Origin of Feng-shui
Feng Shui, the ancient "art of placement" (like Indian Vasthu-shastra) was originated in the breath taxingly beautiful mountainous regions & hills of the Middle Kingdom of China from where it spread in Japan, United Kingdom, India, Malaysia, Indonesia, Burma & Taiwan and in other parts of the world through informal & traditional mediums and well designed guidelines through formal literature Ancient Chinese people believed that the earth was filled with the supernatural powers like spirits The worlds everything there in it; cattle, animals, birds, plants, rocks and minerals, the waters, thunder, lightening and the mighty weather systems all carry wonderful cosmic power and energies They have the capacity to generate different positive & negative vibrations Feng Shui, the mystic science or the ancient Chinese art of achieving harmony through careful placement of objects, is finding followers in whole of the World These resources explore the influence of Feng Shui thinking on architecture and design the houses and other buildings with a special e mphasis on the interiors That why Interior Designers also intend to gain proper professional knowledge about Feng-Shui Since we spend many hours in our bedroom, more than we do in any other room Your personal focus should begin IN THE BEDROOM to create Serenity, auspicious circumstances and opportunities and imminent growth Lets start to create Serenity with The Door and the Greeter The door is where the energy (or Chi as known in CHINESE art of positioning & placement) enters your space A bedroom door needs to open completely (90 degrees /at a right angle) This represents the full allowance of fortuitous opportunities and good possibilities to come in Doors that open less than 90 symbolically means restricted of opportunities The Greeter is the first thing your eyes see when entering through the doorway in your bedroom You could strategically place something that energetically says nice things to you, such as a photo, a favorite quote, a painting, sculpture, flower vase or any symbol of welcome Feng shui is also called FENG-SHWAY means air & Water (In Indian terms Hava-Paani) is an ancient Chinese practice believed to use the Laws of Heaven as well as Earth to help us improve life by receiving positive chi The original designation for the discipline is Kan Yu that indicates heavenly pleasure and earthly comfort The words 'feng shui' literally means "wind & water"in English Most of today's feng shui schools teach that it is the practice of arranging different articles and objects, such as the internal positioning and placement of furniture in a premises to achieve harmony with one's environment It is also used for choosing a place to live and still others use it for agricultural planning Proponents claim that feng shui has an effect on health, wealth and personal relationships It is strictly against the clutters Clutter needs to be cleaned up to Create Serenity, to live efficiently and to function optimally Clutter keeps you in the past and does not allow forward progress Symbolically clutter represents all that is left undone in your life Tackle small projects at first, to avoid overwhelm Begin with a drawer or a portion of a closet Youll then be inspired to move on to the bureau and the entire closet & other cluttered areas Better organization empowers you Clear Energy Flow Feng and Shui mean Wind and Water which both have natural flows For your safety and well as for clear energy circulation, its best not to have an obstructed walk way Pick up shoes, bags, wires, and papers to assure good energy flow, ease of movement, a sense of organization & a serene place to rest .

International Institute of Vaidic CultureWhat opposite the door Often there is a window across the room directly aligned with your door This may mean that the energy that comes in and flies right out A cure for this would be to hang from the ceiling, a multifaceted crystal midway between the door and the window This will help the energy to stay in your space If a wall is opposite your door and the distance is shorter than you are tall, the cure would be to hang a mirror on that wall to help circulate the energy instead of having the energy hit a (brick) wall Ideal bed orientation The direction that your bed faces (as you sit up in bed & look over your feet upon waking), determines the command position This means you are in control or not! Don't worry about the absolute direction, like East north, etc The command position or power position just means that you are able to see the entrance/ bedroom door With a sense of Command, there lies serene assurance It is not good to be in direct alignment (feet pointing out the door ~the Chinese and other cultures say this is the death position~) If you cant move your bed so that you see the door, the cure is: to rig a mirror to enable yourself to see the door when you sit up in bed.

Try not to have a mirror opposite the foot of the bed Cure: it is better to place the mirror behind the bed or to its side This cure assures that you feel, serene & like yourself upon waking In your Bedroom, be careful not to sleep under an exposed beam in the ceiling~ a direct symbol of repression There is no serenity with direct oppression Cure: Move the bed, if you cant move the bed, place two Chinese flutes on the wall on either side of the bed to symbolically lift the oppressive energy Lay on your bed and see if you are in direct alignment with a poison arrow which is any sharp corner whose tangent is aimed and shoots ill energy toward your head.

There is no serenity while under attack Cure: move the bed or soften and camouflage the sharp corner So you see with this understanding and some work at cleaning up first, setting a scene of what represents quiet serene, calm and warm-fuzzy cultivation and then adding a few cures you can invite opportunities, enhance your power keep the good energy within,, and feel better about yourself and your serene surroundings.

Vaastu & Fengshui Craft Career Prospects
Gone are the days when Vaastu consultants were confined to the typical and traditional methodology of providing Vaastu guideline through surgical operation of full or partial building structure in order to reduce or remove negative vibrations This could be possible with a joint constructive contribution of Vaastu Shastra, Pyramidology, Home Remedies & Fengshui I take an opportunity to pay thanks to world-wide knowledge of similar therapies that have come closer during last 8-10 years to ease the process of turning negativities into positive vibrations Flying Star, Truthstar & pakua-star are the common names taken with reference to this Chinese art, by a common person.

During Vaastu visit-at-site, I find sufficient possibilities to control negative vibrations in a house, business premises, showroom or other similar structures through constructive Vaastu techniques and it is advised to further boost the Yang Chi (positive energy) through Fengshui, but when I start talking about remedies through Fengshui, the Chinese Vaastu, often I observe a silent question mark on the faces of my clients because for them it senses to be difficult to digest that there exists a similar or parallel science in other parts of the world like China, that deals with the interior designing and decoration and may suggest multiple remedies to energise the premises by diverting negativity, but I strongly believe that one must be open minded enough to accept and adopt global knowledge, if it can be helpful to us .

International Institute of Vaidic CultureSo far as the direction of knowledge is concerned, there is no difference of opinion between Vaastu, Fengshui & Pyramidology The Ishaan corner, located in the most auspicious direction ie North-east of the building premises is defined to be the corner of knowledge, wisdom & education Therefore in Vaastu Shastra it is advised to determine the study area in North-east, facing towards rising sun ie East or alternatively in North direction However, as soon as our child comes in higher classes and as parents we become more and more concerned about his/ her career, it shall be better to face in North In fengshui too, North direction is meant for career Besides setting the study table in the above cited directions, the real-crystal (clear crystal quartz or rose quartz) with perfect base & apex dimensions may shine the career prospects if placed in the North-east corner of the study table A small bowl of crystal glass may also be used for placing petty stationery items like rubber, pencil, colours etc but avoid using the same bowl for sharp-edged items like blades, pins, knife etc Vaastusolutions are also available with few vastuconsultants practicing the same for years together The other way to cure few vaastudefects are through Rudraksha-ratna, crystal Ratna, & pure gemology.

Vaastu suggests to keep your study area light and tidy Any suitable light colour like cream, off-white, pale-cream etc are the best suited colours for North-east Fengshui advises to place a dragon tortoise in the north direction of study room, which may further boost career prospects The word CAREER is not limited to students only but for each person it is perfectly meaningful I appreciate the ambitious guys who are always caring for their better future prospects For them, career means excellent business achievements, promotion, trade recognition, identity, goodwill of boss as well as colleagues It also concerns about climbing up career ladder with success through perseverance and other possible creative & constructive means.

Fengshui practice – in all over the world
Introduction
Early feng shui relied on astronomy to find correlations between humans and the universe and it is inseparable from an understanding of political power in premodern China Chinese often used the celestial poles determined by the pole stars to determine the north-south axis of settlements This technique explains why Shang palaces at Xiaotun lie 10° east of due north In some cases, as Paul Wheatley observed, they bisected the angle between the directions of the rising and setting sun to find north This technique provided the more precise alignments of the Shang walls at Yanshi Currently Early Yanshao and Hongshan cultures provide the earliest evidence for feng shui Professor David Pankenier and his associates reviewed astronomical data for the time of the Banpo dwellings (4000 BCE) to show that the asterism Yingshi (Lay out the Hall, in the Warring States period and early Han era) corresponded to the sun's location at this time Centuries before, the asterism Yingshi was known as Ding It was used to indicate the appropriate time to build a capital city, according to the Shijing Apparently an astronomical alignment ensured that Banpo village homes were sited for solar gain.

The grave at Puyang (radiocarbon dated 5,000 BP) that contains mosaics of the Dragon and Tiger constellations and Beidou (Dipper) is similarly oriented along a north-south axis The presence of both round and square shapes in the Puyang tomb, and at Hongshan culture ceremonial centers, suggests that the gaitian cosmography (heaven-round, earth-square) was present in Chinese society long before it appeared in the Zhou Bu Suan Jing. Cosmography that bears a striking resemblance to modern feng shui compasses (and computations) were found on a jade unearthed at Hanshan (c 3000 BCE) The design is linked by Li Xueqin to the liuren astrolabe, zhinan zhen, and Luopan. All capital cities of China followed rules of Feng Shui for their design and layout These rules were codified during the Zhou era in the Kaogong ji (traditional Chinese: simplified Chinese: "Manual of Crafts") Rules for builders were codified in the carpenter's manual Lu ban jing (traditional Chinese: simplified Chinese: "Lu ban's manuscript") Graves and tombs also followed rules of Feng Shui From the earliest records, it seems that the rules for the structures of the graves and dwellings were the same.

History
International Institute of Vaidic CultureA feng shui spiral at LA Chinatown's Metro station
Emperor Di Ku was said to dabble in astronomy Shun consulted the stars before he assumed the throne There were feng shui devices before the invention of the magnetic compass, which occurred comparatively late in the long history of feng shui According to the Zhouli the original device may have been a gnomon, although Yao, Huangdi, and other figures were said to possess devices such as the south-pointing chariot.
As Derek Walters observed, "The luopan was originally a scientific instrument, used for astronomical observation" The oldest excavated examples of instruments used for feng shui are liuren astrolabes These consist of a lacquered, two-sided board with astronomical sightlines Liuren astrolabes have been unearthed from tombs that date between 278 BC and 209 BC The markings are virtually unchanged from the astrolabe to the first magnetic compasses

Since the invention of the magnetic compass for use in Feng Shui, some feng shui disciplines require the use of a compass This compass could be a Luopan (Chinese Feng Shui compass of the types San Yuan, San He, and Zong He) or one of the earlier versions such as a south-pointing spoon (zhinan zhen).

The history of the Luopan compass takes us back to the Zhou dynasty (770-476 BCE), when emperor Shing combined the knowledge of the compass with that of the I-ching The compass consists of a magnetic needle that point towards magnetic north not true north The foundation of the I-ching is in the trigrams

The trigrams are the set of three broken and/or solid lines that you typically find around a Chinese mirror.

In Traditional Compass techniques these trigrams determine the divination of fortune The traditional Luopan has 36 rings of information These trigrams occupy the first circle of the luopan How these rings line up with the compass and the combination of the reading of these rings determines your fortune.

Foundation theories
The goal of feng shui as practiced today is to situate the human built environment on spots with good qi The "perfect spot" is a location and an axis in time Some areas are not suitable for human settlement and should be left in their natural state.

Some current techniques can be traced to Neolithic China, while others were added in later times (most notably the Han dynasty, the Tang, the Song, and the Ming) Today, to determine a perfect spot, local manifestations of qi must be assessed for quality Quality is determined by observations and by using a compass (Luopan).

Qi or ch'i
Qi is a difficult word to translate and is usually left untranslated Literally the word means "air" In feng shui, "Qi" means "flow of energy" Max Knoll suggested in a 1951 lecture that qi is a form of solar radiation "Qi", when used to describe martial arts, refers to internal or physical energy In Feng Shui, however, the word is used to mean natural energy.

A Loupan is used to determine many things One of those being to detect the direction of the flow of qi Compasses reflect local geomagnetism which includes geomagnetically induced currents caused by space weather It could be said that feng shui assesses the quality of the local environment and the effects of space weather -- that is, feng shui is qimancy, or qi divination. Beliefs from the Axial Age, feng shui among them, hold that the heavens influence life on Earth This seems preposterous to many people, yet space weather exists and can have profound effects on technology (GPS, power grids, pipelines, communication and navigation systems, surveys), and the internal orienting faculties of birds and other creatures. Atmospheric scientists have suggested that space weather creates fluctuations in market prices.

Polarity
Polarity is expressed in feng shui as Yin and Yang Polarity expressed through yin and yang is similar to a bipolar magnetic field, that is, it is of two parts one creating an exertion and one receiving the exertion yang acting on the passive yin one giving while the other receiving, pitcher & catcher The scope of what this principle can be applied to is meant to be limitless as an expression of a universal theory applying to everything The elements of feng-shui (water,wood,fire,earth,metal) are all elaborations of yin & yang yin being water fire being yang, and metal and wood being the action of giving(wood) or receiving(metal) Earth is an equilibrium achieved when the polarities mix and cancel each other out, creating balance This is why feng-shui is said to be about balance.

International Institute of Vaidic CultureMagnetic north and Luopan compass
The stability of Magnetic North is critical for the accuracy of reading your fortune with a compass Earth has an electromagnetic field Our solar sun also has an electromagnetic field Our solar sun goes through 11 year cycles of solar fluctuations called solar flares that create solar wind In 2003 two of the strongest flares ever were recorded This solar wind creates a vibration that disturbs the electromagnetic field of the earth.

Magnetic North and True North (the Earth axis) are not the same Magnetic North moves an average of 40 kilometers every year In the last 100 years Magnetic North has moved approximately 1200 kilometers.

Bagua (Symbols of the eight directions)
Two diagrams known as bagua (or pa kua) loom large in feng shui, and both predate their mentions in the Yijing or I Ching The Lo (River) Chart (Luoshu, or Later Heaven Sequence) and the River Chart (Hetu, or Early Heaven Sequence) are linked to astronomical events of the sixth millennium BCE, and with the Turtle Calendar from the time of Yao The Turtle Calendar of Yao (found in the Yaodian section of the Shangshu or 'Book of Documents') dates to 2300 BCE, plus or minus 250 years.

It seems clear from many sources that time, in the form of astronomy and calendars, is at the heart of feng shui.

In Yaodian, the cardinal directions are determined by the marker-stars of the mega-constellations known as the Four Celestial Animals.

East: the Bluegreen Dragon (Spring equinox) --- Niao (Bird), α Hydrae
South: the Red Bird (Summer solstice) --- Huo (Fire), α Scorpionis
West: the White Tiger (Autumn equinox) --- Xu (Emptiness, Void), α Aquarii, β Aquarii
North: the Dark (Mysterious) Turtle (Winter solstice) --- Mao (Hair), η Tauri (the Pleiades)

The bagua diagrams are also linked with the sifang (four directions) method of divination used during the Shang dynasty The sifang is much older, however It was used at Niuheliang, and figured large in Hongshan culture's astronomy And it is this area of China that is linked to Huangdi, the Yellow Emperor, who allegedly invented the south-pointing spoon.

Fundamental techniques

School in Feng Shui:
A school in Feng Shui terminology is a technique The term should not be confused with the physical school There are many 'masters' of the different Feng shui schools However, some maintain that authentic masters impart their genuine knowledge of Feng shui only to selected students. Early fundamentals.

The history of feng shui covers at least 3,500 years before the invention of the magnetic compass, therefore defining authentic feng shui as having a "compass school" and a "form school" misses the point.
Feng Shui developed thousands of years ago in little villages of the Orient It was called Folk Feng Shui Their livelihoods were dependent on it They studied the formations of the land and ways of the wind & water to determine the best setting for their survival Good Feng Shui would produce bountiful harvest, healthy livestock and abundant life Harsh winds would destroy their crops, leaving no food for their family and their animals Violent storms would tear down their homes and villages.

The elements, water, rain, wind, fog, sun were believed to be the energy of heaven and earth These shaman-kings had knowledge of landforms and weather, that could drive back the elements that threaten a village This divinization of land forms was the beginning and foundation of Feng Shui.
Landform Technique is the fundamental basis of feng shui Compass Feng Shui originated after Landform techniques Compass Feng Shui uses the compass and magnetic north for all of its readings.

International Institute of Vaidic CultureIn his fieldwork in China, Ole Bruun noted that these ancient methods of feng shui all used a compass'Traditional' and 'Classical' feng shui is what is practiced and taught in Asia today and while both do use a compass and base their theories and applications on their understandings of Chinese literature about feng shui it is not the methods of ancient feng shui masters.

Combining techniques
Classical feng shui is typically associated with the following techniques This is not a complete list; it is merely a list of the most common techniques.
  • Bagua (relationship of the five phases or wuxing)
  • Five phases (wuxing relationships)
  • Xuan Kong (time and space methods)
  • Xuan Kong Fei Xing (Flying Stars methods of time and directions)
  • Xuan Kong Da Gua ("Secret Decree" or 64 gua relationships)
  • Xuan Kong Shui Fa (time and space water methods)
  • Zi Bai (Purple-White Flying Stars methods)
  • Ba Zhai (Eight Mansions)
  • San Yuan Dragon Gate Eight Formation
  • Major & Minor Wandering Stars
  • San He Luan Dou (24 Mountains, Mountain-Water relationships)
  • San He Shui Fa (water methods)
  • Qimen Dunjia (Eight Doors and Nine Stars methods)
  • Zi wei dou shu (Purple King, 24-star astrology)
Modern developments
One of the grievances mentioned when the anti-Western Boxer Rebellion broke out was that Westerners were violating the basic principles of Feng shui in their construction of railroads and other conspicuous public structures throughout China At the time, Westerners had little idea of, or interest in, such Chinese traditions.

Since Richard Nixon journeyed to The People's Republic of China in 1972, there has been substantial interest in the subject of feng shui by Westerners It has been reinvented by New Age entrepreneurs for Western consumption Feng shui speaks to the profound role of magic, mystery, and order in American life.

The following list does not exhaust the varieties.

Black Sect
Incorporated as a US church in 1984, with temples in California and New York (The church deviates from what is known of the history of Tantrism in China). This new version of Feng Shui was invented in the early 1980s by Thomas Lin Yun Rinpoche who came to the US from Taiwan Called Black Sect (or Black Sect Tantric Buddhist, or BTB) Feng Shui, it relies on "transcendental" methods, the concept of clutter as metaphor for life circumstances, and the use of affirmations or intentions (what some deride as "happy talk") BTB Feng Shui has a unique and specially created bagua, with each of the eight compass segment directions representing a particular area of one's life.

Shen Dao Feng Shui - Developed in the late '70's by Harrison GKyng.

Shen Dao style became the first school of its type in the UK Based upon both 'Form' and 'Compass' styles, Shen Dao utilises the Five Element modality to assess its clients health as well as their buildings harmony This relationship is said to create a unique 'viewpoint' that can then be used to create a greater sense of harmony both inwardly and outwards Shen Dao's unique compass uses the former heavenly sequence and expands the Ba Gua into over 300 harmonics that help to fine tune its results.

Criticism
Till now Fengshui is being very popular in many countries, not only because of its advantages bu also in order to use beautiful items in the house, which, of course are easily available in the market. In India too one may find certain pretty articles to be decorated inside the living room or bedroom. But Victorian-era commentators on feng shui were generally ethnocentric, and as such skeptical and derogatory of what they knew of feng shui.

International Institute of Vaidic CultureIn 1896 at a meeting of the Educational Association of China, Rev PW Pitcher railed at the "rottenness of the whole scheme of Chinese architecture," and urged fellow missionaries "to erect unabashedly Western edifices of several stories and with towering spires in order to destroy nonsense about fung-shuy"Some modern Christians have a similar opinion of feng shui It is entirely inconsistent with Christianity to believe that harmony and balance result from the manipulation and channeling of nonphysical forces or energies, or that such can be done by means of the proper placement of physical objects Such techniques, in fact, belong to the world of sorcery.

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, feng shui has been officially deemed as a "feudalistic superstitious practice" and a "social evil" according to the state's atheistic Communist ideology and discouraged or even outright banned at times. Persecution was the most severe during the Cultural Revolution, when feng shui was classified as a custom under the so-called Four Olds to be wiped out Feng shui practitioners were beaten and abused by Red Guards and their works burned After the death of Mao Zedong and the end of the Cultural Revolution, the official attitude became more tolerant but restrictions on feng shui practice are still in place in today's China It is illegal in the PRC today to register feng shui consultation as a business and similarly advertising feng shui practice is banned, and there have been frequent crackdowns on feng shui practitioners on the grounds of "promoting feudalistic superstitions" such as one in Qingdao in early 2006 when the city's business and industrial administration office shut down an art gallery converted into a feng shui practice Communist officials who had consulted feng shui were sacked and expelled from the Communist Party. Partly because of the Cultural Revolution, in today's PRC less than one-third of the population believe in feng shui, and the proportion of believers among young urban PRC Chinese is said to be much less than 5% Among all the ethnic Chinese communities the PRC has the least number of feng shui believers in proportion to the general population Learning feng shui is considered taboo in today's China Nevertheless, it is reported that feng shui has gained adherents among Communist Party officials according to a BBC Chinese news commentary in 2006, and since the beginning of Chinese economic reforms the number of feng shui practitioners are increasing A number of Chinese academics permitted to research on the subject of feng shui are anthropologists or architects by trade, studying the history of feng shui or historical feng shui theories behind the design of heritage buildings, such as Cao Dafeng, the Vice-President of Fudan University, and Liu Shenghuan of Tongji University.

Feng Shui practitioners have been skeptical of claims and methods in the "cultural supermarket" Mark Johnson made a telling point:

This present state of affairs is ludicrous and confusing Do we really believe that mirrors and flutes are going to change people's tendencies in any lasting and meaningful way? There is a lot of investigation that needs to be done or we will all go down the tubes because of our inability to match our exaggerated claims with lasting changes.

A travelogue-type article from the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry explained feng shui initially as "a commonsense alignment of structures to conform to the shape of the land, an idea shared by any sensible architect in a land fraught with typhoons and torrential rains" However, after reading two books (one by field researcher Ole Bruun), the writer's conclusion was that feng shui "is more of a mystical belief in cosmic harmony"
Penn & Teller did an episode of their television show Bullshit! that featured several Feng Shui practitioners in the US, and was highly critical of the inconsistent (and frequently odd) advice In the show, the entertainers argue that if Feng Shui is a science (as some claim), it should feature a consistent methodology.

People have reacted skeptically towards the alleged benefits of crystals, wind chimes, table fountains, and mirrored balls, etc, on one's life, finances, and relationships Often, these claims are dismissed as New Age, pseudoscience, relying on the placebo effect, or even outright fraud.

Current research in this direction
A modern feng shui fountain at Taipei 101, Taiwan.
A growing body of research exists on what is now called "traditional" or "classical" feng shui.
Landscape ecologists find traditional feng shui an interesting study In many cases, the only remaining patches of old forest in Asia are "feng shui woods," which strongly suggests the "healthy homes," sustainability and environmental components of ancient feng shui techniques should not be easily dismissed.
Environmental scientists and landscape architects have researched traditional feng shui and its methodologies.
Architectural schools study the principles as they applied to ancient vernacular architecture.
Geographers have analyzed the techniques and methods to help locate historical sites in Victoria, Canada, and archaeological sites in the American Southwest, concluding that ancient Native Americans considered astronomy and landscape features.

Whether it is data on comparisons to scientific models, or the design and siting of buildings, graduate and undergraduate students have been accumulating solid evidence on what researchers call the "exclusive Chinese cultural achievement and experience in architecture" that is feng shui.

Modern Usage
Architects in Sydney and Hong Kong were surveyed by researchers regarding their selection of the environment for a building and interior layout The architects generally concurred with the ideal feng shui model.

International Institute of Vaidic CultureThe hospitality industry has documented the expensive retrofits members must undertake when accommodations were not designed with feng shui principles in mind.

It has been suggested that Prince Charles of Wales and Donald Trump have used feng shui.
News Corporation consulted feng shui experts regarding the headquarters offices of DirecTV after News Corp acquired that company in 2003.

Cowboy Bebop featured an episode called "Boogie Woogie Feng Shui" which centered around a daughter's search for her father, a Feng Shui master By using Feng Shui principles and the use of of a luopan coupled with some sci-fi elements, the Bebop crew help locate the master in an unexpected place.
