Therefore, it’s possible to create positive outer conditions that help bring success and stop problems.T You can do this by setting up the correct feng shui inside your house and in your surroundings, particularly in important places where you will be over a long period of time. By considering the basic principles of feng shui, you can cure disturbing environments. All of this will help stop the problems that plague you and cause distress, and will help you to succeed in what you want: harmonious relationships, health, education, prosperity, and long life. Feng shui is an important way for people to improve their lives and help others. xi Preface: Seeing Is Believing e all search for happiness, and yet it can be so elusive. There is no shortage of problems in our lives and we are often too busy or preoccupied to find lasting solutions for them. In the whirlwind of our daily lives it can appear impossible to find a moment’sW peace in our minds; it seems that we can only respond to the most pressing demands that are placed on us. Small wonder then that the powerful but subtle energies that influence our lives pass unnoticed. There are many systems of belief that can help us to make sense of the crazy world in which we find ourselves. All the world’s major religious philosophies have a message of love, compassion, kindness, and peace at their heart. All are capable of bringing mental peace and happiness. However, they do not have any direct system of causing good fortune to ripen and preventing bad things from happening. The Chinese have studied the subtle environmental influences that surround us for thousands of years. Over that time they have developed a highly sophisticated system that deals with these subtle energies in such a way that good fortune is encouraged to ripen and bad fortune is avoided.

  • Tortoises, the I Ching and Magic Squares
    Tortoises, the I Ching and Magic Squares Progenitor of Life and Bringer of Wisdom In China the 4 cardinal points of the compass are related to ‘4 Celestial Animals’ . These are: the dragon of the east, the tiger of the west, the phoenix of the south and the tortoise of the north. Four Directions, Seasons and Celestial Animals In contrast to the dynamic qualities of the first three of these creatures, the humble tortoise is an animal that could easily go unnoticed, yet it is rich in symbolism, not just in China, but also across many lands. Numerous cross-cultural correlations can be seen to occur within this symbolism as we cross the globe. The tortoise has frequently been associated with the art of divination and is often credited with bringing to us the trigrams of the I Ching and also the idea of the Lo Shu magic square, which is much used in Feng Shui as well as in mystic sciences and sacred geometry throughout the world. 1 China In Chinese symbolism the tortoise represents the begin- ning of creation, time, longevity and wisdom. It is said that the Goddess of Creation – Nu Kua used the feet of the Cosmic Tortoise for the ‘4 Corners of the Earth’ and its shell for the ‘Vault of the Heavens’. Rarely is a distinction made between the tortoise and the turtle and together they are associated with the ele- ment of water, the season of winter and the direction of north – the direction of death / rebirth. The ability to slow down its body metabolism (apparently dying), dur- ing winter hibernation, and then awake renewed, reflect the death /rebirth association.

In recreational mathematics, a magic square of order 3 is an arrangement of 9 numbers, usually distinct integers, in a square, such that the 3 numbers in all rows, all columns, and both diagonals sum to the same constant: 15. A normal magic square contains the integers from 1 to 9. Magic Square – Useful Links http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lo_Shu_Square http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_square There are Virtual Cubes that can be virtually rotated and twisted on a computer screen and Real Cubes that can only be physically rotated and twisted by hand. A Texture is laid down on a Virtual Cube whereas real Stickers are stuck down on a Real Cube. A Magic Square Cube is designed by placing numbers on a texture which is then laid down on a Virtual Cube (see http://www.randelshofer.ch/ for more details). The following example shows the initial (solved) state of a Magic Cube. Arabic, eastern arabic, chinese, chinese (dàxiě), devanāgarī and roman numerals are shown on each of the 6 faces.

Divination And Deviation: The Problem Of Prediction And Personal Freedom In Early China Abstract The question I address in my dissertation relates to the conundrum of the prediction of fate in early China. How did the early Chinese people predict the future, and to what degree did they believe that the predicted future is inevitable? I examine the history of divination from the Shang to the Han dynasties to show that the belief in the power of anthropomorphic spirits weakened, and the universe was gradually conceived of as working in regular cycles. The decreasing reliance on the power of spirits during the Shang period is reflected in changes in bone divination. And divination texts from the Warring States period come to describe the movements of spirits as being completely regulated by cosmic cycles. This changed conception of the universe contributed to the formation of the idea of a predetermined fate. My analysis of various philosophical literature of the Warring States period shows how the meaning of the term ming changed from unpredictable events caused by superior powers to a predictable yet unalterable course of life.

Newkome ____________________________ Date ii ABSTRACT Grand Master Thomas Lin Yun and his American pupil, Sarah Rossbach, brought Feng Shui, the ancient Chinese art of placement, to the United States in the early 1980s. Their introduction of Feng Shui to the West opened doors for ordinary people to learn, practice, and adapt the art of Feng Shui. Traditional schools of Feng Shui, such as the Form School and the Compass School, continue to evolve. The newer Black Hat Sect and Pyramid Schools, however, have become the major versions of Feng Shui used in the United States. Traditional Feng Shui is a complex system that may involve years of study. Westerners have found Feng Shui interesting and intriguing, but Americans prefer quicker resolutions. Books, with titles such as Fast Feng Shui and 10-Minute Feng Shui, promote the idea that this Eastern concept can be implemented in a short time.

  • Introduction to Flying Star Feng Shui
    Introduction to Flying Star Feng Shui Xuan Kong Flying Star feng shui or Xuan Kong Fei Xing is one of disciplines in Feng Shui, and is an integration of the principles of Yin Yang, the interactions between the five elements, the eight trigrams, the Lo Shu numbers, and the 24 Mountains, by using time, space and objects to create an astrological chart to analyze positive auras and negative auras of a building. The main aspect of the Flying stars school of feng shui, the aspect that sets it apart from other feng shui schools is that it takes into consideration the time factor in order to create a chart of the present energies. The chart can be done on an annual, monthly, daily and even hourly basis and it shows the movement of both positive, as well as negative energies within any given space. The dynamic of the movement of feng shui stars is based on the pattern of numbers in the Lo Shu Square, an ancient divination tool. (Tchi, 2015) TIME It is important to learn about the locations of annual and monthly Flying Stars, reputed to be the most powerful systems in the study of Feng Shui. Annual stars stay in a sector for that year and shift to another sector in a predetermined pattern in the following year. Monthly stars change positions on a monthly basis, while daily stars change on a daily basis. Time in Flying Star Feng Shui is divided into 20-Year cycles. Each cycle of 20 years is a Period or “Yun”. A grand cycle comprises 9 Periods in total which covers a span of 180 years.
