3000 years ago, Emperor Fuxi created the 8 original triograms and thus laid the foundation for Feng Shui. In fact, the two elements contained in it were based on the application of opposing principles that complement each other: the yin and the yan (female energy, shadow … / male energy, light …)

Here are a few details that you should keep in mind in your apartment:

The location of your bed is crucial for success in your life, even in love. In any case, it is not advisable to sleep in a bed every night that has been given to you or is still from the landlords of your home or house.
