Feng Shui: Rituals to renew the energy of your home

Feng Shui is an ancient Chinese practice that focuses on the harmonization of the environment to promote health, prosperity and general well -being. The term Feng Shui literally translates as «wind and water»reflecting the importance of the flow and balance of these natural elements. Over the centuries, Feng Shui has developed and refined, and Nowadays it is used worldwide to create spaces that promote peace and positive energy.

This practice has its roots in Taoist philosophy and dates back to more than 3000 years in ancient China. Originally it was used to find propitious locations for tombs, buildings and entire cities. So, Feng Shui's teachers observed the landscape and the natural environment, including mountains, rivers and wind directions, to determine the best way to build and organize habitable spaces.
