Today we see Feng Shui rising popularity growing for many reasons, as people in general look for solutions to a better personal lifestyle. These include a number of factors such as… health, wealth, balance, harmony, relationships and in building stronger, ever expanding businesses, just to name a few. A visual design creates an practical, logical, analytical environment, a Feng Shui design creates a connecting heartfelt environment. SOME HISTORY: FENG SHUI pronounced as “fung shway” or “feng shoo-ee” is an ancient science with its origins deeply rooted in Chinese culture, interestingly the very same ideas exist in many other cultures under a variety of different names. In China the very first schools of thought came into being around four to six thousand years ago. It is the beginning of an expansive physical language, a science based study of universal laws that govern the heavens and earth and how they project their immediate influence on the lives of all mankind. This Feng Shui language translates into the dual form of Yin and Yang, described by their various states of energetic qualities in a combination best known as the 5 Elements, Earth… Metal… Water… Wood… Fire. The Western definition translates to “Wind and Water” which basically refers to the actions and collection of universal energies within what we refer to as nature. Feng Shui has unfortunately had a complicated history since its inception and even more so from the time it was introduced into the western society around 50 plus years ago. One of its common core functions relates to the design of buildings and houses to enhance positive changes on the persons within those particular structures. This means bringing the outside inside, not in the modern thinking interior design way of today, via big open doors or having gardens inside the structure. Feng Shui is an understanding of the symbiotic relationship combining the energies of: (1) the LIVING and STANDING POWERS within nature’s time cycles

(2) connecting to the living consciousness sometimes referred to as SOURCE (3) and how these energies are connected to every single HUMAN EVOLUTION . It was in fact the very first organic design for building sustainability between humans and the environment to benefit PEOPLE SUSTAINABILITY, you, me and we. Feng Shui is not Architecture, it is not Interior Design, it is not Space Planning. It is the study of human evolution via the “EVERYTHING IS CONNECTED BY COMPATIBLE AND NON COMPATIBLE ENERGETIC FORMS”.
