What are the basics of feng shui?

Does anyone know the basics of Feng Shui and care to pass them on to me? I would really like to learn.?

• I think that my house is "missing something". Maybe Feng Shui is the answer. But I would prefer to do it myself. Can you just give me some basics, like 1,2,3,4,5. THANKS

• Answer:

  basics? easiest way to learn is still to attend a seminar, that a fengshui master is offering. books are always a dead end or a puzzle, because most authentic books are written in chinese. even if you can read chinese, these are written in codes. the authors were afraid that these knowledge could fall into the wrong hands so, they wrote them in codes. basics: - 3 kinds of luck: heaven, man and earth - the interactions of the 5 elements - from yin and yang, they formed the 8 trigrams - early heaven bagua, later heaven bagua concepts/ formulas (some): - 8 mansions - flying stars - water dragons - 5 ghost carry money, etc it is difficult to explain everything here, aside from the fact that fengshui is written in chinese, these characters have no english translations. that is why, american fengshui students have a difficult time assimilating the material. fengshui is about the 360 degrees of the earth, and how do we optimize earth to increase our wealth or health. it is systematic in its own sense. it is not like science or math, it has its own system. like 7 is metal and 2 is earht, but when you put these together, they interact to form 9, which is fire. at a glance, you think that they must have add 7 and 2, but it is not addition. because 7 and 9 is also fire. and where there is fire, fire can be activated by movements or by just using a particular space. fire can also mean inflamation or heart attack. in flying stars, a person can determine the energy in the house. when there is fire in an area, we try to use that area, or trap it in a small room. or we can also use water to diminish fire. this is authentic fengshui. it is not about putting up statues or paintings, nor putting chimes, nor arranging furnitures to ease the flow of chi, nor the use of colors to enhance the chi inside the house - these are all what the westerners conjured up, because they had a hard time understanding the real thing, or they don't want others to know the real thing. if you really want to understand it, visit my master's website: www.fengshuisos.com master peter leung lives in toronto, canada, and often has seminars around the world. all lectures are in english.
