What exactly is Feng Shui? 

Nearly 6,000 years ago Feng Shui emerged in China. It quite literally translates to 'wind' = Feng and 'water' = Shui. It is a highly respected and honored ancient method of designing, constructing and optimizing homes, landscaping and businesses to achieve happiness, abundance and harmony. Areas where you would expect to see the principals of Feng Shui applied are architecture, urban planning, interior design, and garden design. Feng Shui involves the placement of objects in relation to the flow of Qi (Chi, 氣) “natural energy”. It also involves the layout, framework, materials and colors of building structures. These rules of thumb allow us to make the most ideal arrangement in any given situation.
