Adapted from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

For a place to have "good feng shui" is for it to be in harmony with Nature, to have "bad feng shui" is to be incongruous with Nature. People aren't usually described as having good or bad feng shui themselves. It is believed that certain people by force of personality or visual appearance are able to add or subtract from the feng shui of their surroundings.

Feng shui, meaning "wind and water". is not a decorating style. Rather, it is a discipline whose guidelines are compatible with many different decorating styles.

The source of the term is purported to come from the poem "The winds are wild/The sun is warm/The water is clear/The trees are lush".

Feng shui (pronounced "fung shway") is the ancient Chinese practice of placement and arrangement of space which is claimed to achieve harmony with the environment. Skeptics consider it to be nothing but superstition.

Guidelines
Some general rules are:

• When sitting at a desk or lying in bed, the entrance door should be in a clear line of sight, and you should have a view of as much of the room as possible.
• Straight lines and sharp corners are to be avoided, and especially should not point where people tend to sit, stand, or sleep.
• Avoid clutter.
• Your stairs should NEVER face the front door.
• Roads to and from ancient towns were often curved and windy, an attempt to disorient and keep away evil spirits, who were believed to travel in straight lines.
• Some objects are believed to have the power of redirecting, reflecting, or shifting energy in a space. These include mirrors, crystals, windchimes, and pools of flowing or standing water.

Skepticism
Since first learning about feng shui, many Westerners have been quick to dismiss it as superstition. Eitel calls it "a conglomeration of rough guesses at nature, sublimated by fanciful play with puerile diagrams."

Use in the West
In recent decades many feng shui books have been published in English, often focusing on interior design, architecture, interior decorating, and landscape design. Audiences have reacted skeptically towards the purported benefits of crystals, wind chimes, table fountains, and mirrored balls, etc., on one's life, finances, and relationships.

Some people reject feng shui's justification for its rules (movement of various energies, etc.), but believe that some of its more practical rules (such as not working with one's back to a door) are very useful. There is also no scientific evidence as of today that it exists. The fact that it has worked for some does not mean it will work for everyone.

Acupuncture is based, largely, upon unseen energy flows and acupuncture certainly works, as I know (R.G.C.)  the "grasshopper", Western mind is certainly not, "all knowing" and has much to learn from Eastern medicine.

It is unclear what relationship these Western interpretations have to the Eastern tradition. Many traditional feng shui practitioners in Asia regard Western adaptations as inauthentic.

The Los Angeles Times reported that News Corp., Coco-Cola, Proctor & Gamble, Hewlett-Packard and Ford Motors are also using Feng Shui.
