The Teaching Tortoise School of Feng Shui

Compass School Feng Shui Certification

Registered with the International Feng Shui Guild

This gold level member school is named after one of the most important icons in feng shui; the tortoise. The tortoise represents the main supportive feature in land form school feng shui. The tenacity and resoluteness of this creature symbolizes the patience that is necessary in obtaining our goals in life. The tortoise shell plate represents the dome of heaven with its square under body representing earth. The 24 plates represent the 24 qi seasons and 24 mountain ring on the Chinese Lo pan compass; the most powerful ring in feng shui calculations. Ancient Chinese legend states Yu the Great witnessed a giant tortoise emerge from the river lo after the flood waters receded. On the back of this tortoise was a mathematical configuration. This configuration is said to contain the secrets of the Universe. The combinations create the 9 numbers of the lo shu grid that contains the dynamics of the earth’s axis, precession of the equinoxes, human DNA components, and other amazing phenomena. The lo shu grid configuration represents the later heavenly ba-gua template used most frequently in feng shui practice.

The Teaching Tortoise School of Feng Shui, Gold Level Member School with the International Feng Shui Guild, takes the student on a journey through time to learn the natural scientific approach to study nature, the backbone to feng shui. Understanding where qi comes from and how qi particles interact with all matter is a powerful concept that should be thoroughly understood when assessing indoor and outdoor environments. Learning about the cosmos, direction, land topography, earth’s energetic lines, and how the combination of these energies impact man, is the vital link to understanding this ancient discipline.
