Feng shui

Feng shui is an ancient Chinese art that is used to promote health, wealth and prosperity. It literally means wind-water. Wind which cannot be seen and water which cannot be grasped. It is a technique that has been used for thousands of years to bring balance in one's home, business and surrounding. It looks at many areas of one's life and then determines the areas that might cause blockage or problems and the type of cures that can be used to alleviate the problem.
