Feng shui is an ancient Chinese practice of orienting buildings and arranging rooms to allow the ideal flow of energy. The goal of feng shui is creating harmony between people and the environment they live in.
In Chinese, feng means "wind" and shui means "water." The name is connected to an ancient belief that vital energy, or qi, flows in the movements of wind and water. The modern concept of feng shui extends that idea to the flow of qi around our living and working spaces. Originally, this practice was rooted in Taoism and used to position important buildings, burial sites, and religious structures.
