Life
on earth exists because of an endless cycle where one element
affects another. Feng Shui is the ancient art of placement
that helps tap into this natural cycle to bring about good
and harmonious energies called chi.
Good
chi enhances one's ability to go with the flow and it also
helps brings in good fortune in areas such; wealth, recognition,
marriage, children, help from others, status, education,
and health.
There are some Basic Feng Shui rules that everyone must
learn:
The Productive Cycle Of Elements
The
Destructive Cycle Of Elements
The Lo-Shu Magic Square
The Pa-Kua Grid
According
to Feng Shui, there are five elements in nature.These are
wood, fire, earth, metal and water.There are two cycles
inter-relating the elements of nature.they are The Productive
Cycle and The Destructive Cycle.
The
Productive Cycle Of Elements
Wood
produces fire which clearly means that you can produce fire
from burning pieces of wood.
Fire in turn produces earth, as fire burns wood and leaves
behind ash(earth).
Earth produces metal, as metals are mined from the earth.
Metal produces water.This is so because metal can be melted
and then it acquires liquid state like water.
Water in turn produces wood as trees grow only with the
help of water.

The
Destructive Cycle Of Elements
Wood destroys earth, as trees
grow on earth and suck all the minerals and leave the earth
barren.
Fire destroys metal, as fire melts the metal.
Earth destroys water, as earth(mud) absorbs all the water.
Metal destroys wood, as tools made from metal are used to
cut trees.
Water destroys fire, as water has the ability to put off
any fire.
