I personally believe that China has some great hidden secrets of life..the way the Chinese people live their lives is amazing..It is apparently the one of the only two nations which are in all means independent and disciplined.The most simple and efficient nation that is there on Earth.Their way of living is something i have greatly appreciated and i believe that if we try to implement their way of thinking and living it can be very worth while for all of us. Therefore i am sharing all the information i have acquired about their way of living. Chinese mainly apply a philosophy in improving their life which is called “FENG SHUI” .
Feng shui (say “fung shway”), often called the art of placement, could just as accurately be called “the art of flow.” This ancient Chinese practice, literally translated as “wind” and “water,” aims to maximize the beneficial movement of chi-the universal life force present in all things-through an environment.
Just as fresh air and clean water nourish our bodies, so does fresh, clean chi nourish our homes and our lives. When the flow of chi through our space is blocked, weak, or misdirected, our relationships, cash flow, creativity, health, and career can suffer. Chi wants to meander gracefully through a space, like a gentle breeze or a winding stream. When it flows too strongly, it becomes like a hurricane or flood. We are likely to feel tossed about by winds of change, unstable, prone to crises, struggling to “keep our heads above water.” Where chi is blocked it becomes stale and stagnant, like a pond choked with algae and fallen leaves. We may feel tired, run down, depressed, unable to focus, hampered in our efforts to move forward in our lives.
Feng Shui reminds us that everything is connected, and that our physical surroundings have a significant impact on our mind, body, and spirit. It teaches us to be mindful caretakers of our environments, so that we may be mindful caretakers of our lives.
According to the philosophy there there are five elements;
- Fire
- Earth
- Metal
- Water
- Wood
All the above elements needs to be taken care of in your personal surroundings.The whole art is based on balancing these five elements….
