Feng shui is an art of space planning, interior or exterior, whose mission is to balance the vital energy (in Chinese: chi or ki) and to maintain in harmony the five main elements that exist naturally in our environment: earth, fire, water, metal and wood. The Chinese consider that it is through the balance of all these elements that we obtain a pleasant and beneficial living space for its inhabitants, for their health, their relationships and their success.
