      Introduction

      First comes destiny, and then comes luck. Third comes feng shui, which is followed by philanthropy and education.

      —ancient Chinese saying

      Feng shui literally means wind and water. Some five thousand years ago the ancient Chinese believed that if you sited your home in the right location you would lead a life of contentment, happiness, and abundance. Naturally, we all want to lead happy, successful lives, and anything that can help us achieve these aims is well worth investigation.

      The term feng shui is a comparatively modern one. The original Chinese characters for feng shui were Ham and Yu. Ham means receiving energy from the heavens, while Yu connects the earth to the rest of the heavenly bodies.¹ Consequently, feng shui began as an attempt to connect heaven and earth.

      No one knows exactly when the practice of feng shui began. In China they have a charming story about its origin that may or may not be true. Wu, the first of the five legendary emperors of Chinese prehistory, was involved in irrigation work on the Yellow River. One day, he and his workers saw a large tortoise crawl out of the river. This was considered a good omen as in those days they believed that gods lived inside the shells of turtles and tortoises. However, this tortoise was especially auspicious, because the markings on its shell created a perfect magic square. Wu gathered all his wise men together, and they studied this strange phenomenon for a long while. Ultimately, this magic square was to become the basis of feng shui, the I Ching, Chinese astrology, and Chinese numerology.

      Over the centuries, by a process of observation and meditation, feng shui evolved. For the first two and a half thousand years of its history, feng shui was largely a geographic evaluation of the landscape. This became known as the Form School of feng shui. It became much more personalized after the invention of the compass, some twenty-three hundred years ago, when the Compass School was formed. This major advance allowed feng shui practitioners to choose the correct placements of people’s homes based on their dates of birth. Today, there are many variations of feng shui, but they can still be categorized as being part of either the Form or Compass School.

      Nowadays, we are much more aware of the effects that our environment has upon us. It makes good sense to use feng shui to improve our home environment, as it allows us and our loved ones to enjoy more harmony, balance, and success in our lives. By studying this book and putting the ideas into practice, you and your loved ones will gain all of these benefits.

      Feng Shui in the Home

      A home should be much more than just a place to rest our head at night. The word home conjures up many more pleasant images in our mind than the words house or apartment. When you return from work, does it feel good to be home? Do you start to get this feeling as you come up the street, or into the drive? If so, you already have a great deal of positive feng shui in your home.

      The moment we move into a new home we invest it with our personalities. Every piece of furniture has a story to tell. Ornaments and pictures on the walls reflect our tastes and attitudes. The books on the bookshelves reveal our interests. Framed photographs remind us of the people we love and also tell others a great deal about our backgrounds and the people we care about. Even when we move into a temporary home for just a few weeks, we try to make it as pleasing as possible by displaying personal objects that give us pleasure.

      Consequently, by making their homes as harmonious and as comfortable as possible, most people intuitively use feng shui all the time without knowing it. I am sure you have had the experience of walking into a room and subconsciously feeling that everything was right. You have doubtless also had the experience of entering a room and sensing that something was wrong. In the first case, the feng shui of the room was good. Most of the time, the second room would also experience good feng shui with just a few simple adjustments.

      Ch’i

      The ancient Chinese believed that a green dragon or white tiger lived beneath every hill or mountain. Where these two animals symbolically coupled was the perfect location for a home. They also believed that the dragon created ch’i with its breath. In fact, ch’i is often referred to as the dragon’s breath.

      Ch’i is the universal life force. It gathers near gently flowing water and is created whenever anything is done perfectly. A composer creating a beautiful melody is also creating ch’i. A poet writing a sonnet creates ch’i, too. Someone baking a magnificent cake is creating ch’i. A tennis player scoring an ace is creating ch’i.

      To operate effectively we need to encourage as much ch’i as
