If you are one of those who believe that positive thinking attracts good things, that words are decrees, and you move away from those around you and affect your peace, Feng Shui is for you. 

Of all the ancient cultures there are elements in common. The Egyptians aligned the pyramids with the stars, the Mayans and Aztecs also, the Chinese are no exception. 

Thousands of years old, the book of the I Ching, or Book of Changes, marked much of the ideology and worldview of Chinese culture and from which many of its practices emerge; and Feng Shui is one of them.

Trying to achieve harmony and balance in the energies that surround you and allow that energy to flow towards you, is the goal of Feng Shui. For them this current of Chinese thought studies the changes in nature, climate (wind and water) and even the stars, trying to determine how those energies that undoubtedly surround us flow, and how they affect us from our mood and even our prosperity.

The principles of Feng Shui establish cardinal points related to constellations of stars ancestrally identified by the ancient advisers of the Chinese emperors, relating them as in the Chinese worldview, with animals such as the phoenix, the turtle, the serpent, the dragon or the tiger.

Each of these cardinal points influences the way we must arrange the elements and energies within the home, from the front door to the house, doors and windows to allow the chi to flow through the wind towards the water that resides in us. as a reception center for the positive energies that ultimately determine, according to this way of thinking, our health and happiness.
