What You Should Know About 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.
Unlike the Northward-bound compass from the western world, the Chinese compass points to the South. After an experiment with a metal spoon, the ancients derived the true planetary source from which the magnetic flow originates, the South pole, and designed their compass to lead toward it.
In Chinese, the compass is referred to as the Lo-Pan, meaning the ‘bowl of everything’ or ‘bowl that opens the gate to all mysteries in the universe’. Drawing from the literal coordinates and surrounding landscaping of a building, the Lo-Pan is utilized in leading the way to achieving harmony with the local flow of energy, rather than moving against it. It also can be useful in placing certain objects of furnishings in particular places where the energy could use it the most, and to remedy a troublesome doorway, perhaps, if the building was constructed without the use of a compass.
Since metallic objects disrupt the readings the compass needle gives out, it is also believed that a concentration of metals blocks the entire flow of the planet in that spot, meaning negative forces might take advantage and open a portal. Masters and advisers will obviously suggest a removal or greater dispersion of these metals if at all possible.
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.
The user of the Lo-Pan can assess any area of their home simply by facing it, and reading the direction the needle points toward. After consulting the ancient wisdom of what should be the case for a piece of furniture or a doorway for example, the user can adjust the objects in the space. The elemental division of the compass also allow for the user to put their own emphasis on any element they prefer.
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.
