What is Feng Shui?

The Chinese art of Feng Shui is both ancient and highly complex. Put simply, Feng Shui is the art of placing buildings and objects in relation to energy, to accentuate the positive elements and minimise those which are negative.
Feng Shui literally means ‘wind and water’, and these are the two most significant features in the art. Chi’s energy moves on the winds, while water nourishes the soil. Mountains offer a vantage point and shelter from harsh winds, and these also play an important role.
Feng Shui links and interacts with the movement of Chi’s energy; with the balancing feminine and masculine characteristics of Yin and Yang; with the five Chinese elements of earth, metal, water, wood and fire; and with Chinese astrology.
