The Basics

Feng shui is a tradition of placement and orientation with a long written literature and several schools that contradict each other. It is not a science and it is not a belief you have to hold to use any of it. These pages explain the vocabulary — chi, the bagua, the five elements, the commanding position — and are honest about which parts have an ordinary practical basis and which are tradition alone.

About what you read here. Everything on Feng Shui Pack is general information and our own editorial opinion. We research carefully and we say when the evidence is unclear, but we can be wrong, things change, and no article can know your particular situation. Please do your own research and make your own judgement rather than treating anything here as the final word. Prices, products and specifications around the topics we cover change constantly, and what suits one person will not suit another. Check current details yourself, and where a decision involves real money, safety or something you cannot undo, it is worth confirming with a qualified professional before you act.
