(pronounced fung-SHWEE)

Just so you know, you might also hear the term pronounced fung-SHWAY. It’s an ancient Chinese term literally translated as “wind-water”. Now it’s used within (as well as outside of) the design world as a method of harmonizing a space with the spiritual forces that inhabit it — thereby balancing chi (flow of energy) — by auspicious orientation, placement, or arrangement as determined geomantic principles. You may scoff, but feng shui consultants now have multi-million corporations as clients.
