I pay my obeisance to my Masters and Teachers who imparted the knowledge, skill, secrets and techniques of this Wonderful Art and Science of FENG SHUI. Feng meaning Wind (pronounced as Fung) and Shui meaning Water (pronounced as Shway) are the two energies, which symbolises all the other energies existing in the universe.

Being an Engineer, it was a little easy to assimilate and understand the methods, 3-dimensional perspectives, floor plans and structural details while adapting Fengshui. Trained under many Masters in India for Vaastu and Traditional Taiwanese and Chinese Fengshui Masters, I have been auditing in India and abroad many sites, buildings and offices for over ten years now.

Feng shui is so fascinating that when it is done rightly; you for sure feel the change in your place of dwelling and contribute to the overall improvement of your "QUALITY OF LIFE". Through these columns, I wish to bring to you the theory, practice and the techniques decoded by the great Grand masters who had documented it for the benefit of all those who wished to adapt it.

Feng Shui, in its simplest form is the practice of placing or arranging objects within a space so that they are pleasing to you and naturally support you within the context of that space. While architecture and interior design concern themselves with structure, function and visual impact, feng shui takes into consideration the conscious and unconscious associations you may have with the space and the objects and their placements within it. Feng Shui accomplishes this by combining an ancient divinational tool with simple psychology. An artful combination of the two is where the real work of Feng Shui practitioner comes in. The result should be an house, an apartment or even just a room that reflects your own values and aesthetics, that supports your personal ambitions and simply reminds you of your dreams. Indeed using Feng Shui your "castle" should become your own in the most intimate detail, profoundly affecting the way you think about yourself and the world.

Feng Shui could also be called as an environmental science and its origins are simple and it is the interpretation of the natural world, which has enables the Chinese to create efficient agricultural systems by analysing and studying the movement of energies. From nutrition to medicine, exercise (Taichi), martial arts, Fine arts to calligraphy, Feng Shui underlies all aspects of life.

The simplest form of Feng Shui correction would be to recognise problem areas in our lives and taking positive steps to improve them through which we can connect to the energy of the space around us and bring about desired changes.

There are many schools of thoughts and methods, which have evolved over a period of few thousand years. Some of them are calculation based and are very accurate and follow the Traditional School of Feng shui based on directions, compass, calculations. There are many other methods based on rituals, beliefs and symbolisms. In the recent past the later has caught up and is being popularized through boutiques, shops and outlets selling objects and symbols, which are said to correct a defect in a building. We need to remember that all orientations and corrections are based on directions with a point of reference so a good understanding of the traditional school and methods makes it easier to audit and understand the space.

As we move ahead, I will be discussing more theory and practicalities of Feng Shui, which would help you, improve your space and in turn your Quality of Life.
