Feng Shui is an ancient practice, science and philosophy based on the study of the flow of energy in our environment and how it affects human beings. In the home, Feng Shui creates harmonious relationships, attracts abundance and foster good health. In business, observing Feng Shui principles is a sound way of creating opportunities for growth, improving your standing in the community and attracting new customers.
In the practice of Feng Shui, the principle reference symbol of your environment is determined by using a map called a Bagua. Ba means eight, while gua means trigram (area), simply means eight trigrams. The eight sections of the Bagua each represent one of the eight life aspirations and each is attributed to a different facet of one's life. The Bagua symbols derive its significance from the eight trigrams of the I Ching, thereby imparting symbolic meaning to the eight compass directions. The I Ching, or Book of Changes, as it is known in the west is the principle source of philosophy and symbolism for Feng Shui.
Another important aspect of about Feng Shui is the Five Element Theory. These five elements are considered the main manifestations of qi, the vital energy. According to the Chinese, everything in this world belongs to one of the five elements or energies, namely earth, water, wood, metal, and fire. They are believed to affect every action and activity and produce life changing effects, when applied to daily life. It is also fortified by the fact that all the twelve horoscopes are based on the five elements. They define the characteristics of a person according to the amount of the element present. Given below is more information on the five elements in Feng Shui.
The Yin Yang Theory is one of the main theories of Feng Shui are two energies that shape the universe and everything in it.

In the Bazhai or Eight Mansion method the kua number or trigram of the home is used to derive the four auspicious and inauspicious locations. Ming Gua or most commonly known as your Gua number gives your four auspicious and inauspicious personal directions. Each direction and location reveals a different quality of chi.
The ultimate intention of practicing Feng Shui is to create an environment that supports and encourages the positive flow of energy into your life. The very first step in your Feng Shui journey is the "clear the clutter", to prepare your home for the prosperous, nurturing and supportive energy you so deserve. Keeping your home filled with things you no longer use or love, indicates your lack of trust that the universe will provide for you in the future.
