The use of a compass or Chinese Lo P'an is a tool that genuine Feng Shui Masters or practitioners use. The compass was invented by the Chinese during the Chou dynasty, and later it was developed into a complicated and intricate tool known as the Lo P'an used by Feng Shui Masters. This beautiful instrument may contain as many as 36 rings, each ring contains part of the formulas used to assess and adjust the Feng Shui. There are specific rings to measure water(known as the heaven plate), mountains (known as the human plate), and buildings (known as the earth plate).

•Feng Shui, originally known as Kan Yu is about living in harmony with nature. By living in harmony, we are able to harness the beneficial energies (known as Chi) to better their lives.

The Concept of the Universe~

Tien Di Ren= The Cosmic Trinity

•Heaven Luck~ is easily explained as destiny with a dose of luck thrown in. We are born with this fate; it is believed that we can not change this part which affects what part of our lives.

•Man Luck~ is what we achieve through hard work, education, perseverence, virtues and our deeds. This roughly affects what part of our lives and is a largely controllable aspect brought about by our choices we make in our lives.

•Earth Luck~ is where Feng Shui comes in. The act of harnessing the energy or forces of nature. This is left solely in our hands to do with as we please. By practicing Feng Shui principles, we can induce the positive aspects conferred by Heaven Luck and reduce the negative.

Feng Shui is the Chinese science of the environment. Feng Shui is the art of harmonizing the forces of nature known as Chi to promote health, harmony and prosperity for the living. Feng Shui is much more than just an art of placement. It is a study of the environment and how the energies of the environment interact with the individual dwellings.

Feng Shui is an art that involves judgement and understanding that maximizes the potential of the environment. I believe we all use Feng Shui everyday of our lives. How many times have you gone to a certain place or environment and experienced different sensations or feelings. Each area carries a certain vibration and resonates to the land. The Earth is a magnificent being. It's beauty is breathtaking.
