Feng Shui
Feng Shui is an ancient art of placement which enhances living in harmony with your physical surroundings. The proper name for Feng Shui is 'Kan Yu'. The word Feng Shui (pronounced "fong shway" or "fung shway") is Chinese and means "Wind" and "Water". Feng represents the Wind that carries the Ch'i (which literally means energy) throughout a space. Shui is referred to as the Water that meanders underneath the earth transporting Ch'i. Feng Shui as the art of placement is implemented by experts on the basis of how Ch'i or energy moves around your home, based on several entities - the position of your home, its environment, the shape of the house and your land, the compass location of each room within your home, the entrance to the room and the furniture in it, and many more entities, including the landscaping of the house.

Feng Shui is the art of placement mainly
guided by the five element theory. It is based on the
Chinese belief that the universe is composed of five
elements. The 5 elements - Earth, Fire, Metal, Water
and Wood or forces of nature called "wu-xing" aren't
literally elements but qualities, constantly overcoming
each other in a continuous cycle. The Five Element Theory
in Feng Shui is based on the symbolic representation
of the five elements in your environment.
