Introduction

Traditional Chinese healing practices such as acupuncture, herbal cures, massage, and martial arts focus on energy/chi. Naturally, Feng Shui does as well, but it involves the external surrounding environment and your interior living space, not just the body. The concept of chi is based on the belief that all things in the Universe possess the mysterious consciousness of energy. Therefore, every cell in your body and every room in your dwelling have their own unique energy.

The Chinese also believe that when we live in a state of harmonious energy (Feng Shui), well naturally enjoy good health. Not only that, when illness does strike, theres always the Tien Yi or Heavenly Doctor to make you well again. In fact, my teacher, Grandmaster Yap Cheng Hai, began his journey into Feng Shui in the 1950s due to the persistently ill health of his four young children. He told us that in those days, about half of his salary went to doctors and medicine. Frustrated, he hired a Feng Shui Master to come to his home; the results were so remarkable and immediate, he embarked on learning the secrets of Feng Shui himself.
