Pronounced as "fung shway".
The objective is to achieve harmony with nature by positioning objects and structures such as buildings, rooms, furniture and gardens to be in sympathy with the flow of earth's energy. Practitioners search for lines of qi in the environment, and use these lines to enhance the balance of nature in the area for the benefit of the people there, who should enjoy increased prosperity, good health, and happiness.

Practitioners claim Feng Shui is not a religion. Technically, it is a form of geomancy.
