Feng Shui - 八卦

Feng Shui, which literally means "wind" and "water", is a traditional Chinese practice which involves the placement of certain structures and everyday objects to promote a balance favorable to health, family, relationships, careers, wealth, etc.

Feng Shui is based on the concept of Chi, which is a highly influential force that controls the destiny of everyone's life. Feng Shui is used to manipulate the Chi to the most favorable conditions by seeking the balance and harmony of one's environment.

During my trip to Taiwan, I were introduced to a Feng Shui master - 郑师夫. Her readings were 'accurate' eventhough she seen me/my house layout for the first time. From there, she will provide improvements to me, I shall not elaborate on that.....

Let's view the outlook of 八卦, we need to understand it first --->
