Feng Shui makes get really popular in the United States and more people are fascinated with the process and prefer to learn more about this ancient technique. Feng Shui are plainly the science and art of managing and diverting the flow of energy that surrounds the spaces we live and work in. Chi (energy) is a force that already exists in and around us, and it’s causative the quality by our life.

Chi has two mutually opposite forces called Yin (female) and Yang (male). Yin and Yang should be well balanced to maintain a healthy existence. Too much of either could create problems in your health, or perhaps in your family relationships, and even how you attract success.

It has been said that the practice of Feng Shui was kept under the cover of secrecy in it’s earliest forms, but with the easy communication between the east and the west, this science has come to be known widely in the western world and is being successfully practiced.

Beginners must know that there are primarily three different schools of Feng Shui. Two of them are traditional or classical and one of them is considered the Western School, or The Black Hat School of  Feng Shui.

The Form School concentrates on the exterior elements and land formations around the house. A home with a mountain behind it would give you better health and great financial security.

The Compass School, Traditional School, or Classical School; uses a compass to study the direction of the home. It calculates the Kua number of the home and works in tandem with the form school.

The third and some say the most well known school is the Black Hat School. In the early eighties, Grand Master Professor Thomas Lin Yun brought this technique to the United States. Many Americans seem to be familiar with the practice primarily due to the popularity of the Black Hat School.

The Black Hat School, like other schools, lays stress on de-cluttering your life to allow Chi to flow freely. There are no dramatic changes asked for and simple adjustments or “remedies” may be placed in areas of the home or business to adjust the flow of energy.

Most people are unaware of the physical remedies that are put in place, but they do report an overwhelming feeling of harmony and peace in their surroundings after the Feng Shui work.
