Feng shui (traditional Chinese: 風水; simplified Chinese: 风水; pinyin: fēng shuǐ; pronounced /ˈfəŋˌʃueɪ/ foong-shoy in Chinese Mandarin, "fheng-schway" in American English) is an ancient Chinese system of aesthetics believed to utilize the Laws of both heaven (astronomy) and Earth (geography) to help one improve life by receiving positive Qi. The original designation for the discipline is Kan Yu (traditional Chinese: 堪輿; simplified Chinese: 堪舆; pinyin: kānyú; literally: Tao of heaven and earth).

The words feng shui literally translate as "wind-water" in English. This is a cultural shorthand taken from the following passage of the Zhangshu (Book of Burial) by Guo Pu of the Jin Dynasty:

Qi rides the wind and scatters, but is retained when encountering water.

Traditional Feng Shui practice always requires an extremely accurate Chinese compass, or Luo Pan, in order to determine the directions in finding any auspicious sector in a desired location.

Feng Shui Tips For Your Home For Health, Prosperity and Happiness

Ever since Feng Shui entered out lives it helped many of us growth healthier, happier and more spiritual. The art of Feng Shui is here to stay.

Here are some tips to enhance the balance of your home with the help of this ancient art form.

  • The space in front of your main door should be clear and free, so do not have slippers or shoes outside of your door.
  • Avoid having a TV in your bedroom, as this generates negative energy in the room and you will have a restless night ahead.
  • Avoid placing a fridge, washing machine or sink in the kitchen against the stove. Stove is fire and the rest are water. The two elements are mortal enemies even in Feng Shui.
  • When children study, have them sit with their back to a wall. This way they will have the needed support that allows them to study for longer time rather than only 30 minutes at a time.
  • Also your bed should have the wall behind it to ensure good rest. Having a wall behind will give you a deeper sleep so the next morning you will feel refreshed, rested and ready to tackle the day ahead.
  • Each day open your bedroom window for at least 30 minutes for the chi to enter the room. If you don't, next night you will sleep with the stale chi air from the day before and that is not healthy for your sleep.
  • Marble tables in the dinning room are a big no-no. If you feel tired and have a lot of work pressure, try to replace that table with one made of wood.
  • To attract positive energy and anything you want in your life, place a water fountain in the home, avoiding placing it South. Some great directions to place are North, Southeast and East. Do not add the water fountain in the bedroom, as the worry energy will enter you thoughts while sleeping, causing you anxious sleep and possibly nightmares.

These are but some of the many tips that you can use to your benefit if you practice this Chinese ancient art form on a regular basis.
