These ancient Chinese words translate as "Wind" and "Water." The fundamental philosophy of this belief is that ch'i must always be in balance. Ch'i consists of yin (female) and Yang (male), the two come together to create a flow or movement of Ch'i through and across the Earth, Animals and People.

The oldest evidence that has been found relating to feng Shui dates to around the Second Century BC and informs us that it consists of:
1 : Taoism, which translates the way of the holistic approach as this is how the very cosmos exists and we can see this in the very natural patterns within Nature.
2 : Divination relating heavily towards the patterns that nature creates.
3 : Astrology and Numerology and contemporaries which enable the placing of events according to the patterns of nature at any one time. The belief that everything must be balanced was from the Confusian tradition which, like the Native Americans was completely informed Orally from elders. Around 300 AD Feng Shui split and from which came I Ching.

Feng Shui is still practised in many Pacific countries, although it has been imported to the West very few know the essence of the oral tradition as it is still a closely guarded secret. Some Feng Shui practitioners are professional masters receiving an income for their recommendations regarding buildings. i.e. Where to place them and facing which way to have the maximum positive effect both for Nature and Man. The Feng Shui master can also help if you have negative Ch'i by offering recommendations to put back the balance by different means, one of which is too use a mirror placed in or on a particular spot to repel any negative energy. They are also called for when entering a new home to perform a exorcism ceremony which they call Tun Fu. This is done to clear the building of any past spirits/memories. In the past it has been known for Feng Shui masters to divert train tracks, roads or relocate buildings as they predict that it will cause negative energy.

Feng Shui can at times be compared to the theory of the Hartman Network, which informs us that there is a grid of Earth Energy lines which is marked and affected by underground streams and sacred sites. In the West we call this "geobiology" which is that the connection between every living thing and the acknowledgement that it is influenced by the Earth itself at any exact time.
