The Traditional Feng Shui Evaluation

In medical practice, a good diagnosis of the symptoms is fundamental for a successful cure. Similarly, in Feng Shui a correct analysis, or evaluation, is the starting point for a proper upgrading.

During the analysis, we first observe the landscape surrounding the property, also defined as 'Big Environment': in doing this we observe the flow of Chi in the landscape and, whether it is a beautiful garden or a hectic city, make sure the building receives the most beneficial energy. Landscape design features are then used to eliminate disturbances from inauspicious sources.

Secondly, the interior is analyzed to ensure a proper flow of Chi in every room of the house, avoiding stagnation and depletion. This process is similar to the regulation of Chi flow in the body during an acupuncture session, except that no needles are used. At this stage, the furniture layout is important and appropriate design features are recommended for better results.

The third phase is the most critical. The Chi components are analyzed in detail: like white light through a prism divided into the electromagnetic spectrum's colors, so the flow of Chi is divided into branches of energy vibrating to different frequencies. This process of analysis shows whether a site's energetic field is balanced or unbalanced by using the geomancer compass to find the magnetic pole and establish the building's orientation. During this phase, the date of construction of the building is a crucial information for the energy floorplan calculation. Then, natural material objects and colors belonging to any missing energy frequency can be introduced to recreate the harmony.
This analysis is applied to every room of the house to ensure total balance.

The fourth phase involves the compatibility of the building with its inhabitants: more detailed attention is paid to space and color, as well as bed and desk orientation, favoring the options most beneficial to the inhabitants.

The results of such an evaluation will create detailed guidelines involving furniture layout and interior design in the case of an existing building, and space planning, design development advice and job site visits during construction for new projects or remodelings.

A common idea is that Feng Shui is divided into several schools. The most well known are Form school and Compass school. This is a division created in modern days, but, in fact, Classical Yang Sang Feng Shui includes them all. When you observe the big and the small environment you apply the teaching of the 'Form,' while when you study the magnetic field you apply the 'Compass' formulas. This procedure is the only one that can guarantee a complete, custumed analisys of your living environment.
