Core Feng Shui – the knowledge of the proper selection and location of all that is living environment. This includes the geographical location of the home, take into account how the topographic conditions in which it is located, will be suitable for mental and physical health of its inhabitants, as well as a number of common characteristics: the use and transformation of the surrounding natural environment, the orientation of buildings to cardinal directions, height, and size information, where to place the entrance as to bring the road, how to organize water and sanitation.

In fact, Feng Shui includes Geology, meteorology, hydrology, architecture, psychology, environmental protection. It is believed that Feng Shui has a significant impact on human health.

For example, the direction of the magnetic flows of the earth, underground water flows, rivers flow, wind one way or another affect people. If the environment is unfavorable and the location of the house is unsuccessful, it can manifest unpleasant consequences of this irresponsible choice. This is consistent with the theory of traditional Chinese medicine about human adaptation to the surrounding natural environment.

According to this theory, man and nature are closely interrelated, a person is not something separate and independent from nature and the environment and the movements of heavenly bodies affect his health. There have been cases of improper handling of Feng Shui, when all sorts of witches and spell casters trying to make it into something mystical, transforming science into superstition. We the topic let's leave.





Doctors of ancient China have developed a scientific theory of the "Teaching medicine for the environment". They noted: "Food, drink and habitat are the sources of diseases," clearly showing that insufficient elaborately built house may be one of the important factors that cause disease, as the building itself and its furnishing must be done reasonable and suitable for a normal healthy life.

Chen Zhi said: "you Should always monitor the cleanliness in the bedroom and remove it with taste. In the summer it must be open, and in the winter – tight. Bed for sleeping should be high and wide. The mattress should be smooth, flat and soft enough. On three sides it is better to put a screen that protects from the cold wind". Keep the bedroom warm in winter and cool in summer, there is no place for the wind and dampness.

In old China, people were very picky with regard to the orientation of the house to the cardinal points, the location of the bed, lights in bedroom, height of the house, how and where to open the window. For example, the treatise "Tian Yin zi about how to be healthy" says: "What should be a good place to live? This is not a great and big house with elaborate trim.

The house should be facing South and the head of the bed to sleep on East. There should be a balance between Yin and Yang, a harmonious combination of lighting and shading. If the house is too high, there will be a surplus of light and Yang. If too low, will be an overabundance of darkness and Yin. When the light too much, it hurts, Hun (Yang spirit), and when a lot of darkness, harmed by (the spirit of Yin). In man, the Hun is Yang and Yin. If you suffer of Hun and po, having the disease. In my house there are curtains on the window and screen wall. When too bright, I lower the curtains and dim the lights in the house. When it's too dark, I raise the curtains and let in more light. Try to keep the soul always was fresh, and before the eyes – beautiful. When the mind and the eyes are flawless, with the body nothing will happen".
