Feng Shui (English pronunciation: fun-shway) is the ancient Chinese art of arranging one's environment to promote health, wealth, and harmonious relationships.

Chi is a big concept and difficult to explain precisely, but to keep it simple we can call it "the universal life force, which flows through everything."
