Wisdom Of The Chinese Feng Shui Compass

The Chinese Feng Shui compass is a magnetically polarized tool, used to indicate the flow and harmony in the world and the spaces around us. Ever since its creation in ancient China, Feng Shui masters have taken its advice in the use of materials and discovering the hub of energy inside any building.

The needle inside the compass points South, contrary to the better known North-pointing compass of the West. This is because South is the actual direction from which the magnetic flow of the planet develops. When the ancient Chinese discovered this with a metal spoon, the theory stuck, and the Feng Shui compass followed suit.

The Lo-Pan (meaning 'bowl of everything' or 'bowl leading to the entire metaphysical universe) is used mostly to direct the construction of new buildings in such a way that the energies within the building flow freely and appropriately with the surrounding natural habitat. For a finished building, the Lo-Pan evaluates areas of rooms and doorways to find any problem spots that need further protection or adornments against negative energy.

Because the compass is magnetically driven, it can sense metals, and its readings are often distorted by the overwhelming presence of them. This can be a sign of a potential portal for negatives, and a counselor utilizing the Lo-Pan may suggest a removal of some of these metals to maintain greater harmony with nature. It is believed that if the magnetic flow of the earth is blocked, an area of stagnation has occurred, and will cause an ill effect on the people nearby.

The life source energy the Chinese refer to is know as Qi, or Chi, the good spiritual power that courses through the world. According to the laws of Feng Shui, Chi must be given proper means of passage throughout the home as a way to ward off the antagonistic energies present in the world. Chi can also been enhanced by certain means, such as bringing plants inside to care for, or tying a coin with a red ribbon to the front door to invite fortune.

As a divining tool, the compass is precise, and all the user must do is face the area of desired assessment, and consult the direction of the needle. The compass face is divided into elements, or dragons, based on the polar direction, and these elements correlate to certain energies. If the element shown is, in fact, the desired matching element for this specific area, then balance is achieved.

For centuries, the Chinese Feng Shui compass has been a guide and director for the masters of Chi and architecture, and its wisdom permeates throughout most of China's cities and buildings. There are various forms and levels of complication for the Lo-Pan, and one can choose the compass that feels most suited to them, their personality, and level of experience. No matter which form it comes in, however, the compass will bring a greater sense of aesthetic harmony to any space.
