What is Feng Shui?

A lot of people have this common question of what is Feng Shui?  It is an ancient art that was developed over 3000 years ago in China. It enables us to make use of our positive energies to promote good health and fortune. The word ‘Feng’ basically means wind and ‘Shui’ means water.

Feng shui helps you make the best use of available space using universal principles and the laws of nature. The main aim of this exercise is to promote a healthy lifestyle and invoke feelings of positivity. Feng shui’s principles are based on natural elements and when they are applied a nurturing environment is created which is beneficial for everyone. Furthermore, it also encourages the idea of inducing positivity in our lives by embracing change. Let’s discuss how Feng Shui for home can be applied.


  • Start by cleaning up your house. Clear the clutter. Re-energize the space both, visible and physically by clearing out unwanted things and cleanse accumulated dirt and clutter. Getting rid of stagnate energy, you will feel the energy of the space receive a lift.
  • Fresh air and light is very important for your home. These are the elements that help improve the flow of energy in your home.
  • You need to use a compass to find out the Bagua. It is like a chart of your house. The Bagua will define the different areas of the house that are linked with your life.
  • You need to induce the basic Feng Shui elements. This will help create the right balance in your home and also bring in a vibrant energy. For example, if you want wealth to enter your life then you can introduce the Feng Shui elements of Water and Wood in the SE area of your house.
  • Positioning and placement of the furniture is important as it allows chi to flow freely throughout your home.
  • The proper use of Feng Shui symbols can help attract specific energies to your home.
