Feng Shui music is based on the main theories of 5 Chinese tones and a principle called Yi ching. The purpose of feng shui music is to improve the lives of its listeners through the energy released by sound. How this works is feng shui musicians believe that the 5 elements of the earth correspond to 5 main organs in the body such as the spleen, liver, lungs, heart, and kidneys. Not only d the 5 earth and organ elements correspond, they also respond to 5 musical modes called kung,shang, cheuh, jyy, and you. The modes use musical elements such as melody, rhythm, intensity, instruction, and texture to benefit the human body by improving the function of the organs by making them work more efficiently.
