Feng Shui
In Chinese, the word feng means air or wind, and the word shui means water. This ancient Chinese art of harnessing the heavens and the earth to bring health, wealth and good fortune uses vibrations of nature, tides and seasonal changes to tune in to the environment.FS, also known as geomancy, is the art of placement of objects, ranging from the orientation of a building to the furnishing of interiors, to influence the flow of chi, which is the subtle flow of energy through the land. The Chinese believe living in or on a concentration of chi produces clear headedness, abundant wealth, health and happiness. The Chinese see this as an accumulation of luck. Luck for the Chinese is not something that just happens, it is something that can be worked at and consciously increased. Through fs we can map the flows of chi and the enhancement or deflection of chi, which are the main principles of FS.
Since ancient times, the influence of feng shui has mystified many architects, interior designers and developers. Many commercial and residential buildings are designed according to FS principles. One example is the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Singapore. A geomancer, a person who practices FS, was hired to alter the door, fountain and information counter. After these alterations were made, the hotel's business increased. FS principles use design and placement of interior elements, along with detection and use of chi, to attain visual and cosmic harmony.
