Frequently Asked Questions
What is feng shui?
Feng shui is a 3,000-year-old Chinese practice of arranging spaces to harmonize with natural energy (qi). It draws on the bagua map, five elements, and yin-yang theory to improve health, relationships, and wellbeing through spatial design.
Can beginners apply feng shui at home?
Yes. Start with three simple steps: declutter your entryway, place your bed in the command position (facing the door without being directly in line with it), and balance the five elements in each room using colors, materials, and shapes.
What is the bagua map and how do I use it?
The bagua is an octagonal energy grid with eight life areas (career, knowledge, family, wealth, fame, relationships, creativity, travel) plus a center for health. Overlay it on your floor plan aligned with the front door to identify which areas need adjustment.
