Feng shui is an ancient Chinese philosophy that seeks to find balance and harmony between elements. Incorporating feng shui goes beyond Western design tenets of comfort or aesthetics. Instead, it places emphasis on physical and mental health, success, and healthy relationships, which is brought on through positive energy flow.

Often referred to as the art of placement, in the simplest of terms feng shui is about positioning different elements to optimize “Chi,” or energy. The term is comprised of two words: “feng,” meaning wind and “shui,” meaning water. Not only are these two elements basic and vital to human existence, but they also move and flow around the world.

While the principles of feng shui apply to many elements of life, they are commonly practiced in interior design, in this course learn how to use the tools used in feng shui analysis for any home or commercial space. There is also a guided 15 min meditation and talk by a Feng Shui expert in the final lesson.
