The apparition of Feng Shui in our occidental world is mostly due to the exodus of the Chinese Masters and of many Taoist disciplines during the Chinese Cultural Revolution. It is only then that this knowledge has been brought to us, while before this, the Chinese emperors kept those secretly in order to be the only ones who could benefit from the positive effects that the Feng Shui can procure.

Nevertheless, a truly simplified and “simpliciste” branch of the Feng Shui (called “New Age”, “Occidental”, ‘Neo Feng Shui” or “Popular Feng Shui”) has emerged due to the high complexity of this art in its original aspect, as well as the difficulty to translate the chinese texts, but also because of the cultural gap between China and western countries, along with the business aspect of making profit out of it.

It is therefore not appropriate to understand the art of Feng Shui as a phenomenon of fashion, which has been imported to the occident in recent years. Feng Shui is by far not only an art of placing furnishings.

It is in fact a much more complex art, which requires precise working tools (Luo Pan compass), along with the mastery of an ancestral knowledge as well as the experience brought forward by the Masters and a lot of personal experience.
