Here are some more information for Chinese Compass:
Do you know that Feng Shui is not a religious practice. It is in fact a system of controlling and harnessing the energy flow in the environment so that this energy will affect you positively such that you live in a harmonious and healthier life.
When I first started learning about this Chinese system, I was confused and shall I say a bit skeptical. How come just by arranging the furniture it affects your mind? Is it a sort of Chinese astrology or maybe it has something to do with I Ching? Well it is totally different from these two.
Like Chinese astrology, to perform Feng Shui you need special tools and the standard ones would be the compass and the bagua. The bagua is a kind of map or chart that relates various areas of your life in the 8 divisions within your living space. Through this bagua chart including a compass you could figure out how to emphasize as well as energize the areas within your office or home that require immediate attention so that they can be enhanced by Feng Shui practice.
Typically for the ancient Chinese, Feng Shui appeared to be mystical. However modern science can explain the effects of this Chinese practice via quantum physics. Let me show you one of the main scientific discoveries with regards to Feng Shui:
It was shown that our mind can be altered from an attentive state (beta) to a meditative state (alpha) simply by entering a space (room) that has been applied Feng Shui to it. In simple term it means that your chaotic beta brain waves transform to meditative alpha waves when you enter a good Feng Shui room.
Skeptical about it? Your brain waves changes for the better just by walking into a room. Let's see what's happened.
Researchers hooked someone to a mobile EEG device. They then brought him into a room without any Feng Shui applied to it. They discovered that his brain waves were around beta state. Next Feng Shui was applied to the same room simply by rearranging the furniture. But this time whenever he was brought to the room his brain waves instantaneously changed to alpha state. They were surprised to discover the sudden switch to a trance-like alpha state while he was in this particular room. How could this be?
So what makes the person's brain waves switch from one state to another? The quick answer is the energy flow. The positive energy flows within the room affects the person mind and his brain and this changes his brain wave frequencies.
This energy also known as chi would flow freely coming in from one window and departing over the other window and its flow will be only stopped by something that stands on its way. For that reason rearranging furniture in the correct way along with removing any clutter would certainly improve this flow.
You must always ensure that your room in your house where you spend most of your time has a good energy flow. Studies have demonstrated that one of several ways to get into the alpha state is to be in an area with good Feng Shui; because your brain will automatically produce a lot more alpha waves. Therefore if you are considering of meditating then ensure that your room meets this condition.
There are many ways you can learn about this mysterious Chinese system of furniture arrangement. If you are curious about it then the quickest way is to google and visit the relevant sites. Maybe you need a Chinese friend to explain all the Chinese terms related to it. I am certain your quality of life such as your health, wealth and prosperity will significantly improve by applying this Chinese practice to your home.

You Will Need
- A stick
- Two rocks
- The ability to locate constellations
Step 1: Use the shadow stick method
During the day, try the shadow stick method. Find a stick about three feet tall and put it in a flat piece of ground with no greenery nearby. Mark the end of its shadow with a rock. Wait 30 minutes, and mark the tip of the new shadow. The connecting line runs from west to east, with the first mark indicating west.
Step 2: Observe any snow
If there is lingering snow on the ground, gauge where it’s located. In the Northern Hemisphere, there will be more snow on north-facing slopes, which generally get less sun.
Step 3: Inspect tree bark
Inspect older trees. In the Northern Hemisphere, the side of the tree with the thinner bark is usually facing southeast. Also, there tends to be more foliage on that side.
Contrary to conventional wisdom, moss can grow on sides other than north, so this is not an accurate predictor of direction.
Step 4: Wait until the sun begins setting
Wait until the sun begins setting. Whichever direction it’s going down is west.
Step 5: Look at the moon
If the moon is in a crescent phase, imagine a line running from its top tip to its bottom tip and continuing all the way down to the horizon. If you’re in the Northern Hemisphere, the point where the imaginary line touches the ground is south.
Step 6: Find the North Star
If the moon is not in a crescent phase, find the North star by locating the Big Dipper and following the front edge of its cup from bottom to top, extending that line up about five times its length until you see a star.
Step 7: Walk in a straight line
Once you know where you’re going, walk in a straight line. To avoid accidentally veering off course, find landmarks to walk toward, and go around obstacles on alternating sides every time you come to one.
Step 8: Buy a compass
Buy a compass as soon as you get back to civilization.
The magnetic compass was first used by the Chinese over 2,000 years ago.
