Introduction

Feng Shui, literally "wind water", is a Chinese art that involves the study of orienting one's home, business, or grave site with the external environment in order to enjoy a beneficial relationship with the natural forces that help shape our fates.

Developed from Chinese metaphysical ideas that have evolved over the millennia, Feng Shui employs several principles to alter and enhance the flow of an energy known as Qi (pronounced "chee", and sometimes spelled Ch'i). This is the same energy that is manipulated in acupuncture, or utilized by practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine and the martial arts. By properly harnessing the flow of Qi, the energy within a space can be modulated to benefit the occupants within.

The purpose of this site is to acquaint visitors with authentic classical Feng Shui and to provide guidance for those who wish to learn more about this fascinating subject.

For visitors who would prefer to have their home or business analyzed in a Feng Shui light, rather than learn how to do so for themselves, there is a Consulting section, with information about setting up a consultation.

A Word About References

On each page of this site, you will find a references section at the bottom. The section exists to list material which will help you further your knowledge of classical Feng Shui, and it will be expanded over time as the site is updated.

Primary References

These materials should be in your library if you have any interest at all in learning classical Feng Shui. They cannot be recommended highly enough.

Secondary References

The materials listed here do a good job presenting the ideas behind classical Feng Shui. At times, some of the material in the references may not match up with material presented here. This can be due to different interpretations of ideas like dividing a property into nine cells or eight wedges, for example. The materials are still well worth owning, just be aware that differences exist.

Supplemental References

These items may do a good job explaining a particular topic, but they diverge widely from presenting classical Feng Shui. For example, the source may explain the Five Phase theory very well, but then advise you to place a three-legged toad in your living room to attract wealth. You should avoid these materials until you have a good grasp of classical Feng Shui, but after that point you may find them useful.
