Feng Shui is an ancient Chinese practice of arranging living and working environments to promote well-being and prosperity. It involves thoughtful placement of objects to encourage positive chi (energy) flow. The Ba'gua map divides spaces into eight sections corresponding to different life areas, and cures like lighting, colors, and placement are used to balance chi in each section. Applying Feng Shui principles and cures can help clarify one's goals and improve aspects of life like work, relationships, health, and finances.
