Feng Shui, which literally means wind and water, has three basic schools or approaches to adjusting the energy flow of your home, garden or business.
1. Form school
2. Compass school
3. BTB or Black Hat Ta***ic Buddhist school
The Form school is the oldest approach to Feng Shui, dating back thousands of years. Today using Form School means analyzing natural features such as trees, hills, mountains, rivers, and lakes. In the urban environment, this also includes other buildings, walls, and fences. Form School is still relevant today, and particularly important in Flying Star Feng Shui.
2. Compass school - emphasizes the use of formulaic calculations – rather than the external physical landforms – to determine how Qi or Chi affects you and your home.
3. BTB - popularized in the West by Master Lin Yun, BTB focuses on the individuals intention. Black Hat practice uses the Eight Aspirations Map otherwise known as the Bagua Map (Ba Gua) or Energy Map, as its primary tool and is not otherwise a geomantic system.
Feng Shui Enhancements relies heavily on BTB design principles. However, if your desire is to purchase land and orient your home according to landforms and other geographical elements, the Form or Compass schools can be utilized.
