Feng
Shui – the name comes from the Chinese words for wind and water
– has been practised traditionally for thousands of years in
China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia and in
Chinese-speaking communities all over the world, but there are
similar practices elsewhere. Vietnam has Phong Thuy, Thailand has
Hong Sui, and India has Vaastu Shastra. Something similar can also
be found in Tibet, the Philippines, Indonesia, Japan, and Hawaii.
In recent years Feng Shui has become very fashionable in the West.
Many pop stars, film stars, and politicians are claiming an
interest. There are even different schools of Feng Shui. In the
West the two main schools are: Traditional Chinese Compass School
Feng Shui, Black Hat Sect Tantric Buddhist Feng Shui.
Common to both schools are some symbols. For example, the Pa Kua
symbol is considered the most important symbol of Feng Shui. It is
an eight-sided figure used as a protective symbol. Many people
hang the Pa Kua above their main doors on the outside of their
homes to ward off misfortune. The Pa Kua has many other uses in
Feng Shui.
There are many detailed rules in Feng Shui, and it can take years
to master this art, whichever school you decide to follow. But

Calculating
your Sheng Ch'i or "Best Direction"
Calculating your Sheng Ch'i
helps you to check your positive direction based on your birth
date. Ch'i means breath. How this breath flows through us and our
environment can influence our lives in a positive or negative way.
You want to encourage the Ch'i to flow more freely.
