What gives a site good feng shui?
There is an ancient school of feng shui that examines land formations and waterways to find the beneficial energy lines of the Earth. Houses which are situated in the protective and secure locations offered by the these land features have good Chi. Called the Form School, it uses the symbolism of animals to describe the most beneficial natural features.
Most important is protection behind the building site, which in natural landscape would be a hill or mountain (the Pillow Mountain). On either side of the mountain there would be smaller mountains or hills, called the White Tiger and the Green Dragon. The site faces a smaller hill (The Desk Mountain) with an open view or a body of water in between.
There is a location here in Victoria that illustrates this principle beautifully and the first named auspicious feng shui site in Canada. I’ve included two photographs here: the first is the sign marking the site and the second the site itself, although it is hard to pick out the features from this vantage point.

As Interior Alignment™ practitioners we actively use the form school in urban settings by using structures that are found in cities. For example tall trees or higher buildings in the back of your home represent the Pillow Mountain. Smaller buildings or plants on either side of the home represent the tiger and dragon.
We also use the principles inside the home, or the office to create ideal placement of furniture and energy flow, so that people feel secure and supported.
