"Where did Feng Shui begin, give us a little history about it. Feng Shui started in China over 3,000 years ago it’s a very old science, the emperors had a meteorologist that studied the dynamics of the earth, the moon and the stars and the energy when the earth shifts. Energy’s changed every year so it’s a major shift every year so that’s why new readings are done every year, really! Yeah you’re going to have to have a new reading every year because it changes sometimes it changes a little bit sometimes a lot. And so it’s done from China because of that the emperors wanted to do that and then they had coded all the calculations into poetry and the poetry the reason they wanted to do that was they didn’t want the common people to gain this knowledge because if you gain this knowledge you can create success for yourself. So one of the meteorologists had stolen the secrets and it’s dispersed to the common people. “Naughty Boy”….I think it is for us, right! So that’s how it’s been passed on over the years through this poetry, sometimes people mistake the poetry for a literal sense because they correlate like the rooster, the horse you’ll see that in the Chinese zodiac. Right! But those animals correlate to a direction on the compass it correlates to either to north, northeast, south so everyone of those symbolism is based on what is on a compass. So it’s a very in depth science. It’s a very in depth science Feng Shui, it’s basically balancing the energies. Where did you go to school to learn Feng Shui? I went to The American Feng Shui Institute it’s in Monterey Park and I learned that. How long of a program is this? It really depends on what they offer they usually offer a class every month, beginning, intermediate, advance and some are really advanced classes. "
