Feng Shui

Feng Shui​ is an ancient Chinese practice that arranges spaces to harmonize people with their environment. It is based on the flow of Qi(life energy) and the balance of Yin-Yang​ and the Five Elements. By optimizing the placement of furniture, doors, and objects relative to direction and layout, Feng Shui aims to attract good luck, health, and prosperity while avoiding negative energy.

Face Reading

Chinese Face Reading, known as Xiang Shu or Physiognomy, is an ancient practice that interprets a person's character, health, and destiny by observing facial features—such as the eyes, nose, mouth, forehead, and jaw—as well as their shape and proportions. It is rooted in the concepts of Yin-Yang and the Five Elements, based on the belief that inner nature and life tendencies are reflected in one's appearance.

Palmistry

Chinese Palmistry​ (Shou Xiang) is a key branch of traditional physiognomy that decodes a person’s fate, health, and character by examining the palm. Rooted in Yin-Yang​ and the Five Elements, every line, mound, and finger shape corresponds to an element or internal organ. A core concept is the distinction between the hands: the left​ reflects innate potential (what you are born with), while the right​ reveals developed destiny (what you make of it).
