Yin and Yang are two forces of energies in the universe. Yin is the passive, negative force and Yang is the active and positive force. The literal translation of Feng is ‘wind’ and Shui is ‘water’. “Feng” is also air, gas, clouds, storms, energy fields and radiation of energy. Furthermore, “Feng” are structures that direct the flow of wind, mountains, rocks and buildings.
“Shui” is also lakes, rivers, waterfalls, rain, snow, ice, plants and living organisms nourished by water. Wind and water are associated with good health and as a result, positive Feng Shui would mean good fortune and bad Feng Shui would mean misfortune.

Yin & Yang
The principle of Yin and Yang is one of the core essentials to the art and science of Feng Shui. There is a belief that there should be a balance between the Yin (Feminine) and the Yang (Masculine) to help maintain a good positive flow to a successful happy life.

Qi
When there is good interaction between the Yin and the Yang energies, then this results in the good Qi (Life). The good Qi will bring about all the forthcoming positive changes to health, wealth and happiness. There are certainly other factors that one should consider to bring about these changes; one has to allow oneself to want to bring these positive changes into their life.
The right path is when the energy is aligned well enough that one not only wants, but does everything one can do, to bring about these changes, and to welcome what is needed to bring about the positive Chi in their lives. Taking the right ‘action’ is certainly needed and this can be brought about, beginning with some simple changes.
