Feng Shui is often complicated by people. One of the reasons is that many Feng Shui masters regard Feng Shui as a unique skill and deliberately create a mysterious color for Feng Shui. Another very important reason is that Feng Shui has great power.

Chapter 2 Mastering the Compass

The correct concept of sitting and judging Feng Shui It is not difficult to learn the basic concepts of Feng Shui. Feng Shui is often complicated by people. One of the reasons is that many Feng Shui masters regard Feng Shui as a unique skill and deliberately create a mysterious color for Feng Shui. Another very important reason is that Feng Shui has great power. Feng shui decorations change the magnetic field structure of the entire environment, thereby reversing and balancing cause and effect.

If the Feng Shui judgment is wrong, the disaster can be delayed for three generations. If the cause and effect is wrong, the Feng Shui master himself will have to bear the consequences. Therefore, a Feng Shui master must have merit and blessings and wisdom and cannot read Feng Shui purely for the sake of making money.

The reason why I have religious beliefs is because I want to accumulate merit and transform cause and effect through religious practice. Therefore, Feng Shui masters are very careful when [selecting] apprentices. For this reason, before I formally explain Feng Shui to you, I must explain this principle clearly to everyone.

The so-called Feng Shui is actually a kind of magnetic field and orientation science. It uses the magnetic needle on the compass and then through mathematical calculations to find out the impact of orientation on people. Feng Shui is not a magical power, and you absolutely cannot rely on feeling or induction to read Feng Shui for others. Feng Shui is not a panacea. If a person commits a murder, he will bear the consequences of the murder. You cannot rely on a compass alone to resolve the consequences.

Therefore, Feng Shui cannot override the cause and effect of the past life, that is, it cannot override the influence of the spiritual world, witchcraft or religion. If when you enter a house, the compass jumps abnormally and you cannot identify the direction at all, or your mind suddenly becomes chaotic, you have to give up doing Feng Shui for this house because this house is affected by a kind of azimuth theory. Higher levels of magnetic field radio waves interfere. This radio wave may come from a certain power source or a certain space. In Feng Shui, "Five Yellows" are used to represent this force, and there are ways to resolve it! There's another place where you can't read Feng Shui, and that's the casino. The reason is that the magnetic field of the casino is disturbed by a variety of external forces, and the Feng Shui of the casino is unpredictable. All because casinos must have spiritual factors that interfere with feng shui.

Feng shui is a easy to learn difficult to master knowledge, but practicing feng shui is much easier than doing batch calculation of horoscopes, because the calculation of horoscopes has immediate results, and the parties will know as soon as you hear whether your calculations are accurate.

However, it is difficult for others to refute the Feng Shui decorations you suggest, and it is also difficult to prove whether they are right or wrong. Therefore, Feng Shui is also the easiest to be exploited and deceived. Everyone should study Feng Shui from an academic, philosophical and orthodox perspective, and not fall into blind worship of superstition and deification.

I want to emphasize again and again that the quality of a Feng Shui master depends on whether the Feng Shui master has merit. The primary purpose of learning Feng Shui is to help you master and control home Feng Shui. I wish myself to become a virtuous doctor! If you want to read Feng Shui for others, you must have the heart of a doctor to help the world and help people in need with a kind and compassionate heart. Only then can you become a good Feng Shui master.

1. Understanding the compass

To learn Feng Shui, you must first understand the compass. The compass is the sword of the Feng Shui master and a weapon used for making moves. A compass is a compass. Originally, it only had the north and south poles. Later, east and west were added to form the four general directions [east, west, south, and north]. Then eight directions were added between [East, West, South, North] to make a total of twelve directions. This type was the earliest compass.

Learn Twelve Earthly Branches Everyone has seen that the twelve directions on the compass are not written as southeast, northwest, but instead (counting from the north): Zichou Yin Mao Chen Si Wu Wei Shen You Shu Hai. These are the twelve earthly branches of the Chinese calendar.

From this moment on, everyone should forget about the southeast, northwest, and from now on use the twelve earthly branches to represent the twelve directions of the earth, which are called twelve mountains in Feng Shui.

Everyone must memorize this formula [Ziwu Maoyou]! This is the four-character secret you must know in academic mathematics! Zi=North; Wu=South; Mao=East; You=West.

You will also find that the order of southeast, northwest and north on the compass is south at the top and north at the bottom. This is the order in which directions are calculated in Feng Shui. Be careful not to make a mistake. When everyone memorizes the names of the four directions [Ziwu, Maoyou], they can clearly understand the directions shown on the compass.

2. Understanding the Ten Heavenly Stems

Since the development of the compass, there are a total of twenty-four mountains, which are divided into twenty-four directions among the original twelve directions. The twelve newly added directions have twelve different names.

There are ten dry days in the Chinese calendar, which are: A, B, C, D, Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Rengui.

The compass adds the eight characters [A, B, C, D, Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Rengui] to become the codes for the eight directions. [Wu Ji] represents the five yellow central soils, and these two characters are written in the center of the compass. There are now a total of twenty-four azimuth codes, and there are still four more to go. The Yi Jing and the Eight Diagrams There are eight hexagrams in the Yi Jing, which were created by Fuxi and are called [Xiantian Bagua]. King Wen of Zhou changed the eight innate eight trigrams into sixty-four hexagrams, which are called "acquired eight trigrams". Feng Shui is a theory that integrates the wisdom of [ Hetu Luoshu ] and [Bagua] and applies it to directions.

The eight innate eight trigrams are: Kankun Zhenxun Qiandui Genli. The person who created the compass added the four hexagrams representing [Gen] in the northeast, [Xun] in the southeast, [Kun] in the southwest, and [Qian] in the northwest to the compass, becoming the twenty symbols on the compass. Four mountains. These twenty-four mountains are represented by eight hexagrams, namely:

[ Kan Gua ] represents the three mountains of [Renzigui] (right north);

[Gen Gua] represents [Chou Gen Yin] Three mountains (Northeast);

[Zhen Gua] represents the three mountains of [Jia Mao Yi] (Zhengdong);

[Xun Gua] represents the three mountains of [Chen Xunsi] (southeast);

[Li Gua] represents [Bingwuding] three mountains (due south);

[Kun Gua] represents [Wei Kun Shen] three mountains (southwest);

[Dui Gua] represents [Geng You Xin] three mountains (due west);

[Qian Gua] represents the three mountains (northwest) of [Garrison Qianhai];

On the compass, the Eight Diagrams of the Book of Changes represent eight directions, and each direction contains three directions, for a total of twenty-four directions. At this point everyone has mastered all directions on the compass.

3. Do I live in a Feng Shui house?

[Does the house I live in have good Feng Shui? ] It’s very simple to find out the answer. Just take out the compass and find out the direction of your current home. Then you can immediately know whether your home is located in a [good] Feng Shui direction.

In Feng Shui, we call the [sitting] direction the [mountain] direction. A house (sitting) north (facing) south is called Zi (mountain) Wu (facing) in Feng Shui. (Wu means south, Zi means north) A house (sitting) south (facing) north is called Wu (mountain) Zi (facing) in Feng Shui.

How to define which mountain direction is good Feng Shui? If the house you live in is located on a mountain with the twelve earthly branches, it is basically a house with good Feng Shui. The four directions of the earth, east, west, north and south, represent the four strongest forces in the universe, controlling our good and bad luck and physical condition.

The twelve directions derived from the four directions possess the strongest energy in the universe. As long as any house is located in these twelve directions, it is basically called a "Three Yuan Invincible House".

If a house is located due east, due south, due west or due north, this kind of house is of course especially the residence of the general. However, since each house is affected by the changes in the earth's fortunes over the years, this kind of house is extremely prosperous when it is prosperous, but extremely weak when it is out of order. Therefore, this strong magnetic field also represents the ups and downs, and the thin line between life and death. .

Therefore, although there are twenty-four mountains on the compass, we initially only pay attention to the twelve mountains. All Feng Shui is generated by the twelve earthly branches. Houses located in the direction of Tiangan Mountain can basically only be called Feng Shui houses that are more likely to cause problems in Feng Shui. This is a relatively basic concept for beginners.

4. The use of mountain direction

The mountain direction on the compass is most commonly used in the following four places:

(1) Home

(2) Bed

(3) Writing cabinet

(4) Stove

In addition to finding out the sitting direction of the home , to determine whether this is a Feng Shui house, you need to find out the direction of the bed, which is the direction in which your head is placed when you sleep. This direction directly affects your health, because you have three points every day. one of the time sleeping in bed. The location of your desk is also very important because it is the source of your wealth and income. The position of the stove in the kitchen turns out to be very important, because the stove represents the housewife, and this position directly affects the housewife's health and status.

According to "Three Yuan Feng Shui", [Mountains govern people, water governs wealth]. Many people misunderstand and think that [mountain] is soil, which means placing water tanks at home. In fact, [mountain] means [sitting], and [water] means [direction], which means that good or bad luck, population, and wealth are all related to the direction of the mountain.

[Mountain] is in charge of human beings, which represents health, children, and population size.

[Xiang] is in charge of wealth, representing power, wealth and official status.

People in ancient times had wealth when they had an official position, so people would sleep in a "coffin" after death, which meant that their descendants would be able to inherit the "official wealth". Some people place a [coffin] at home as an auspicious thing.

5. Luan Head and Qi Regulation

When you want to investigate Feng Shui for your home, you need to know what "Luan Head" and "Qi Regulation" are.

To put it simply, [Lantou] represents the formal decoration. You place the head of the bed against the wall, the end of the bed facing the window and the door, and the bedside table next to the bed. This is the front, which is the orientation of "space".

However, the earth is constantly rotating, and the aura of the entire earth, and even the entire universe, is constantly changing every day and every year, resulting in different Feng Shui directions at different times. This knowledge of determining Feng Shui directions based on [time], It’s [regulating qi].

For example, if there is a "sharp angle shadow" in a room, it is not good on the "front", but you also need to calculate the bad time on "Li Qi". You may find that the crisis occurred two years later, so there will be no problem living in this unit now.

This explains why in some ancestral houses, the first generation of residents prospered, the second generation began to decline, and the third generation fell into ruin. It's the same house, with the same roof, but different qi, which means the time is different. Therefore, Feng Shui must match the time, and the placement of Feng Shui items should be based on different times. A house has a score of 100 when you first live in it, but at some point it can drop to zero.

To learn Feng Shui, you must first change the habit of only looking at the front. Most people don't understand the principles of Feng Shui, so beginners and laymen usually only stay at the "Lantou" position. Regulating Qi is purely a science of counting, not counting by sight.

The calculation of Qi regulation is relatively complex and difficult. Some low-level Feng Shui masters only know how to explain the theory of placement, but do not know how to calculate the transfer of space. For example, according to the loft, the bed is against the wall, which means there is a backing, which is a good loft. But if you calculate your Qi and find that the Feng Shui position in front of the window is the order at that time, you may really want to consider moving your bed in front of the window.

According to Luantou, a bedside window is not ideal, but as we all know, the President of the United States places his desk in front of the window. Therefore, only calculating the ridge head cannot master the correct Feng Shui decoration method. To a certain extent, regulating Qi is more important than Luantou. The mountains can be changed, that is, the design and layout of the environment can be changed, but the magnetic field of the universe and the position of flying stars cannot be changed, and can only be transformed by the five elements. The evil cannot be completely eliminated, but the situation can be completely changed.

6. How to use the compass

Now you need to find out the mountain direction of your home immediately. I will explain the structure of the compass to you.

The base of the compass is square, representing the earth, and the center is circular, representing the sky, which is called the round sky and the square place.The place where the compass is placed is called Tianchi. One end of the compass looks like a pair of horns, and that direction is north. The other end refers to the south. There are two small red dots on the chassis of Tianchi. Move the calf horns to the center of the two dots, which is due north. Red on the compass represents good luck, and black represents danger. This is designed by mathematicians for the convenience of later scholars.

The compass must be placed flat so that the magnetic needle can remain in the appropriate position. If it is placed on its side and the magnetic needle falls to a fixed position, it will soon lose its effectiveness. This is something you must pay attention to. When placing the compass, you should also pay attention to whether there is current or a magnet nearby. If there is any, the magnetic needle will soon become ineffective.

A professional Feng Shui master should carry two compasses. When it is found that the magnetic needle is unstable, a second compass must be taken out to determine whether the magnetic needle has failed or is interfered by the magnetic field. According to legend, after Chi You was defeated by the Yellow Emperor, his soul was attached to the compass, so the compass was considered to ward off evil spirits.

Some people regard the compass as a tool to ward off evil spirits. To explain based on the principle, the compass contains all the five elements and eight trigrams, and it can indeed have the effect of balancing the five elements. Moreover, the spirit world is most afraid of contact with birth and death, because the spirit world is stuck in a realm without time and space, and it is most afraid of being reminded of the concept of time. The compass represents time and space, so it can be inferred that the spirit world is indeed afraid of seeing the compass.

So does the compass need to be consecrated? I have said before that Feng Shui is not a talisman or magical power. It does not require chanting sutras or casting spells toward the compass.

7. Practical tips

When you want to find out the sitting direction of your home, where should you stand to measure it? This is the secret skill of Feng Shui masters of all ages, and I am making an exception to reveal it here.

To accurately measure the sitting direction of a room, you should stand outside the gate, seven footprints away from the gate (that is, about three steps away), and face the gate to measure. You hold the compass against your chest and balance the edge of the compass with the doorway, so you can accurately find the mountain direction of this room.

In ancient times, when everyone lived in separate buildings, it was very easy to find the direction of the mountain. Most people in modern times live in high-rise buildings. According to my practical experience, units from the ground to the fifth floor are greatly affected by the ground magnetic field. The sitting direction of the entire building must be used as the unit's own sitting direction to measure. When you are there, you have to stand seven steps outside the main entrance of the building to measure it.

I don’t know, but basically the lower the level, the better the feng shui. The reason is that Feng Shui is affected by the earth's atmosphere. If you live on the top floor of a skyscraper, the lack of earth energy will lead to more variables in Feng Shui.

Therefore, the most valuable ones must be floor shops. Rich people must also live in independent bungalows, so that they can truly absorb the magnetic field of the earth's energy.

If the house you live in is not located in the ideal mountain direction, some Feng Shui masters suggest that you change the door to an angle or another direction in order to change the mountain direction of the house. But actual experience is that the effect of this change can only last for a short period of time, because this change cannot change the aura of the entire building.

8. Go to the mountain and go to the mountain

I have just said that Feng Shui is affected by time, that is, regulating Qi. From 2004 to 2023, the earth entered the eight fortunes of twenty years. I will explain in detail the calculation method of the eight fortunes in a moment.

Among the eight fortunes, the following six mountain directions are very prosperous, which are called "mountains to directions". Houses located in these directions will have both small and financial benefits.

● Ganshan Xunxiang ● Xunshan Qianxiang ● Choushan Wuxiang ● Weishan Chouxiang ● Sishan Haixiang ● Haishan Sixiang

Going up the mountain and going to the water is the opposite of [going to the mountain to the water], it is [going up the mountain and going to the water] This is a very bad situation. Houses located in these directions will lose both their wealth and wealth.

● Kunshan Genxiang ● Genshan Kunxiang ● Yinshan Shenxiang ● Shenshan Yinxiang ● Chenshan Shuxiang ● Shushan Chenxiang

You can check whether your home belongs to the above mountain directions. This is the first exercise in introductory compass practice.Every year in Tongsheng , I will list nine directions that are not suitable for that year. By referring to Tongsheng, you can know which directions are not suitable for use every year, such as not suitable for groundbreaking or burial. This is very important information. To learn Feng Shui, you must know the bad luck every year. For example, the Tai Sui position is an important position that changes every year.

Feng shui objects that attract wealth: Tianlu, Pixiu, fortune-enhancing hand, eight-luck swallow, fish, and net, five-finger water-gathering square.
