About Flying Star Feng Shui

Flying Star Feng Shui is a Classical Chinese School of Feng Shui used prominently in Hong Kong and now becoming popular in Australia as the preferred and most effective school of Feng Shui. In this system, each building is treated individually according to its own unique nature of siting and time of being built. It’s energy can be assessed for its potential for bringing good fortune to the occupants. Prosperity can be strengthened and difficult influences remedied. The extensive principles can be applied to existing buildings, or incorporated into design, renovations, and extensions. Incorporated into architecture for new buildings, Feng Shui can enable buildings to be built that are prosperous and sustainable, and support health, prosperity and relationship harmony, indeed all aspects of human wellbeing.

Training Program

The training program begins in March 2010 and will train you to practitioner level. It will teach the complete system of Flying Star Feng Shui, including how to draw up a building’s Flying Star energy chart and its interpretation. Considerable applications to home, business and design will be examined and numerous case studies explored. Participants will be able to competently apply Flying Star Feng Shui to assess a buildings energy and qualities, and incorporate it into other fields (eg: interior design, real estate, architecture) if desired.

An initial weekend will cover all theory and compass training to be able to draw up a building’s Flying Star chart and begin Feng Shui assessment and analysis. Students will be encouraged to begin building analysis. Saturdays and a second weekend will be a combination of further theory and analysis, applications, and assessment of many examples, case Extensive coaching and training in consultations is unique to this training program.
