Feng shui is an association of Chinese words meaning wind and water respectively. It could be translated into French by the divination of the earth. The purpose of feng shui is to control your chi which is cosmic energy. Control is exercised, in the physical body of man, but also in his daily living space. The purpose of this mastery is the establishment of a harmonious relationship between man, earth and sky. You lack such a balance if your cosmic energy is not released. The consequences will be perpetual tensions in your social and professional environment.
