Feng shui for love, luck, wealth & harmony

VINCENT SOH investigates how the millennium-old art of feng shui can help you improve your luck at home or the workplace and refresh your relationships.

In Chinese they call it qi, in Korean gi and in Japanese ki. Three thousand years old in understanding, qi is the energy that flows through the environment and forms part of the vitality of every living thing - and is inextricable from the Oriental worldview. Like a lattice of potential, qi connects us all. And people who are "in luck" are said to receive positive qi or energy.
          By observing the sky above and studying the geography beneath, people in Asia have long thought qi is transmitted through a force, such as the wind, and retained when encountering water. A system was slowly moulded to control and harmonise qi, the practice of which we now call feng shui - which means "wind and water" in Chinese.
          Through feng shui, sometimes as arcane as measuring yin and yang energies and at other times rooted in common sense, you can expect better luck or life results. Many successful professionals and executives in Asia are big believers, which is why you see feng shui related artefacts or arrangements in their homes and offices.
