Feng Shui is an ancient Chinese science based on the study of the flow of environmental energy (QI) and its effect on human life. “Feng” means “air,” and “Shui” means “water”, and thus, Feng Shui means “balance of air and water.” This science is based on installing the right flow of energy in spaces, homes, offices, and other aspects of life. If the energy flow is in the right direction, it can bring positive changes to every aspect of life. (Image: AI-Generated)

Feng Shui Theory: Feng Shui’s fundamental purpose is to balance energy in the spaces and bring positive life changes. There are some major principles for this:
Chi (Energy): According to Feng Shui, an invisible energy (Chi) flows through all places, which determines the quality of the environment of a location. If this energy is balanced and flows in a positive direction, it can improve a person’s mental and physical health. If the flow of energy is stable or interrupted, it can negatively affect a person’s life. (Image: AI-Generated)
