Feng Shui is an ancient Chinese philosophy, art, and science developed over 3,000 years ago. The literal translation of Feng Shui (pronounced Fung Shway) means wind and water. The practice of Feng Shui deals with our environment and how it affects our lives. The surroundings in which we live or work can have an amazing effect on our quality of life and the events that unfold.

In ancient times, Feng Shui was used to locate auspicious burial sites. As people became less nomadic, Feng Shui was used to locate homes and villages. The form of the land and locations of mountains and rivers were all used to situate a dwelling. This classical practice of Feng Shui is now known as the Form School.

Further studies of the relationships between the sun, moon, stars, birth dates, and compass directions revealed that all of these environmental factors also have a dramatic effect on our quality of life. Systems were developed that could predict that which we were predisposed to as a result of our time of birth. This knowledge was of great value since one could have advanced warning of a possible bump in the road of life and therefore be prepared for it or avoid it altogether. This traditional practice of Feng Shui is now referred to as the Compass School.

Over the years, several other schools of study have emerged, each one adding information and knowledge that has been discovered as the study of Feng Shui progresses. For example the Black Sect or BTB School has added the power of intention along with a spiritual aspect to the practice. The study of Bau Biologie examines many types of environmental concerns, such as electromagnetic fields, that did not exist years ago, but certainly do effect us in modern times. Other applications such as color theory, psychology, interior design, and space clearing are also employed to further enhance the traditional methods.

Ultimately, the goal of Feng Shui in both ancient and modern times is to create harmony between people and their surroundings. Creating this harmony provides dramatic and powerful changes in all aspects of how we live our lives. Feng Shui can be used to improve romance, relationships, business, wealth, happiness, health and more.
