Feng Shui has the capacity to help an individual tap into a state of synchronicity whereby they are more likely to be in the right place at the right time as opportunity presents itself. This is achieved primarily with the use of Xuan Kong Fei Xing/Flying Star Feng Shui, in which one assesses the quality of chi (energy) affecting a particular space (ie the precise compass orientation and surrounding landform of your home) during a particular period in time (ie in conjunction…

These days, the term feng shui usually evokes vague images of oriental new-age looking trinkets, a simplified map of life aspiration corners and lots of positive energy wrapped in lucky red envelopes.
