The Yin and the Yang of the Home

Feng Sui is an ancient system of Chinese aesthetics that seeks to balance the energies of a space and provide harmony to those who inhabit it.

It asserts that by organizing the environments in which we spend most of our time, mainly the home and office, we can improve our lives and create much needed balance.

By using the five elements of water, wood, fire, earth, and metal in our home, and arranging furniture pieces according to the Bagau Map, your living environment can positively affect your career, family, creativity, relationships, reputation, skills, and health.
