Study Feng Shui Online Course and Learn How to Influence the Energies Around You to Achieve Life Improvements 

This course examines how the arrangement of your environment and the orientation and placement of things in it affect the energy flow in your environment and therefore your personal energy flow.

The term feng shui is composed of two Chinese words: feng (wind) and shui (water). Wind and water are the two natural elements that flow, move, and circulate everywhere. They are also the most basic elements required for human survival. Their combination determines the climate, which in turn determines our food supply and affects our lifestyle, health, energy, and mood.

By using feng shui techniques, you can influence the energies around you to achieve life improvements. This helps you to achieve harmony with your surroundings.

Your personal energy flow affects how you think and act, how well you perform, and your level of success. It is based on the assumption that your surroundings affect your physical and mental health, your relationships, and your success. Originating from China, feng shui is thousands of years old.

The principle behind feng shui is that all objects (living and inanimate) contain qi (or chi). Qi is a form of energy that is the constantly moving and changing. The goal of feng shui is to keep qi flowing gently through your environment rather than running straight through it. If it becomes stuck or blocked, qi can have a negative effect on your environment.

Qi (pronounced "chee" in English and also written as chi) is sometimes translated as "natural energy," "life force," or "energy wave." Qi is not strictly a "living force," since inanimate objects contain qi as well. It literally translates as "breath," "air," or "gas." This is not a Chinese term.

Topics to be discussed include:

• Feng Shui and Qi
• Qi and Chinese Tradition

Part 2: Yin & Yang

Introduction to Yin & Yang and Their Attributes

The relationship of yin and yang produces qi. When they are in equilibrium, qi is ample and plentiful, and there is peace. The concepts of yin and yang are central to feng shui and Chinese philosophy. They are the essence of nature, where everything is constantly changing.

The negative cycle is represented by yin, while the positive cycle is represented by yang.

Topics to be discussed include:

• Attributes of Yin & Yang in More Detail

Part 3: The Bagua

Introduction to the Bagua

Bagua (pa kau, baqua) simply means "eight symbols." Taoism employs eight graphs to depict eight interrelated principles. One is made up of three lines that are either unbroken (yang) or broken (yin). In English, they are often referred to as "trigrams." The eight trigrams serve as the foundation for the 64 hexagrams (sets of six lines) of the I Ching, also known as the Book of Changes.

Topics to be discussed include:

• I Ching and Trigrams
• Meaning of the Trigrams
• Early Heaven and Later Heaven

Part 4: The He Tu and the Lo Shu

Legend has it that Emperor Fu Hsi (the legendary father of Chinese civilization who lived from 2858 to 2738 BCE) was traveling down the Yellow River when a magnificent white horse appeared from it.

Module 10: Feng Shui in Other Settings

Part 1: Architecture

Learning Objectives:

• How feng shui can apply in other settings
• The relations between feng shui and architecture
• The origins of feng shui in burial and graveyards

Architecture

Feng Shui in China’s Architectural History

Feng shui has a long tradition of Chinese architecture. The concepts of architectural feng shui are largely related to those of the earlier mentioned feng shui approaches. Leaning against mountains and facing water is one of the most significant values. This can be seen in the ancient capital city of Xian, which was selected because it was surrounded by nine mountains.

Topics to be discussed include:

• Foundational Principles of Architectural Feng Shui

Part 2: Building Positioning and Animal Guardians

A mountain is immobile, while water flows. As a result, water is yang, while mountains are yin. The optimal feng shui placement is where the house is built on slightly elevated ground. This is similar to the turtle's land placement as defense and strong backing for the shelter. The weakest feng shui backing for a house is sloping land or land that is lower than the front of the house.

Part 3: Burial and Graveyards

Choosing locations for graves and burials was one of the first applications of feng shui. The aim was to protect the owner's children and bring them peace and prosperity. People were generally buried in the capital city, in their home town, or in a spot they were familiar with and cherished while they were alive.

Topics to be discussed include:

• Guidelines on Grave Positioning
