life on a number of levels.生活對若干層次。

It’s important to know that feng shui is energy that exists…like gravity, air waves, or air.它的重要，也知道風水是能源存在…像重力，大氣電波，或者空氣。 It’s not “made” and it’s not a spiritual philosophy.這不是"造"和它不是一個精神哲學。 It’s tapping into what already exists in the earth.它的竊聽到什麼已經存在於地球上。 Feng shui is founded on the belief that, like water that runs in underground rivers, there are also lines of energy that run in the earth and our atmosphere.風水，是建基於一個信念，像水，即橫跨在地下河流，也有一些線路的能源運行在地球和我們的氣氛中進行。 Harmonizing your home with that energy helps you benefit from that energy that translates into more money, better health, happy children… a good life.協調，讓家中，能源可以幫助您受益於這種能量轉化成更多的錢，更好的健康，快樂兒童…創造美好的生活。 When your energy runs against the energy of the earth, you are saddled with bills, your health is rundown, you’re stressed, life is a hard, uphill battle and every day is dreaded.當你的能量違背了土地的能量，你是負擔法案，你的健康是表，你就強調，生活是一種艱苦奮鬥，一場艱苦的戰鬥，並每一天都是可怕的。 In short, you might describe your life as being “hard,” “in a rut,” or just plain stuck.總之，你可以描述你的生命被"嚴打" ， "墨守成規" ，抑或只是平原卡住了。 It’sa terrible position to be in. Feng shui can help you out of that rut.這是可怕的位置處在風水可以幫你擺脫這種墨守成規。

Feng shui and the practice of harmonizing your home will help you to improve good energy and help you to hold down – or muzzle – negative energy.風水與實踐的統一你家會幫你改進良好的能源，並幫助您按住-或砲口-負能量。 The practice of feng shui isn’t magic.實踐風水不是魔術。 It’s not a religion and it’s not meant to replace any spiritual beliefs.它不是一個宗教，它並不是要取代任何精神信仰。 It’s there to help you tap good energy and control negative energy.它的存在，以幫助您踏好能源和控制負能量。 Why control negative energy?為什麼控制負能量？

We understand that one of the principal laws of the universe is that there is positive and negative energy.據我們了解，其中一個主要的法律，宇宙是有正面和負面的能量。 This is a basic scientific law that the Chinese have understood for thousands of years and describe as “yin and yang” energy.這是一個基本的科學規律說，中國已認識到千百年來的，並形容為"陰陽"的能源。 So, the first rule of feng shui is always to handle to negative energy first – and then maximize the positive energy.所以，第一項規則的風水總是處理，以負能量第一-然後最大限度地積極能量。 This energy, whether it’s positive or negative, is called “chi” or Qi.這股能量的，無論是正面或負面的，是所謂的"氣"或戚。

when something doesn’t feel right.當一些不覺得正確的。 The power of chi has the potential to help us or harm us.權智有潛力，以幫助我們或傷害我們。 When we succeed in tapping good energy we are improving our luck – something people believe you either have or don’t.當我們成功地挖掘好的能源，我們正在改善我們的運氣-讓人們相信你要么，還是沒有這樣的規定。 The good energy of the earth, when harmonized and enhanced, will bestow luck, good fortune, positive好土地的能量，當統一和提高，將賜給好運，好運，積極
energy and feelings to your home – and to you and your family.能源和感受，以你的家-和你和你的家人。

In feng shui, there are several key areas to concentrate your energies, regardless of which school you follow.在風水，有幾個關鍵領域集中你的精力，不管哪所學校，你跟隨。 One is the front entrance.其一是前面入口處。 This is extremely important because it is considered the “mouth” of the building and it is the primary place where chi enters.這是極其重要，因為它被認為是"嘴"的建設，這是首要的地方，池進入。 This area should be clean, well-lit, prominent, and attractive in order to derive the greatest benefit.這方面須保持清潔，有良好的照明，突出的，有吸引力的，以獲得最大的好處。

Other critical areas are the living room, kitchen, and bathroom.其他重要領域是客廳，廚房，衛生間。 For instance, the living room can be considered a small “house.” In other words, you can activate the entire house in the living room alone by the placement of particular objects and symbols.比如，客廳是可以考慮的一個小"家" ，換句話說，你可以激活整個房子裡，客廳裡單獨放置，尤其是物體和符號。 Bathrooms also play a crucial role in feng shui and their placement can often dictate the wealth, degree of marital happiness, or health of the occupants of a house.浴室也發揮了關鍵作用，在風水及佈局往往能支配財富，一定程度的婚姻幸福，或健康的佔用人的房子。 Bathrooms are very difficult to place correctly in a house, and for that reason, should always be treated with feng shui remedies.浴室是十分困難的地方，正確的一所房子，因為這個原因，要始終處理與風水補救措施。
