 art of feng shui

 

 

yin and yang   The Form School 

Concentrates on the observation of the environment inside and outside our homes.

Outside we focus on:

the four animals.. Animal Forms - the colors, - beauty and functionality of the environment Mountains, Rivers, Trees - neighboring buildings, streets etc.

Inside we focus on:

the pathways - the placement of furniture (again observing the four animals) walls, color schemes, windows and their placements etc.

 yin and yang The East and West School

Uses the personal Ming Gua to determine specific directions, such as your best sleeping direction, and your most productive working direction. The school uses the orientation based on a compass reading. Although a much more useful school than elementary Black Hat, this school is still missing an important part of traditional Feng Shui - the Time factor.

Mostly we use these formulas to find:

bed position - desk location and position - personalized best directions and - position buildings where the age is not available

 yin and yang Landscape Feng Shui

One important principal of Feng Shui comes from the Form School – the four celestial animals which are:

Black Turtle - White Tiger - Green Dragon - Red Phoenix

The four celestial animals are also used inside the house for furniture placement, office interior designs etc. What is true in the Macro Universe is also true in the Micro Universe.

 yin and yang Life Situation School

Using our personal Trigrams will help to determine our "best directions". This includes directions to sit or sleep in for maximum harmonious qi flow as well as positioning oneself in the office or to study etc.. This particular teaching can make a huge difference in performance, concentration and sleeping pattern.

1. The Earlier and Later Heaven Trigrams

2. Later Heaven Trigrams (location based) – East – West System

3. The Lo-Shu Flying Star System includes the time factor - Astrology and Cosmology Using a traditional Lo Pan to measure the directions and a whole system of formulas which take years of study to be mastered.

4. Geo biology and Geomancy (radiation from the Earth, Cosmos and Environment) using dowsing and EMF measurements

A geomancers recognize that where the earth is under its own stress it puts those of us who live in that zone, also under stress. When detecting geopathic stress, geomancers look for:

Geological faults, polluted underground water, negative geomagnetic zones, negative nexus points...And certain energies of human origin.

Also for Ley lines, psychic impressions, presences, psychometric impressions on objects... and the better known-Hartmann and Curry grid...

5. Water and Mountain Dragon Classics – Water Flows, Water Quality and Mountain formations These teachings take years to learn and understand. There are only a few qualified teachers in the world who pass this knowledge on to qualified students. 6. Graves and Burial Classics

This particular school is also called Yin House Feng Shui.

6. Spiritual Feng Shui

 yin and yang Yin and Yang School

The concept of Yin and Yang is mentioned everywhere in the industry, but few people really know the deeper meaning beyond. Feng Shui is a study of the environment that looks at the heavens, man and earth. The concept of Yin and Yang and the cycles associated with it are all part of this greater understanding.

There can be no understanding of what is Yin, if there is no counterpart of Yang. Therefore what is Yin for one situation, may not be Yin for another situation at all. We cannot look at the principle of Yin and Yang from just one side. Nothing is purely only one thing, Yin at its prime is the beginning of Yang.

So if you judge Yin and Yang, don't be fooled by rote rules, look at your individual situation, take a good observation of all sides of your problem and then discern what is Yin, what and where is Yang and how do they interact!

By the way this is one reason why offsite Feng Shui reports usually miss an important part of the picture!

The seed of Yang is inside Yin waiting to ascend into light and at Yangs prime, the seed of Yin emerges only to grow and start another cycle.

In the 24-hour cycle, Yang reaches its lightest at noon and Yin reaches its darkest at midnight.

In the yearly cycle, taking the 12 months, Yang reaches its prime in July and Yin reaches its prime in January.

Looking at directions, Yang at the prime on top is South. Yang is in the East and Yin is in the West. Yin is in prime in the North. - see chart above.

The point here is that in all the big and small cycles in our lifes, Yin and Yang represent constant change, just as time, seasons and directions change and it is balance of the two sides, not the fact that they are opposite.

 yin and yang Flying Stars School

One of the most advanced schools of Feng Shui is based on a compass reading including the building year of the home or office. Taking the time factor into consideration, the picture the Consultant now has is much more detailed. Using this system, a good Consultant can usually tell you exactly what has happened in the past and help you to avoid similar patterns in the future and harmonize the home for your general well being as well as financial security. Using this method the Consultant will suggest remedies based on the five elements (water, wood, fire, earth, and metal) to remedy energy imbalances.

It is considered the highest form of Feng Shui, and is also very complex to learn. Only a few Feng Shui Masters teach the Flying Stars method from bottom up with all the true reasoning and explanations. 

 yin and yang Advanced Water Dragon School

This is very advanced school and requires years of practice. It is very specialized and can fine-tune the Flying Star consultation.

 

 yin and yang Four Pillar Astrology

In accordance with the Feng Shui consultation, it is very helpful in problematic areas, if the Consultation has knowledge of the art of Chinese Astrology.
