Even before the Spaniards came to our country, our ancestors were already bartering with citizens from other countries, most notably, China. We hate to get a little historical here but yes, the Chinese have been doing business with us that long. As a result, they have a wide and deep influence on our culture This includes anything out of traditional beliefs.

Chinese New Year is fast approaching and talks of Feng Shui are already radiating from all media. You hear about it on TV and radio, and read about it on newspapers and magazines. Weird as it may sound, some may even go as far as saying you aren’t totally Filipino if you haven’t heard of Feng Shui.

That Vital Force

According to The Chinese Zodiac, Feng Shui is the art and science of organizing and designing environments that enhance the optimal flow of energy. The understanding of this statement is based on two things: that you believe the energy flows through the universe, and that you believe there is a way to take advantage of that energy.

They say Feng Shui focuses on the premise that your home is a reflection of how you view life. It is you projecting your perspectives to the physical world. This is why Feng Shui experts can learn about you just by looking into your home. And whether we like it or not, Feng Shui plays a part in Chinese New Year decorations.
