The Practice of Classical Feng Shui

In practicing Classical Feng Shui, it involves one main key factor. And that is the harnessing of Qi.

Qi actually is the force of nature that surrounds and permeates the land. The purpose of Feng Shui

is to attract and to pull the Qi to circulate it in and around the property. It is very important in the

practice of Feng Shui to know what does a person want to achieve.

Feng Shui is defined between the forces of Heaven and Earth. This does not mean that Feng Shui is

dealing with any superstition. This actually refers to how planet Earth orbits around the Sun and

during these orbits over the millenniums our planet is actually exposed to different constellations in

the sky.

The main constellation is the 28 Constellation. They are star clusters that are divided into 12

Palaces or is more commonly known as the 12 Animal Signs. More technically it is called the

Yellow Belt.

In different Palaces when our planet orbits the Sun, it is exposed to different star forms. And

throughout the thousands of years there has been a magnetic pull between these star forms and the

earth. After these magnetic pulls mountains and water is formed. This is called Yin and Yang.

Heaven is Yang and Earth is Yin. In the old manuscripts, Heaven is defined as the stars in the sky.

Mountain forms have been shaped over the millenniums and from these various forms waterways

are created. That is why in ancient books it says why mountains and water influence the land.

Mountain forms have star names. It is the birthplace for Qi. Mountain is Yin whereas water is

Yang. Yin represents stillness while on the other hand Yang represents movements. Different types

of mountain forms give birth to different types of Qi in the environment. These Qi will flow and

stop at the boundaries of water. The wind plays a part in dispersing the Qi. A place that has strong

winds constantly will not have good Feng Shui as the Qi there is easily dispersed.

Two things that need to be taken into consideration in harnessing the Qi of a property are the

direction as well as the location of Qi. The other thing is what type of people is in the house. A

person’s life gua or personal element plays an important part in a person’s Feng Shui. This is more

commonly known as matching a person to the house.

Feng Shui for each individual is different. That is why it is important to know which sector in the

house is good for a person and which direction they can tap into.

The misconception of Classical Feng Shui

Classical Feng Shui does not involve the need to restructure the house. The misconception of Feng

Shui is that it is very much related to Chinese culture or beliefs is not true. Feng Shui deals with 3

types of Luck – Heaven Luck, Earth Luck and People Luck. The practice of Classical Feng Shui is

all to do with where the property is, which direction it is facing, which room a person is facing and

most importantly, what do you really want.
