of a beautiful lake, overlooking the water. In contrast, picture an apartment in the middle of a city facing the back of a factory. Most people will be able to feel the difference. Feng Shui allows us to change an uncomfortable living situation into a harmonious one step by step.
In Eastern societies Feng Shui was used throughout history - predominantly by emperors to increase their power and influence. Today companies in Europe and the U.S.A. have discovered this ancient knowledge and use it to redesign their headquarters and offices based on the Feng Shui principles. British Airways built their new offices (for 3000 people) under the guidance of a Feng Shui consultant. Corporations like IBM, Siemens, Donald Trump Inc., the Hyatt Hotel Group, and others have used Feng Shui advice for their building projects - to maximize business energy and prosperity.
