Types of Feng Shui: Finding the Path That Resonates with You

By Jessie Kim

Feng Shui, the ancient Chinese art of harmonizing energy, comes in many forms. These different schools, or sects, of Feng Shui, each offer unique approaches to achieving balance and fulfilling your desires. Let’s explore some of these schools:

1. Traditional or Classical Schools

Form or Landscape School: Focuses on the natural environment’s influence on energy.
Compass School: Uses compass directions to determine energy flow.
Flying Star School (Xuan Kong): Analyzes the time-based energy dynamics of a space.
Eight Mansions School (Ba Zhi): Aligns energy with personal Kua numbers.

2. Intuitive or Modern Schools

Western School: A simplified, contemporary take on traditional principles.
Pyramid School: Combines intuition with ancient methods.

3. Black Sect Tantric Buddhist School (BTB Feng Shui)

Often referred to as “Bagua Feng Shui,” this school uses the Bagua map as a guide to channel and balance energy.

Choosing Your Feng Shui Path

Choosing a Feng Shui school is much like deciding on the best route to work. You could pick the fastest, safest, or most comfortable path. Similarly, selecting the right Feng Shui approach depends on your goals and lifestyle.

Why I Practice Black Sect (Bagua) Feng Shui

One key difference between these schools lies in their reliance on compass directions. While some schools emphasize directions like north, south, east, and west, I’ve found this impractical in modern life.

For instance:

An eastward-facing home may be ideal one year but unsuitable the next.
Gua or Kua numbers can lead to conflicting recommendations for family members.

This constant change can make traditional approaches challenging. Instead, Black Sect Feng Shui offers a more adaptable solution.
