History of Feng Shui

While these days Feng Shui is rarely used to create new settlements, it is used to create new living spaces and to transform existing spaces. Both residential properties and businesses have benefited from the clean lines and unique configurations that are part of the modern practice of Feng Shui.

In order to truly understand both the ancient and modern practice of Feng Shui, it is helpful to understand the concept of polarity. In the world of Feng Shui, this polarity is expressed in terms of yin and yang, with the yang representing the living and the yin representing the dead. These concepts are used to determine the optimal placement for furniture and other accessories. The placement of objects within the room is determined in order to avoid blocking the natural energy of the space.

The practice of Feng Shui just may be the oldest form of interior decorating in the world, dating back at least 4,000 years.

This ancient practice lives on today, as modern homeowners seek to use this ancient practice to increase the energy in their homes and enhance the value of their businesses.
