What
is Feng Shui ?
Feng Shui , literally means wind and water, is a body of
knowledge possessed by the Chinese people about how the
environment will affect human well-being. The Chinese believe
that there exists in our environment, in the landscapes,
mountain and water, different kinds of energies. These are
natural forces existing in our surroundings and they will
have significant impact on our well being. Some of them
are good energies and some may bring misfortunes. As such,
if we place ourselves in a good location to receive all
the good energies, our prosperity and health will be enhanced.
On the other hand, if we place ourselves under the influence
of bad energies, then it will increase our chances of encountering
misfortunes. Therefore, it is also called an Art of Placement,
as the knowledge will guide us to place objects appropriately
in an environment to retrieve the best prosperity.
This time honored technique has been commonly applied amongst
Chinese people to achieve prosperity and harmony in their
residence and offices. The technique will help one to create
a healthy, harmonious and prosperous environment. The following
are the practical application of this knowledge:

A full and complete Feng Shui analysis of an apartment or
an office involves careful on the spot inspection, measurement
of dimensions and directions, and consultation with the
occupants regarding their fortunes as reflected by their
birth data. It requires detailed study of the physical environment,
interior layout as well as fortune analysis of the people
living in the environment. As such, it is difficult to provide
remote feng shui services without site visit. However, it
is not impossible to provide a professional opinion on a
house without site inspection, provided that the following
information are available:
1.
A detailed sketch of the building showing its main entrances
and main objects in its surroundings.
2. The approximate
year of completion of construction of such building.
3. A floor plan of the
apartment or unit within the building, showing the rough
directions.
4. Accurate measurement
of the direction of the FRONT of the building, accurate
to the nearest degree.
