Introduction

Feng Shui is thought of as the art of arranging your home and office space in such a way to maximize the positive energy and diminish the negative energy. Through the specific placement of objects and spatial arrangement of furniture, you are able to generate the good energy or ch´i and dispel the negative energy. Ch´i is an invisible life force and is the most important energy force in the Taoist belief system.

Feng Shui is a Taoist art that determines the pattern of ch´i or energy, and attempts to correct the flow to maximize the potential of those living or working in the environment. The proper application of objects will make life more balanced, harmonious, and prosperous.

There are two main kinds of Feng Shui; the Traditional Chinese Compass School (TCS) and the Black Sect Tantric Buddhism School (BSB). Black Sect Buddhism is often thought to be easier to use as it does not require the use of a compass or knowledge of geometry. BSB stresses relative rather than absolute placements and focuses on the individuals intuition with regards to their homes energy system as the most important aspect. BSB was developed by Thomas Lin Yun 15 years ago and was intended for the western world in mind, making it more useful for North Americans, South Americans and Europeans to utilize.
