Introduction to Feng Shui
According to Feng Shui, there are five natural elements in the world that are responsible for the harmony, health, and life of people. These elements are Fire, Water, Earth, Metal, and Wood. Proper arrangement of these elements in your home can ensure harmony and attract happiness and prosperity.
