When people talk Feng Shui and trying to make sure their home has the right balance or chi, do we really know what that means? Feng Shui is an ancient art and science that was developed over 3,000 years ago in China. The literal translation of “feng” means wind and “shui” means water. Feng Shui’s original, classical name is called ‘Kan Yu’. It is a metaphysical tool to improve our life. It is a system that talks about how the the orientation or location of homes and/or land is influenced by the energy surrounding that environment. In short, it is the flow of energies that affect and enhance us and these energies are Universal Luck, Heaven Luck, Earth Luck and Man Luck. Or know as Qi

Universal Luck is about miracles, motivation, faith and/or intention.
Heaven Luck represent the things you CANNOT control. Eg: The economy, people’s perception towards you, etc.
Earth Luck means location based opportunities. Where you are? Probably that certain area has opportunities for you.
Man Luck is people. The decisions and choices you make are controllable and it depends on your Man Qi.

There are different schools of Feng Shui. Generally it is divided to San He and San Yuan Feng Shui.
1. San He Feng Shui places greater importance on land forms and each has it own set of rules but largely involves in the access of landforms.
2. San Yuan Feng Shui means 3 cycles of time and refers as a time based systems. It generally based on formulas and it is use to calculate the flow of energies.
