Methodologies

Starting the Chinese past in the Song dynasty (960-1279 A.D.) two different types of Feng Shui schools got established. The “Li Xing Pai”, - “Form power school” or “regulation school” and the “Li Qi Pai” – “Structure Qi school”. In the western hemisphere they are know as the “Form school” and the “compass school”. 

Based on theses elementary schools, Feng Shui can be structured into two big categories- the physical and the abstract category. 

The first category focuses on the visible environment and the surrounding of the building. It takes buildings, streets and roads, waterways, mountains and the general landscape into consideration. 

In the second category the more abstract or invisible influences are considered. Invisible sources are mainly driven by the effect of directions on our environment. 

Bearing in mind these facts it is always necessary to consider both categories the visible and invisible attributes of the area.
