1. What is Feng Shui?

Feng Shui is an ancient chinese science and art of living in harmony with the environment. This ancient science existed earlier than the Shakyamuni buddha, nearly 6000 years ago in prehistoric China. The history of Shakyamuni buddha is about 2500 years old only. ( Imagine who has the greatest wisdom! ). In the ancient days, early chinese civilisation used Feng Shui to check for good weather and time for their crops farming.

The ancient Kings and Emperors of China together with their geomancers studied Feng Shui for their war strategies to dominate other tribes and widen their boundaries. That is why only the rich and royal families had access to learn Feng Shui. Hence Feng Shui was kept as a secret to themselves. At that time, neither Sun Tze Bing Fa ( the Art of War ) nor Confucius was born yet.

The ancient chinese scholars developed Feng Shui further with proven results from different perceptions and angles, it became a theory. At that time, Feng Shui is about studies of movement and speed of "chi" which travels with wind and water. That is why Feng Shui is literally known as wind water. "Chi" literally means energy. The ancient chinese referred it as cosmic energy from the universe. ( Imagine how advanced the ancient chinese are? ) They knew "energy" earlier than Albert Einstein from the West. In year 1905, Albert Einstein discovered the relationship of E = mc2 where E is energy, m is mass of body and c is speed of light to the power of 2.

The space here is running out. I continue my talking in the next blog.
