What is Feng Shui?

Feng Shui literally means wind and water, the wind disperses the invisible life energy and the water contains it.  

Feng Shui is an ancient Chinese philosophy which determines how you can structure and position the items that make up your living space to attain maximum benefits in terms of health, wealth, mental peace, job satisfaction and spiritual fulfillment.

Basically, it is understanding the relationship between nature and ourselves so that we can live in harmony with our environment.  It is believed that living with nature rather than against it, benefits humans and our environment.  Our lives are affected by our physical and emotional environment.  If we continually surround ourselves with symbols of death and ugliness toward life and nature, it will be detrimental to our well being.  On the other hand if we surround ourselves with gentleness and kindness we ourselves become more at one with our natural environment.
