Environmental metaphysics is the metaphysical exploration of environments and their impact on people and animals. Metaphysics in this case is used in the newer use of the term "subjects which are beyond the physical world." Much of what is currently being used in the field of environmental metaphysics is being labeled
Feng Shui. Feng Shui is the Chinese term for Chinese practices made popular in the 1990s in the US during the initial trend of exploring the metaphysical effects of Design. In fact, however, many of the practices are derived from a number of other countries including
India (
Vaastu Shastra),
Japan (
Kaso),
Europe (
Geomancy), Native American and African
Shamanic views and ritual practices, as well as
Balinese methods and view of space clearing,
Hindu views on
prana, and
Tibetan Buddhist principles and practices.
