Feng Shui is a general term for Chinese Metaphysics. An art that dates back approximately 5000 years ago. Also widely practised as a Chinese Art of Divination.
Over the thousands of years, the benefits reaped and testimonials of its effectiveness were undeniable.
Feng Shui is the understanding of mankind on harmonising with the environment.
Many schools or methods of application have sprouted/ formed over the last 3 centuries. Superstition and "New Age Concepts" have led to the question of authenticity. Such commercialised, superficial and corrupted knowledge have deviated from the authentic ancient scripts.
On the other hand, there were misinterpretations of the original texts which lead to various unorthodox methods.
Consequently, Chinese Metaphysics has gradually lost its timely effectiveness.
Authentic Chinese Metaphysics is about "Qi", "Xiang" and "Shu". The profoundness has only been partially realised from the mountains, water, seasons and etc.
In achieving a well balance or harmonize environment, man is less expose to the unforseen bad. In harnessing the goodness, man can receive in abundance the desired. This is Feng Shui.
