Wind and Water Feng Shui Consulting

The origins of Feng Shui (pronounced “feng shway”) have been traced back thousands of years to mainland China, with recorded observations of the relationship between universal energy, or ch’i, and the natural world (our surroundings). People have since discovered that this energy impacts our lives in both subtle and profound ways. Once used primarily for determining the best location for ancestral graves, Feng Shui has evolved over time into the art and science of placement.

Wind (feng) and water (shui) are the two avenues for vital ch’i to circulate in our surroundings. When the flow of ch’i is hindered (a dead-end road, a blocking wall or obstructive furniture), energy becomes stagnant and forward motion stops. If ch’i moves too quickly (fast-moving water, a long hallway or busy traffic patterns), its beneficial properties are lost. When energetic balance is achieved, ch’i flows smoothly and harmony, health and prosperity will follow. Ancient Chinese sages determined that everything on earth can be found in the five elements Water, Wood, Fire, Earth and Metal.

The effect the elements have upon each other, both in a productive and in a controlling cycle, forms the basis for Feng Shui. The objective of authentic Feng Shui is to bring these elements into balance in the spaces we occupy.
A learned Feng Shui practitioner provides guidance in helping to achieve that balance in your home or workplace.
