What is Feng Shui?
Feng Shui, the ancient Chinese Art of Placement, can enhance all aspects of your life including your relationships, career, and finances. Feng Shui (translates as "wind and water") involves placing objects, furniture or color in certain areas of the home or business, to obtain balance and harmony in your life. Feng Shui is to the home what acupuncture is to the body. Many Blessings, Christine V. Boone, Feng Shui Advantage In a consultation with a Feng Shui practitioner, a bagua or map is placed over the client's home or business floor plan. There are nine sections in the map corresponding to different aspects of life. These areas are health, family, wealth, fame, career, relationships, benefactors, knowledge and children/creativity. The client and practitioner walk throughout the space discussing what each area represents and what kind of objects or color would enhance that specific area. The areas outside the home or office also affect one's opportunities and quality of life. The primary objective is to ensure a good circulation of chi or life force energy. A home or business in harmony and balance positively affects the inhabitants' health, wealth and general well being. For more information regarding a Feng Shui consultation, please contact Christine V. Boone. What Is Black Sect Feng Shui?Grandmaster Professor Thomas Lin Yun, current spiritual leader of Black Sect Tantric Buddhism, defines Feng Shui as a way "to use the knowledge of many different fields to choose, construct, and create the living and working environments which are the most suitable for the individual. This is the art and science of Feng Shui." The Chinese art of placement creates harmony between inhabitants and their environments by situating rooms, furniture, landscape features, colors, etc., to benefit the inhabitants' luck, well being, relationships, and success. There are many different approaches to Feng Shui. The most known (from the various books on the market) being the Compass school and Form school. Black Sect Feng Shui is a Buddhist school which has assimilated many different cultural practices and philosophies over thousands of years, evolving into an art both practical and useful in this time and place. Often asked about the meaning of the name Black Sect, Professor Lin answers, "Just like the color black absorbs all other colors and becomes blacker, the Black Sect absorbs all the knowledge it encounters, keeps what works, and becomes wiser and more effective." Black Sect feng shui operates on two levels, sying and yi. Sying encompasses the tangible environmental factors of feng shui: it denotes the external elements -- energy (chi) of land, shape and structure of houses and columns, juxtaposition of doors, furniture placement that contribute to the feng shui of a place to determine one's luck. Traditional feng shui schools mostly emphasize sying -- literally "shapes" -- and directions. 
While not rejecting these traditional methods, the Black Sect includes an additional instrument to harmonize the environment: the channeling and balancing of Chi. My theory, besides embracing sying, also includes something extra: yi. Yi -- loosely translated as a wish, a will, or an intention -- plays an important role in Black Sect feng shui. Yi is a blessing, a way of adjusting and enhancing chi through intuition and imposition of the will of the expert (and the will of the client) on a house or a person. It is a vital but intangible process -- a positive transference and transformation of energy (chi) -- that reinforces and blesses the physical aspect (sying) of feng shui.
