Feng shui is an elaborate Chinese art that is based on two Chinese astrological systems.
Lesson 2. Heaven, Earth, Man, & Chi
The core of feng shui is based on alignment and balance. For those who practice feng shui, both have internal and external significance. Ancient Chinese practitioners would use feng shui inwardly to spread joy and contentment.
Lesson 3. Yin & Yang
Within chi are two cycles, a positive and a negative cycle. These cycles are known as "yin" and "yang."
Lesson 4. The Five Elements

Because your home has a chi, or a breath, the placement of your windows and doors is crucial.
