Feng Shui means “wind and water,” which refers to creating a positive flow of energy in the surrounding environment.
The earlier form of Feng Shui was called “Kan Yu,” which literally means “Raise the head and observe the sky above. Lower the head and observe the environment around us”.
It was a representation of the macro-micro theory that denotes the importance of keeping harmony with the cosmos in every design and act.
Kan Yu also refers to the observation of the patterns of celestial or heavenly bodies, known as “heaven Qi,” and their influence on earth, “earth Qi,” which indicates the role of astrology in ancient Chinese geomancy.
The term later changed to Feng Shui referring to two basic elements of nature, as it deals with the direction of the winds and water resources as well as topographical features of the plot in order to determine their positive and negative impacts on human lives.
