Chi is sometimes described as the cosmic breath, or as the vital principle. It is the essence of the principles of heaven and earth, of time and space, and therefore of all
relative phenomena, it is the force of change and transformation. Man has started living in confined spaces and has forgotten the power of this energy that flows through every thing. Chi is displayed in
the circling of the heavens, the seasons and weather patterns, the changes in our bodies, emotions, and thoughts, and the changes of our affairs and fortunes. Everything breaths and moves in accord with it.
As Chi is the cosmic breath, the Cosmos, or Universe, is that which breathes. This cosmic breath courses through time, space, heaven and earth.
It is now a widely accepted notion that the 'spirit' or
atmosphere of a place has an effect on our well-being.
Styles and schools of feng shui used by me.
The Four styles used by me are the:
Form School
Eight House Method
Flying Star School
9 Star Ki Method
The basic principles of all schools is of how energy moves, Yin and Yang, the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams.
The Compass determines the
directions in a home or room. The influence of specific features are assessed on the basis of their direction from the middle of the room. Nine Ki astrology is used to understand the influence of the timing and
direction of moving home and the ideal time to make changes. The charts of the occupants also have an effect.
In the Eight House Method the front door of the house and its compass directions determine the
nature of the eight segments within the building. Using the 9 Ki charts the suitability of each segment for each individual is determined.
The Flying Star ( Time Dimension) method uses a compass bearing of
the front door of the building to orientate its own birth chart, found from the construction date or the date when it was refurbished or extended. The effect of the building's features and surroundings on the birth
chart are assessed, and likely problems for the coming years or months anticipated. This type of feng shui addresses the changes health, wealth and luck over time. This is a very advanced method, adding the vital
dynamics of the time factor. Making use of the good periods and avoiding the bad is the art of Flying Star Feng Shui.
