What is Feng Shui?

Feng Shui is an ancient practice that originated from China a few thousand years ago. It was a mystical art to be practiced only by a privileged few, but had branched into a science as more and more people are interested in the intrigues of it.

It originates from Taoist practices which teaches about balancing the "yin" and the "yang" - so called energies of life, in order to ensure good health and success for the practitioners.

Feng means "wind" and Shui means "water". In ancient China, a particular place or situation which has good "wind" and "water" means, that the people will live long and have good fortune. From this, when they say that you have good feng shui, it means your life will be full of success and abundant harvest, while bad feng shui means trouble and suffering.


Feng Shui originates from the spiritual environment, even though today, some have tried to inculcate them as a non-superstitious belief. The teaching evolves around the five feng shui elements, namely, wood, fire , metal, earth, water. It is also about balancing the powers of the yin and yang, to ensure a smooth journey on this earth. This teaching contradicts with the Word of God, the Bible, which teaches that our lives are governed by the Will and Hand of God. If we walk in His Will, we are under His Guidance, and not any other outside superstitious beliefs such as feng shui.
