 Feng
Shui ,the ancient Chinese art of placement of buildings and
other material elements to enhance the flow of "vital life
energy" known as Qi. (pronounced Che)
Feng Shui followers believe that buildings (interiors and
exteriors) and environments can be arranged and decorated in a
way that maximizes the flow of Qi. Proper directional placement
can result in improvements to health and happiness of those who
live in that environment.
Although the unembellished translation of Feng Shui
fundamentally means "Wind and Water", its scope encompasses a
lifestyle more profound than this. Feng Shui is an expression of
the oneness and interconnectedness of all things on all levels
and all dimensional plains. This is the elementary concept in
understanding how our fundamental nature relates to everything
else around us, including our environment.

As we begin to sense this oneness, we then find that it is
possible to gain insight from looking at our environment on a
broader scale. It is often said that "Feng Shui teaches us what
we already know".
During this
Summer, the season to be out doors, try to spend some time by
the water. Feng Shui practitioners believe that nothing
attracts wealth and good luck like running water.
Running
waters that pool symbolize a gathering of wealth. The water
element represents the flow of energy, clarity and attracts Qi,
life force energy.
More positive Qi enhances health and prosperity. Running water
helps move positive energy through space. Water is extremely
soothing, very calming and is great for dipping toes, splashing,
dunking and floating around.
