More than just an interior decorating style, Feng Shui is a life philosophy. Feng Shui is based on the idea that the universe is filled with invisible, cosmic energy, called chi. Chi is in constant motion, flowing around us and our surroundings. The goal of Feng Sui is to harness this life force and encourage it to flow in beneficial ways. Good chi can promote happiness, health and prosperity.
Bad chi can cause sickness, strained relationships, and financial problems.
The Land School was developed by farmers in ancient China. The Compass School, as the name implies, utilizes compass points, astrology and mathematics rather than landscape features for orientation. It uses the room of a door or building as the main point of reference. Colors, seasons, and animals important to Chinese mythology like the dragon, tiger and turtle are also important. Every object is characterized by a certain element.
