Answer:Feng Shui (Fengshui, pronounced "fung-schway") is an art invented by ancient Chinese to achieve balance and harmony in their lives with their homes and the environment. It is the tool to balance Yin (Female) and Yang (Male) in the flow of Chi (Flowing Energy) using the basic five elements (Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth). There are tips that you can use easily to influence the flow of Chi and calculator that help you to determine your best directions regarding Feng Shui (Fengshui) and other more theoretical parts. No matter you want to select a lot for your new home, buying or selling a house or re-arranging your furniture, there is a Feng Shui way to do it. you can help yourself even if you live in an apartment or sharing a place with roommates. Nearly 4,000 years ago, farmers in southern and western China recognized that how they arranged their fields, their crops, their homes - even the graves of their relatives - had significant effects. For example, they noticed that families whose houses faced north were battered by dust storms, while those with houses facing south were protected from wind and dust and enjoyed the warmth and light of the sun. These same principles have been adapted for today by Feng Shui consultants, who advise on ways to arrange your work and home offices. Ancient or modern, Feng Shui is all about increasing chi ("chee"), or the flowing energy, and making sure it flows in the right direction and the right time. Today, Feng Shui has been armed with modern technology, and people could get the Feng Shui results in a very short time.

Question: May I have a Feng Shui example which changes people?

Question: What is the difficult part to have or to practice Feng Shui service?
Answer: In order to understand Feng Shui, you have to understand "The Book Of Changes" (I-Ching or Yi Jing) which was written by ancient Chinese scholars. Simply put, Feng Shui is an application of I-Ching, the book of changes. It has been proved to be correct by statistics. However, no past history is guarantee for future performance. When there is a question, one should always go back to I-Ching. Thinking about change. To understand Feng Shui, we need to understand many theories on which Feng Shui is based. Include Yin-Yang theory, five elements, Ba-Gua (see above image), Chi, ten heavenly stems and twelve earthly branches. The ten heavenly stems are most frequently represented by using the five-elements and yin-yang. The twelve earthly branches are most well known as the twelve animals in the Chinese horoscope. Do you know that the twelve animals are related with five elements too? For example, 2000, year of dragon, has character of earth. There is no good or bad about any elements. The stock market can have a bear year in the year of bull and the person born in the year of pig can be really nice.

Question: If Feng Shui is not a religion or science, how could you explain it to me clearly?
Answer: Feng Shui is not a religion, although it took many people a long time to come up with a noun to accurately describe it, simply, Feng Shui is now refered as a 'system' - a system for arranging everything in your surroundings - inside or outside your premise, in such a way that your environment works for you and with you. A system that allows you to be in harmony between your body and your environment. Feng Shui has nothing to do with any religion, because it only makes your life better. It is a system related you, your home (or your office), and your surroundings and the universe. Feng Shui could be praticed at anywhere. Once you have it, you will like it.
