What is Feng Shui?
Feng shui (traditional Chinese: 風水; simplified Chinese: 风水; pinyin: fēng shuǐ; pronounced /ˈfəŋˌʃueɪ/ fehng-shway in English) is an ancient Chinese system of aesthetics believed to utilize the Laws of both heaven (astronomy) and earth (geography) to help one improve life by receiving positive Qi. The original designation for the discipline is Kan Yu (traditional Chinese: 堪輿; simplified Chinese: 堪舆; pinyin: kānyú; literally: Tao of heaven and earth).

People new to Feng Shui, especially those interested in becoming a practitioner, are sometimes surprised and confused by the bagua concept. They expect something a little more complex and involved. But, as it turns out, the magic is in the simplicity. You can understand the bagua better if you look at it through the eyes of a child rather than a learned scholar. A child has an attitude of hope and enthusiasm, uncluttered with the confusion or the irrelevance we acquire as adults. Choose to accept the Bagua as simplistic universal truth and its secrets will be revealed to you.

The universal laws of cause and effect that Feng Shui is based on are deeply affected by belief and gratitude. Some people rationalize that when Feng Shui cures are put in effect they can influence others who are unaware of the intentions and therefore have no believe level themselves, and thus incorrectly conclude that Feng Shui can work without belief. This is a flawed viewpoint because it ignores the bigger picture that someone did believe. Not necessarily all the people affected, but somebody put the initial intentions out there and started the ball rolling. The entire world does not have to be in harmony with your desires for them to begin come to you.

Some people, when they first learn about Feng Shui, are most attracted to the areas of "Prosperity" or "Relationships and Love". Love and money are two pretty strong motivators for many of us. And in the western culture especially we tend to think "more" is always better. If one pill will cure a headache, two should do it in half the time. But neither Feng Shui nor medicine usually works that way. It is a mistake in Feng Shui to focus on only some bagua areas and concentrate all your efforts on those. Feng Shui is based on balance not on excess, and unbalanced thinking usually brings disappointing results.

The two questions I seem to get asked by new people the most are "What is Feng Shui?" and "How can Feng Shui benefit me?" After more than 17 years of working with Feng Shui you'd think I could spit out an answer to those two questions like a tape recording, but in fact I stumble around for an answer as much now as I did the first time I was asked. The reason is there's no single, simple, answer; it depends a lot on how much the other person understands about Feng Shui. You have to give a little more explanation to a person who has just heard the term Feng Shui for the first time vs. somebody who has read an article or maybe even a book on the subject
