Imperial Feng Shui is a prestigious and enigmatic art form once exclusively reserved for the Chinese Imperial Family. Throughout dynastic Chinese history, this elite branch of Feng Shui was shrouded in secrecy, closely guarded for its powerful ability to influence energy and destiny.

In this introduction to Imperial Feng Shui, we will explore how this ancient art, through the use of meticulously selected treasures like jadeite, agarwood, and sandalwood, brings transformative changes to people’s lives.

The Differences between Classical and Imperial Feng Shui

Imperial Feng Shui thrived during the reign of Emperor Qian Long in the Qing dynasty, credited with fostering prolonged periods of prosperity and wealth. Emperor Qian Long himself was a fervent advocate, believing in the power of Imperial Feng Shui to enhance the fortunes of the entire imperial court.

Classical Feng Shui is rooted in the belief in a fixed fate for each individual, whereas Imperial Feng Shui empowers people to actively seek out and fulfil their ambitions and dreams.

Classical Feng Shui often suggests that our lives are shaped by pre-ordained cycles of fortune and paths, recommending that we act harmoniously with these cycles. In contrast, Imperial Feng Shui takes a dynamic approach, encouraging us to shape and forge our destinies to reach our full potential at every stage of our lives. This form of Feng Shui focuses on understanding the forces of luck, simultaneously creating a consistent state of good luck.

Decoding the Science of Luck

History of Imperial Feng Shui

The origins of Feng Shui can be traced to the works of Guo Pu, a distinguished historian and scholar during the Eastern Jin Dynasty (317 to 420 CE). His contributions to the art and understanding of Feng Shui are monumental, primarily through his commentary on the “Book of Burial” (葬经), which laid down the essential principles of geomancy. In this text, he underscores the importance of harmonising human endeavours with the earth’s natural energies to promote prosperity and well-being.

Centuries later, during the Qing dynasty, the influence of Feng Shui expanded significantly, especially under the reign of Emperor Qian Long. A passionate advocate of Imperial Feng Shui, Emperor Qian Long saw it evolve into a form tailored exclusively for the imperial court. During his reign, skilled Imperial Feng Shui masters, both scholars and sages deeply knowledgeable in the art, were tasked with improving the fortune and health of the Imperial family and their extensive estates.

These masters conducted extensive research, leveraging the powerful forces of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements (五行) in creating optimal environments to manifest wealth, health, and success. Their discoveries highlighted the significance of earthly treasures such as jadeite, agarwood, and sandalwood, which were key in enhancing Qi energy and were thought to embody the principles of the Four Phenomena (四象), crucial for fostering good fortune and increasing wealth capacity.

Today, these once-secretive practices have been disclosed, enriching modern Feng Shui applications and enabling a broader audience to harness Imperial Feng Shui’s ancient wisdom.

Foundations of Imperial Feng Shui: Bagua (八卦)

Imperial Feng Shui is deeply rooted in ancient Chinese cosmology, beginning with the concept of Bagua.

Before the universe took its current form, it existed in a vague and amorphous state, described in the I-Ching (易经) as Wuji, or the Great Ultimate. This stage represents the undefined cosmic potential. Taiji, Yin and Yang and the Four Phenomena are the building blocks of Bagua.

Foundations of Imperial Feng Shui: Taiji (太极), Yin and Yang (阴阳)

From the state of Wuji, the universe began to differentiate. Light, clear forces ascended to form the Heavens, while heavier, denser forces settled to become the Earth. This union of Heaven and Earth energies gave rise to Taiji, the supreme ultimate, which encompasses all material existence.

Within Taiji, the dynamic interplay of Yin (dark, receptive) and Yang (bright, active) emerged. These complementary forces are depicted in the iconic Taiji symbol, where they intertwine in a harmonious S-shaped pattern, driving the evolution and transformation of life.

Foundations of Imperial Feng Shui: Four Phenomena (四象)

The interplay of Yin and Yang further evolves into the Four Phenomena — Major Yang, Minor Yang, Major Yin, and Minor Yin. These elements represent the four seasons, the four life stages, and the four cardinal directions. Each of these aspects influences the flow of energy in the environment.

Four Phenomena governs the Four Quadrants of an Individual’s destiny chart:

• Major Yin (太阴) governs five domains of a person’s wealth: career, business, windfall, trading and investment, influencing the conscious decisions, events and people they encounter.
• Minor Yang (少阳) governs a person’s intuition. This phenomenon influences the subconscious decisions that guide their instincts and gut feelings, guiding individuals towards insightful choices in their personal and professional lives.
• Major Yang (太阳) governs a person’s direct wealth capacity which dictates the size of income and wealth accumulation potential from career and business.
• Minor Yin (少阴) governs a person’s indirect wealth capacity which dictates the size of income and wealth accumulation potential from windfall, trading and investment.

Two Types of Wealth Capacity

On the other hand, wealth capacity encapsulates the dynamics of an individual’s financial journey throughout their lifetime and their potential for accumulating wealth. It includes financial opportunities, determining the opportunities, constraints, and income potentials that shape one’s economic trajectory.

According to Imperial Feng Shui, wealth is derived from both Yin and Yang income sources. Yang income sources are defined by direct wealth accumulation, such as through career and business endeavours. Conversely, Yin income success encompasses indirect wealth accumulation, such as gains from windfalls, trading and investments.

Direct wealth capacity (Yang) governs income and wealth accumulation potential from career and business income. Recommended Imperial Harvest Treasure: Imperial Harvest Agarwood

Indirect wealth capacity (Yin) governs income and wealth accumulation potential from windfall, trading and investment. Recommended Imperial Harvest Treasure: Imperial Harvest Sandalwood

Wealth capacity and luck often go hand in hand, and their dynamics may be illustrated through three different scenarios:

• Stable Yet Restricted Financial Growth: Individuals with limited wealth capacity but currently in a good luck cycle may experience a stable, yet financially constrained life. Although free from significant fluctuations, they often encounter stagnation in their business or career.
• Untapped Potential Due to Insufficient Luck: Those with a large wealth capacity but lacking the necessary luck might find themselves unable to capitalise on potential wealth opportunities. These opportunities often slip away, unattained due to the absence of favourable circumstances.
• Flourishing Leaders in Their Fields: Exceptional individuals who have both substantial wealth capacity and favourable luck typically rise to prominence as influential leaders within their industries. Their combined advantages allow them to seize and maximise opportunities that others might miss.

Therefore, by enhancing wealth capacity and personal luck through Imperial Feng Shui, individuals can significantly increase their ability to accumulate wealth over time.

Imperial Harvest Agarwood Collection

Imperial Harvest Agarwood collections are designed to empower the Major Yang of a person’s destiny chart. The Major Yang governs a person’s direct wealth capacity which dictates the size of income and wealth accumulation potential from career and business.

With the commercialisation of agarwood and the extensive cultivation of agarwood trees, over 97% of today’s agarwood is sourced from specialised farms. In commercial settings, these trees are often treated with chemicals to induce the production of resin — a process that naturally takes several hundred years but is reduced to just a few months in farms. This shift towards agricultural production is primarily driven by the need to meet escalating global demand and maximise profitability.

Imperial Harvest distinguishes itself in the preservation of traditional practices by exclusively using wild, naturally occurring agarwood. This commitment emphasises the brand’s dedication to maintaining the authenticity of Imperial Feng Shui-grade agarwood, which has been revered by royal families since the Han Dynasty. By selecting wild agarwood and subjecting it to a proprietary ageing process, Imperial Harvest not only upholds historical traditions but also ensures the unparalleled quality and spiritual significance of its beads and pendants, capturing the true essence of Imperial Feng Shui.

Imperial Harvest Sandalwood Collection

Imperial Harvest Sandalwood collections are designed to empower the Minor Yin of a person’s destiny chart. The Minor Yin governs a person’s indirect wealth capacity which dictates the size of income and wealth accumulation potential from windfall, trading and investment.

Imperial Harvest Sandalwood begins with the inscription of twelve powerful wealth talismans on each raw sandalwood log. Subsequently, Master David performs a series of Imperial Feng Shui rites and rituals, imbuing the logs with blessings from Heaven and Earth. After these ceremonies, the raw sandalwood undergoes a proprietary ageing process. Once matured, it is expertly carved into exquisite Imperial Harvest sandalwood pendants and beads.
