Compass Flying Star feng shui evaluates a property from the perspectives of time and time periods, but we must also never forget to use the Sarn He’ landscape formulas as these enable us to analyze the impact of nearby buildings. Eight Mansions feng shui adds the personal dimension and from this formula it is possible to identify directions and sectors that are particularly beneficial or harmful to individuals.
Compass feng shui is very comprehensive
Compass feng shui incorporates the study of numerology (the meanings of numbers and combinations of numbers), the powerful symbolic effect of the five elements, the two Pa Kua arrangements of trigrams, as well as some hitherto very well kept secrets of the feng shui compass itself.
Many feng shui masters acknowledge Compass Flying Star feng shui to be one of the most powerful systems of feng shui that has come down the centuries intact. Because of its potency, and its great reliance on numbers analysis, flying star, like the Luo Pan, can be daunting. In reality, this method of feng shui analysis is not difficult – indeed, as with all of the other schools and principle methods of feng shui, it becomes very easy once you understand the fundamental basis of the formula. Good feng shui works very fast in making your space feel more embracing and more harmonious. Feng shui has the potency to bring an easier life of abundance. But the element of personal effort can never be over stressed. When feng shui brings opportunities you still have to work at making something of those opportunities. Feng shui does ensure there are fewer obstacles in your life. It does bring better, more fulfilling relationships as well, and there are greater successes and higher incomes awaiting your efforts … using the compass methods leaves less room for mistakes because the techniques are specific and precise.
It is worthwhile investing time and effort in learning Compass feng shui because once you know how to use the different methods, you will amaze yourself with how proficient you can become at this ancient way of living in harmony with the environment. Flying Star feng shui takes the guesswork out of feng shui. Eight mansions personalizes your practice. The compass enables you to get the best of feng shui at all times.
You do not need to invest in a Luo Pan – a genuine and authentic Luo Pan is expensive. The charts in this book have all the information and knowledge you require to practice Yang feng shui. What you do need is a good ordinary compass. If you live in seismic area (for example, California) you will need a heavy-duty compass to get accurate readings. Otherwise any compass should be adequate. If you wish, you might find it useful to get a compass with the 24 sub-directions marked in. Armed with the compass, the formulas, and a clear mind, you can start immediately. Good luck!
1. ORIGINS OF THE LUO PAN COMPASS
AN AUTHENTIC CHINESE FENG SHUI LUO PAN IS ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFULLY CRAFTED INSTRUMENTS IN THE WORLD. IT IS AN EXTRAORDINARILY PRECISE COMPASS THAT CONTAINS A TREASURE TROVE OF FENG SHUI FORMULAS AND SECRETS. THESE ENABLE THE SERIOUS PRACTITIONER TO TAKE PRECISE READINGS OF THE ORIENTATION OF ANY BUILDING OR PROPERTY AND, IF THEY KNOW HOW TO READ AND INTERPRET THE MARKINGS, OFFER INSTANT DIAGNOSIS AND SOLUTIONS.
Feng shui afflictions take different forms under a whole melange of circumstances and orientations. These afflictions can be caused by physical structures within the vicinity of the landscape, the orientation of the building’s doors and entrances, or simply the energy changes of time. All these and more can be decoded from the information contained within the Luo Pan. The markings on the Luo Pan give immediate correlations of every degree of orientation thereby pinpointing to the user under which method or formula there might be a feng shui problem.
How did the Luo Pan originate?
A colorful Chinese legend tells of a beautiful Goddess, known as the Lady of the Nine Heavens, who gave the Luo Pan compass to the Yellow Emperor and revealed to him the secret knowledge of how to use this special tool. Using the Luo Pan, the Yellow Emperor succeeded in defeating his enemies. In the ensuing centuries the compass device was progressively enhanced by the Duke of Chou, his son King Wen, and his grandson. The knowledge of the compass was combined with that of the Book of Changes, the I Ching, and, in the process, concepts of worldly and divine clairvoyance were established. Thus was formulated what would eventually become the fundamental underpinnings of the science of feng shui, a combination of all the knowledge of heaven and earth. As a tool, the Luo Pan was used in unison with the I Ching, which had by then been condensed into the eight-sided symbol called the Pa Kua.
Each Kua of the eight-sided Pa Kua symbol represents one major direction of the compass. And on each side is arranged the eight primary trigrams. These trigrams are placed in different arrangements thereby creating the Pa Kua of the Early Heaven arrangement and the Pa Kua of the Later Heaven arrangement. Both these arrangements appear in all Luo Pans. At the same time, the Lo Shu and Ho Tu squares were discovered and the numbers of these two numerology sequences were also synthesized into the Pa Kua and into the Luo Pan.
As a feng shui tool, the Luo Pan has been in use since the time of the Yellow Emperor around 2700 BC. It was initially used as a compass for taking directions before being refined into a complicated instrument for analyzing the landscape. Basically the Luo Pan was used to decipher the directional forces of nature and their bearing on the luck of abodes and their residents. Through the centuries and under different dynasties of imperial rule, the practice of feng shui has waxed and waned, but the Luo Pan evolved to contain the different formulas developed by different prominent masters during succeeding dynastic rules. Feng shui masters through the ages condensed their valuable observations and discoveries into working formulas, and their precious knowledge was engraved into the Luo Pan, to be passed down to their disciples.
During the Sung dynasty the lineage of transmission of divinatory sciences from one recognized master to the next was carefully chronicled. These transmissions included feng shui. In those times recognized experts were highly esteemed and feng shui practice flourished. The next dynasty significant to the story of feng shui was that of the Ming dynasty. During this time, feng shui developed new styles and orientations – rules were simplified and mountains, rivers, and stones were reclassified. Time cycles of feng shui were said to have been “invented” at this time, with the introduction of the Sarn Yuan (three periods or three cycles) system. Each cycle lasted 60 years, made up of three cycles of 20 years. This was to eventually become the basis of the Flying Star system of feng shui, which is gaining increasing popularity today, perpetuated by masters of the Compass schools. Flying Star formulas found their way into the feng shui Luo Pan which, during the Ming period, also expanded from 17 to 36 rings. In the late Ming, however, feng shui took on a bad name СКАЧАТЬ
