Feng Shui Expert and Designer Yasha Jampolsky will reveal how Compass Feng Shui
works and share user friendly and practical ways to incorporate these methods
into any consultation or design project. Eight Mansions and Flying Stars, the
two most popular compass techniques used by Western Practitioners, will be discussed
as well as their adaptability to modern design, re-design, architectural and construction
projects.
Compass Feng Shui, offers powerful methods for understanding
the flow of energy. With that understanding we are able to live more productive
and abundant lives. As a designer's tool it can maximize the potential of any
space. Methods seeking the same ends have been noted to exist in many cultures.
The general term used for these practices is Geomancy.
The practice of
Compass Feng Shui evolved over thousands of years in Northern China and has spread
in various forms to influence all of Eastern Asia and eventually the rest of the
world. In its earliest form it began as an observation of landforms in order to
determine the most beneficial location for inhabited structures and burial sites.
In time, the benefits of directional orientation were discovered. At first, directional
Feng Shui methods were practiced using an astrolabe to read the heavens and positions
of the stars. Some early practitioners used a sun dial since the correct points
of reference coincided with proper solar orientation. The magnetic needle compass
came later. Although it was primarily used for navigation purposes, the magnetic
compass became the method of choice for many Feng Shui Practitioners. The Feng
Shui Compass is known in China as the Lopan.
Over the centuries, designers,
architects and practitioners of all kinds have used Geomancy to create structures
of incredible beauty also having energizing or healing properties. Properly oriented
structures were said to enhance the good fortune and well being of its inhabitants.
These practices are evident in :
Sacred Geometry and Sacred Architecture
of European Civilizations
Shamanic Wisdom of the Pyramid Texts of Ancient
Egypt
Mayan Oracles of Central and South Americas
Earth Teachings of the
Oglala Sioux of North America
Archeological references of almost every culture
currently known.
These practices offer a sense of order in design that
optimizes the dynamic potential of any space. They provide alignment with energies
that are often not seen but can be tangibly experienced and can have a profound
influence on us all.
Participants of this lecture will gain an understanding
of how the Compass methods
"Eight Mansions" and "Flying Stars"
can be used to enhance design and building projects as well as assure their success.
They will also gain perspective on how these methods embody Principles of Geomancy
as they have been used globally through the ages.
