🧘♂️ Feng Shui: Harmony and Balance in Your Living Space
✨ Fundamental Principles
Feng Shui (literally "wind and water") is an ancient Chinese art that aims to harmonize the environmental energy ( Chi ) of a place to promote the health, well-being, and prosperity of its occupants.
Its principles are based on an understanding of energy flows and the strategic application of fundamental concepts:
Chi Energy : The vital energy that flows everywhere. The goal is to make it fluid and beneficial.
Yin and Yang : The balance between opposing and complementary forces (darkness/light, passive/active).
The Five Elements (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water) : These elements interact (cycles of production and control) and are used to create energy balance in a room.
The Bagua : A symbolic energy map (often octagonal) dividing space into nine zones, each corresponding to an aspect of life (career, wealth, family, etc.) to guide planning.
By applying these principles to the layout, decoration and orientation of spaces, Feng Shui seeks to optimize the physical environment to support the life goals of its inhabitants.
