Below is
the most basic any feng shui practitioner or feng shui master
must know in their feng shui practice. More details of the art
of using your feng shui compass or your feng shui Luo Pan will
be taught in our feng shui courses. At our feng shui classes,
2 other methods in taking compass directional with high
accuracy will be taught.
Taking Direction & the Compass
As a
beginner you do not need to invest in a Feng Shui Luo Pan.
What you really need is a good Western Compass for taking
direction. A good compass is much better than a sub-standard
Luo Pan.
Never practice
by looking at the shadow of the Sun to determine direction.
Tips on
using Compass
Hold your
Compass at waist level.
Make sure
your Compass is level with the ground.
The front
of the Compass should be Parallel to the wall of the
building or door that you are measuring.
Turn the
plate to align the North needle to the North marking of the
Compass.
Always
take direction reading front outside the building whenever
possible to be away from magnetic interference.
Take your
first direction reading at about 10 feet (3 metre) from the
building.
Take 3 to
5 more direction readings at about 15, 20, 25, & 30 feet
from the building.
Take the
direction reading that shows up most. The other readings is
probably because of magnetic interference.
Stay away
from metallic objects such as car, metal grill, fencing, fan,
radio, etc.
Watch out
for belt buckle, hand phone, high tension cable, etc.
If you
have a Luo Pan, the steps are the same as above. The Luo Pan
is a Feng Shui tools with a compass in the center and many
rings of Feng Shui formula. The rings of the Luo Pan is
useless unless someone teaches you the embedded codes.
Below are pictures of a traditional Chinese and a Luo
Pan with the rings decoded in English.
