Feng Shui

Feng Shui (Chinese 風水, "wind-water") is a millennia-old Chinese art of harmonizing energy (qi) in spaces — homes, offices, gardens, cities — through the placement of objects, directions and use of the 5 elements (wood, fire, earth, metal, water). Documented practice since the Han dynasty (206 BC - 220 AD), originally for site selection of tombs and palaces.

Main schools

  • Compass School — directions and bagua.
  • BTB (Black Sect Tantric Buddhism) — Western modern, adapted by Lin Yun (1986).
