Feng Shui- How To Feng Shui

If you want to learn how to feng shui and be in harmony with your surroundings, there are a few things you should know about this practice first. Knowing these basics will help you better appreciate the value of what you learn later.

Feng Shui Basics
Feng Shui, also pronounced as fung shway, is attributed to the Chinese. They practiced the art of managing matter and space in order to be in sync with the environment. Translating directly, Feng Shui means wind-water. However, long ago Feng Shui was called Kan-Yu which means The Law of Heaven and Earth. Today, real feng shui is taught by the masters. It is rumoured that only a few carefully chosen students are taught by the masters.

Kua Number
One of the important considerations in this practice is the kua number. A kua number consists of a person birth details. Everyone has one and each number is unique. Each one is also calculated differently for women and men and each oner can affect the success in all aspects of your life. By calculating the number with that of the people around you, you can determine and control the two basic energies- the Yin and Yang.

These are the male and female energies that must be respected and controlled. The kua number is a complex study and I will have to go into detail in another article.
