FengShui is the ancient Chinese art of balancing wind and water. ?Feng? stands for ?Wind element? and ?Shui? stands for the ?Water element?. So Feng Shui means a conglomeration of wind and water elements Actually Feng Shui was taken from India by the Chinese several centuries ago. They put some of their local ideas to suit their own culture and environment into it. FengShui has several forms and an expert can determine which form suits whom,when and where. According to Feng Shui, a house should have the following five elements for FengShui to be effective. They are a laughing Buddha, an oil lamp or diya,a bowl of water with flowers in it, a three-legged frog (not real!) and a pair of mandarin ducks (unreal).

To remove the negativity from the house, the above items should be washed with salt water daily. The oil lamps should be lit up daily in the evening.Wind chimes and bells should be used extensively to ward off any negative energy prevailing in the house. Also the Feng Shui in a house should be changed form time to time as the seasons change. The changes should be made every three months.
