The Chinese words “feng” and “shui” translate to\u00a0mean\u00a0\u201cwind\u201d and \u201cwater,” respectively. This concept derived from an ancient poem that talks about human life being connected and flowing with the environment around it.<\/p>

What Is Feng Shui?<\/strong><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The philosophy of\u00a0feng shui<\/a>\u00a0is a practice of arranging the pieces in living spaces in order to create balance\u00a0with the natural world. The goal is to harness energy forces and establish harmony between an individual and their environment.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

In Asian culture, this philosophy is called the Tao, which translates to mean \u201cthe way.”\u00a0Taoism<\/a>\u00a0is the way of nature and all the basic principles of feng shui reflect nature. Take a look at the essential\u00a0principles of feng shui: the commanding position, the bagua, and the five elements.\u00a0<\/p>

The Commanding Position<\/strong><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The\u00a0commanding position<\/a>\u00a0is the spot in a room that is the furthest from the door and not in direct line with it. It puts you diagonal to the door. Ideally, you should have a clear line of sight to the door.<\/p>

The commanding position is where you want to spend most of your time when you are in that room. Feng shui guidelines suggest you determine this dominant position in the room, then place your bed, your desk, or your stove in diagonal alignment, if you can. These three parts of your house are critical since each represents an essential part of your life. The bed stands for you, the desk is an extension of your career, and the stove represents your wealth and nourishment.<\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
