Feng Shui is the ancient Chinese art of manipulating and arranging your surroundings to attract positive life energy, or Chi, so that it flows smoothly, unblocking any obstructions in your body and environment. Feng Shui evolved from the theory that people are affected for better or worse by their surroundings. Literally translated, Feng means wind and Shui means water.
The ancient Chinese believed that ghosts could travel only in straight lines. This may seem strange to modern-day Westerners but when the ancient Chinese built bridges that zigzagged this was the reason. They believed this prevented ghosts from crossing the bridge.
Shars are any straight lines or angles that are pointed directly toward your home. If there is a road running directly toward your front door, as in the case of a cul-de-sac or dead-end street, it is considered extremely unlucky. Many Chinese believe that this situation beckons ghosts or evil spirits into your home.
Feng Shui has remedies to deal with shars and other disruptive energy in your home. Shars are only there if you can see them. For instance, shars do not exist if you have trees in front of your house blocking your view of the road running straight toward your front door. Without the presense of these trees, negative energy would be free to flow directly through the entrance to your home. Feng Shui relies heavily on the use of trees and plants to mitigate the problem of shars.
