You will learn how to ‘chase the dragon' (trace the path of qi to determine the best location and orientation of a site) and look for the ideal feng shui model in the natural landscape, the urban environment and inside buildings. The qi flow of buildings is analysed in relation to the function of different areas of the home. At the end of the unit you will gain an understanding of how qi flow in the environment can be read and how the qi of a building can be improved to empower the occupants lives, including the use of specific solutions that apply under different circumstances.

We will look at the working of this method and examine how to apply solutions that balance the qi patterns of individuals and buildings in real examples. The Luopan compass will also be introduced.
