What is Feng Shui?

Charlie`s passion for design extends to natural elements and he incorporates Feng Shui into his work. What is Feng Shui? This is a simple question that can be difficult to answer. Feng Shui is an ancient art and science developed over 3,000 years ago in China. It is a complex body of knowledge that reveals how to balance the energies of any given space to assure the health and good fortune for people inhabiting it.

Feng Shui is heavily influenced by the theory of the Elements. In the Chinese Scheme of the Universe, there are Five of these Elements, i.e. Wood, Fire, Metal, Earth and Water. All Chinese astrological sciences including the time, years and dates of birth are categorized as one of the elements. The five Elements are also associated with colors, seasons, directions, and planets.
