Garden Feng Shui is the most important part of Feng Shui, because it is here where the quality of our living space begins. We need to surround ourselves with goodFengShui.

What is the art Feng Shui? Feng Shui is the science of being one with our environment, using manipulation of the energies that surround us and our living space to create harmony and balance. It is important to realize that without harmony in our outside surroundings, our inside living space has nogoodChi.

The first rule of good Feng Shui is to be in balance with our native landscape, its mountains, hills vegetation, waters, windandenergies.

Feng Shui is deeply imbedded in the ancient history of China and was then only accessible to the ruling elite of China. Now this practice is available to everybody and has crossed the great waters to theNewWorld.

Of course the practice is more simplified now. The philosophy of Feng Shui is based on the trinity of luck that influences the quality of a persons life. This is Tien Ti Ren, the luck from heaven, the luck from the Earth, and the luck that we createforourselves.

Heavens luck, or Karma, is your destiny and cannot be manipulated. Luck from the Earth is Feng Shui. If we can live in harmony and balance with our environment we will be rewarded with good fortune. Human luck is in what we create in the opportunities that come our way, and bring usbestresults.

Than there is Yin and Yang, Yin being the dark and passive, the female energy, Yang being the light and active, the male energy. Yin and Yang are the eternal union of heaven and Earth, whose breathisChi.

In Feng Shui, a balance of Yin and Yeng is optimal, an unbalance is bad Chi, or the killing breath. Yin and Yang are never steady as they interact, they change, like the seasons, the sun rises and the moon goes down, day becomes night, winter follows summer, anever-endingcycle.
