In Chinese “Feng” means wind and “Shui” means water. But as Rising Dragon Feng Shui expert, Angela Ang – who had the dubious pleasure of auditing David Blaine’s London Bridge glass box – explains, although wind and water are key ingredients in Feng Shui study, it’s not all airy fairy abstract concepts.
“TV shows talk about Feng Shui and the flow of energy, Yin and Yang, blah blah, but what does that really mean? When I see the explanation of Feng Shui so crude and off the point, it makes me want to cry."
“Feng Shui study means looking at what effect electro-magnetic forces, light waves, psychology, gravity and other such invisible forces have on life. The best definition of Feng Shui is the cause and effect of energies in the environment on you.”
Says Raymond Catchpole, chairman of the UK-based Feng Shui Society: “The underlying philosophy recognises that humans and their environment are sustained by an invisible, yet tangible, energy called 'chi'. This may move like the wind to activate opportunities, but when frustrated by obstacles it can eddy like water to become trapped and stagnant.
