Feng Shui
Feng Shui is an ancient art and science developed over 3,000 years ago in China. It is a complex body of knowledge that reveals how to balance the energies of any given space to assure the health and good fortune for people inhabiting it. Feng means wind and shui means water. In Chinese culture wind and water are associated with good health, thus good feng shui means good fortune, while bad feng shui means bad luck, or misfortune.
The feng shui compass, also called Luo-Pan, is used to access deeper information about a site or a building. It consists of bands of concentric rings arranged around the magnetic needle. Luo means everything and Pan means bowl, which can be interpreted as a bowl that contains the mysteries of the universe.

How did Feng Shui start?
It's interesting to note that Chinese started a method which helped them to locate the best place to build their homes and also to find the correct place to bury their dead ones. This way of doing things was called Feng Shui. Whenever the believers of this art performed any such activity, they preferred consulting a Feng Shui expert.
The Feng Shui expert decides the requirements and appropriateness of the position of the objects present. He may also provide some Fengshui tips to vacate the negative energies. Objects which are not placed according to Feng Shui are placed accordingly but sometimes it becomes difficult to shift heavy objects. For this purpose, Fengshui provides a solution of placing a crystal ball or "bagua" at the required place to block the negative energies which are crossing a particular area. "Bagua" are eight diagrams which are used to represent the principles of reality.
Practicing Feng Shui for your space is a personal choice and a matter of belief. Scientific explanations of all elements suggested by this art are available with the experts. However it’s your personal decision to adopt it or live without it.
