 The Feng Shui compass, traditionally called a lo pan, is a bowl used to access the universal mysteries. A simple lo pan has three rings which provide different bitsof information through an electromagnetic needle. Through its use, the directional flow of energy, or chi, can be determined in each area of your home or office.
There are different types of the Feng Shui compass. It can have as few as three rings or as many as 24, depending on your expertise. Very few masters of Feng Shui can understand the readings on a lo pan which has more than 10 rings.
Reading Your Feng Shui Compass
Your simple lo pan will typically have three rings as mentioned before. One ring, which is called the 24 directions ring, tells you which direction your building faces. The pre-celestial or center ring tells you which direction the chi flows in the environments within your building.
To understand the readings from your lo pan, you will need further study of the concepts of Feng Shui. Basically, you can use the direction your building is facing and
the direction the chi is flowing to decide what objects need to be placed within the space to achieve a harmonious balance. Most beginners use the five elements method. You would determine what elements need to be added to your space to balance the chi so you are in harmony with the universe.
Naturally, there is far more to Feng Shui than just the use of the lo pan. But understanding its use in conjunction with other tenets in this discipline make it a very useful tool for the beginner. Feng Shui is an exact science and is not just a bunch of hooey. The use of a Feng Shui compass, the understanding of the Chinese concepts of yin and yang, and studying the five elements method, allows us to learn to live in harmony with our surroundings.
