Chinese Metaphyscis: Feng Shui
Metaphysics explores the fundamental nature of reality. Chinese metaphysics has several branches and Feng Shui is part of them. Why?
Feng Shui was around for ten thousand years before paper. It’s thirty thousand years old. Read that again.
Feng Shui sets forth a system to increase prosperity and good fortune in our lives by using the space and objects around us in specific ways. Of course, being Chinese, it involves direction of qi, the life force in everything, yin and yang energies, and all five elements: wood, fire, metal, water, and earth.
Feng Shui shows us how to balance the life force in everything around us and ourselves to live our best and most fortuitous lives.
If you search for Feng Shui (meaning wind-water in Mandarin) online, you’ll find it’s called a “wisdom,” a “science,” and a “philosophy.” It’s all three.
It’s wisdom because it’s insightful. It’s a science because it involves experimentation and evidence that organizes the natural world. And Feng Shui is a philosophy because it postulates a way to exist.
