Book excerpt: The ancient Chinese art of Feng-Shui, the basis of man's relationship with the land, has practitioners and followers throughout the Western world, from rural communities to big cities. Not just an Eastern practice any more, Feng-Shui can be found around the globe. Feng-Shui is an art that stresses the importance of living in harmony with nature. The Chinese believe that the earth has channels of energy known as 'dragon-lines', comparable with the meridians of the human body, and the buildings, towns and rooms should be designed and constructed so as not to obstruct these channels. According to the principles of Feng-Shui, living in harmony with the earth's field of energy will promote prosperity, peace and happiness. Living Earth Feng Shui is a fascinating book which outlines how Feng-Shui can be applied on a small or large scale, in the busiest cities or the smallest room. Author Stephen Skinner outlines its history and philosophy, clearly showing how it can be used to determine the site and arrangement of dwelling places in order to enhance the quality of life of the inhabitants. This is the perfect book for those new to Feng-Shui or someone who is interested in expanding their knowledge.

This book was released on 2015-03-11 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Feng Shui is not all about tradition. The integration and harmony between the natural and built environments concerning modern architecture has long been discussed in Feng Shui, or more academically, Kan Yu. Based on Scientific Feng Shui for the Built Environment: Fundamentals and Case Studies published in 2011, this enhanced new edition has further taken into account the enhancements and new inputs in theories and applications. Emphasis is placed on two themes, sustainability and science. New case studies regarding sustainable design as viewed from a Feng Shui perspective, and integrated applications of different architectural models and their associations with Feng Shui concepts are added and elaborated. On science, other than exploring the new development of particle physics in relation to Feng Shui studies, a totally new approach to numerology and Luo Shu study based on modern linear algebra may bring readers new insight into the possibility of researching Feng Shui mathematically, in addition to the use of spherical trigonometry. This book offers a remarkable in-depth view of Feng Shui by integrating the historical theories with scientific explorations and examples of applications. It once again demonstrates that Feng Shui can be studied scientifically, and eventually scientific Feng Shui may become a new field of science in the academic world as well as a professional and orthodox discipline of architectural design for the built environment.

Download or read book Feng Shui History written by Stephen Skinner and published by . This book was released on 2019-07-24 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The History of Feng Shui tracks the evolution of feng shui in detail from China in 221 BC until the present day, both in China, and later in the West. This has never been done before in English. The only information on the history of feng shui occurs as scattered chapters in a number of books which often repeats the same vague and sometimes erroneous generalisations. These books include many erroneous statements such as:1."feng shui is 6000 years old." In fact the characters 'feng shui' were not used in this context before 320 CE. Even the older names (ti li, kan yu) for this practice do not occur in any texts before 220 BCE.2."feng shui derives from the Yi Jing." In fact, apart from the 8 trigrams being used as basic directional indicators, no feng shui compass shows 60 hexagrams till 1600 CE, and not the full 64 hexagrams till 1827 CE.3."the feng shui compass derives from a revolving magnetised spoon revolving on a plate." This incorrect deduction made by Wen Cheng To in 1946 (and later reluctantly repeated by Needham) was completely discredited in the 1990s, but people keep repeating it.This book has been meticulously researched, from authoritative Chinese texts and the analysis of many antique lo p'ans. It contains the details of many masters, and tracks the changes in theory and practice over time. There are modern chapters on feng shui in Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, US and UK, bringing it totally up to date. Stephen Skinner introduced feng shui to the West with the first 20th century English book on feng shui in 1976. With the publication from 1998-2001 of the magazine "Feng Shui for Modern Living" in English and also in Chinese, Stephen has helped to spread interest in feng shui worldwide and outside of the Chinese speaking world. As interest has progressed further, there are now many more Westerners who not only know what traditional feng shui is, but also want to know how to use it practically.Feng shui is not a religion, but a discipline as precise in its practice as surveying, and more precise in its application and formulae than many Western sciences (such as psychology and sociology). Its history is therefore worthy of our attention. Stephen also documented the rings of the luopan in his comprehensive "Guide to the Feng Shui Compass: a Compendium of Classical Feng Shui." He has been a prime mover in both establishing feng shui as a precise discipline, and in bringing its benefits to the English speaking world.

Download or read book Feng Shui Made Easy Revised Edition written by William Spear and published by North Atlantic Books. This book was released on 2011-03-08 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Credited as bringing feng shui to the Western mainstream, this influential classic offers a uniquely holistic approach to feng shui—one focused on initiating change from the inside and out. Discover the foundational principles of the ancient Chinese practice of feng shui—and how you can apply them to your relationships, community, and home—with “the most user-friendly translation of feng shui” (The New York Times). While most of the early English-language books on feng shui are dauntingly mystical or rely on complex calculations or culturally specific design practices, Feng Shui Made Easy takes a more holistic approach, clearly explaining the fundamentals while guiding readers on an inner journey of understanding. Thoughtfully written and beautifully illustrated, the book is structured around an “architecture of consciousness” that is really the inner landscape. The book explores each “house” of the bagua—the chart representing one’s journey through life; relationships with parents, loved ones, and community; creativity; spirituality; and connectedness to the source of life—and the symbolism of the corresponding I Ching trigram. Feng Shui Made Easy helps readers discover the nature of these connections, as well as learn what obstructions must be removed to change fixed patterns of behavior and restore balance, harmony, and inner peace—a process that, when combined with external adjustments, results in increased success and lasting change in all areas of life. This revised edition expands on the author’s intuitive approach with new sections on health, children’s environments, and ecological concerns and sustainable practices. The author also corrects misconceptions about feng shui and uses fascinating case studies to share valuable insights he gained from interactions with his clients and readers.

Book excerpt: Feng Shui and the City analyses the past and contemporary influences of traditional geomancy on Chinese built environments across three domains: domestic spaces, spaces of commercial development and the public realm. Using Lefebvre’s notion of absolute and abstract space—spaces of ‘symbolic existence’ and ‘everyday life’ versus spaces of domination and control, it tracks evolving attachment to, and use of, Feng Shui in Guangdong and Hong Kong. The book seeks to understand the changing role of Feng Shui in modern urban development and its regulation, and to question what constitutes authentic Feng Shui today.
