Feng Shui in a nutshell
The basic principle of Feng Shui is that everything around us is made of energy (or Qi, pronounced "Chi") affecting our health, well-being, and prosperity.. By consciously arranging spaces – from entire homes or offices to individual rooms and objects – we can harmonize the flow of this universal life force, and create an environment that supports our goals.
The term "Feng Shui" literally translates to "wind" and "water," reflecting the importance of energy flow: while one disperses the Qi, the other retains it.

Initially, it was used to select auspicious sites for burial grounds and settlements, considering natural features like mountains, rivers, and wind patterns. Over time, it evolved to include the orientation and design of palaces, and even entire cities, all the way to today's residential and commercial spaces, incorporating contemporary elements like lights, electricity, and even appliances.

By applying Feng Shui principles, individuals aim to intentionally align their living and working spaces with natural energies, fostering a more positive and supportive environment for all aspects of life
