Feng Shui "Wind & Water"

5/52 week group.

 

Low Lighting - very low lighting.

 

Pronounced "fung shway," feng shui literally means "wind and water." Its roots are 5,000 years old.

 

Feng shui seeks to promote prosperity, good health, and general well being by examining how energy, qi, pronounced "chee," flows through a particular room, house, building, or garden.

 

Yin and Yang

 

 

Feng shui considers yin, feminine and passive energy, and yang, which is masculine and hot. It also looks at the five elements - water, fire, wood, metal, and earth, and the external environment.

 

The points on the compass, with eight separate directions - north, northeast, east, southeast, south, southwest, west, and northwest - are also important.

 

A feng shui expert, known as a geomancer, will consult an individual's Chinese horoscope to figure out what is best for that person and use complicated mathematical calculations from the ancient I Ching, (Book of Changes), to determine what aspects of the house are out balance.

 

 

M Pearl relaxing. This is as bright as it gets without killing the detail. Ornate wrought iron, leopard print, symmetry in framed photographs...a huge fireplace and & Beams from the Roman era. All tied together. Relaxing in the candle lit room with softly filled music (instrumentals).
