Feng Shui is the 6000-years old ancient Chinese art and science of placement with the intention of achieving balance and harmony in the environment.
Feng Shui  means, in Chinese, literally Wind (Feng) and Water (Shui) .
Feng Shui is pronounced "Feng Shway" in Mandarin, "Fung Shui" or "Fung Shuway" in Cantonese. The same Chinese term  is also widely used in Japan and Korea, where it denotes the same meaning but is called Fusui in Japanese and Pung-su in Korean.
Ancient Chinese were very careful in choosing a site to establish a village, a town, or a capital. A well-chosen site could bring prosperity, while a poorly chosen site could bring famine and war.
Feng Shui is rapidly becoming a model & standard practice for creating the ideal and balanced environment in which to live and work nowadays.
You may benefit in health, career, wealth, business, relationship, etc. through the simple practice and learning some basic principles (tips) of Feng Shui. It can be as simple as placing your couch in the best location in your living room, your table in the best location in your office, placing a tree in your garden/yard, or as complex as placing your house in the best location on your property.
According to Feng Shui principles, people may be affected for better or worse by their surroundings. By manipulating and arranging surroundings you can attract positive vital energy , or so-called "Chi" (in Cantonese) or "Qi" (in Mandarin), which flows smoothly thus unblock any obstructions in your body and environment. You can make a peaceful harmonious environment in your home or work place.
Feng Shui is simply environmental study.
It is the study of how to create a beautifully balanced environment. Looking into the future, Feng Shui will be the science of tomorrow. The aim of Feng Shui is thus complete harmony and a deep sensitivity with the natural order.
Feng Shui is also the study of the distribution of "Chi " in a location.
Since mass and energy are interchangeable, Chi can be in the form of matter, energy, or a combination of the two. Therefore, Chi can be visible, invisible, or partially visible and partially invisible. Ancient Chinese classified all things in Nature into five types: metal, water, wood, fire, and earth. They are also called "Wu Xing." Water dominates in winter, wood in spring, fire in summer, and metal in autumn. At the intersection between two seasons, the transitional period is dominated by earth.
