[Pronounced. Fuhng-shwey] [Chinese. 風水]
[Definition. “A traditional Chinese practice, which uses energy forces to harmonise individuals with their surrounding environment”.]
We’ve all heard of the art of Feng Shui, but what does it actually mean? The philosophy dates back thousands of years, and to put it simply, Feng Shui sets out to create a balance between ourselves and our surroundings, through the arrangement of objects, use of colours, and the areas of your home that they are applied. A home with good Feng Shui will encourage a flow of nourishing energy that should allow you to feel relaxed, happy and healthy, leading to better relationships, increased productivity and having a positive effect on your personal growth. Translated literally, ‘Feng Shui’ means ‘Wind Water’ (feng = Wind, shui = water), with the philosophy teaching us that the wind carries and disperses energy, whilst the water attracts and collects it. This concept of flowing and stagnant energy can be seen throughout the basic principles of the practise, which we will explore in further detail, so you can apply Feng Sui to your home and flourish from the effects!
