principles of harmony. The main objective of Feng Shui is to harmonize
our surroundings with the universal creative force known as Chi.
Each year is made up of twelve months and during every month there
are moments in which the force of Chi is vigorous and other times
when this force is weaker. It is akin to human breathing. Knowledge
of the rhythms and the polarities of the forces of Yin and Yang
is fundamental in creating harmonious surroundings.
