Feng Shui has been around for thousands of years. Since then, different styles of Feng Shui have developed. Even though the basic concepts stay the same, each one features a slightly different approach for the topic:
Form School
* Centers predominantly with the curves of physical landscapes, their form, size and watercourse, as well as the connection between the actual physical formations as well as a dwelling.
* The four Directions regarding the compass are represented by the 4 celestial creatures; the Green Dragon (East), the Red Phoenix (South), the White Tiger (West) and also the Black Turtle (North).
Traditional Chinese Compass School
* Originated in China over three thousand years in the past, having the first textual reference mentioned in 256BCE (Before Christian Era)
* Founded upon a methodical, formulaic way of Feng Shui which is thousands of years old.
* Career sector with the Eight Trigrams is usually focused towards the magnetic North. .
The aforementioned methods are used by The Geomancer.
Black Hat Sect (BHS) Tantric Buddhist
A more recent way of thinking, which is widely practiced in the U.S.A. Developed 15 years ago by Thomas Lin Yun, it's a crossbreed of Tibetan Buddhism, Taoism and Feng Shui made easier for Western tastes. It has got a large cult following.
With this particular school of Feng Shui, rather than using the traditional magnetic compass (Lo Pan) to ascertain directions, every home or area is evaluated by the position of its doorway. BHS Feng Shui states that the main doorway to each room faces the career sector. This may result in nearby rooms or houses possessing seemingly contradictory directions.
* Popularized in America ever since 1986
* Founded on a much more spiritual way to Feng Shui
* Pertains to the 8 Trigrams as being the 'Ba Gua'
* Career sector regarding the Eight Trigrams is always oriented towards the principal door.

Intuitive Feng Shui
There's a lot of talk regarding 'intuitive feng shui'. However, Feng Shui, which includes its very own list of rules, can't be considered more instinctive than either geography or even physics. Personal users may be a lot more perceptive as compared to others, but Feng Shui modifications have to be based on the rules and not simply a 'sensation'.
How do I pick a practitioner that's ideal for me?
Go with your intuition!
If what the specialist recommends is sensible to you and you also feel good about the alterations he/she proposes, you've found a match up!
Nevertheless, if placing a statue of Buddha near your front door, putting red Avery labels on your walls, hanging red-tasseled bamboo flutes over your entrances and putting a 'green cylindrical object upon your roof, to attract nurturing wood energy' are a bit far from your own designing type - dismiss your practitioner. (Payment does not have to be enclosed in red envelopes also!)
Besides, REAL Feng Shui remedies utilize only the 5 components - Water, Earth, Fire, Metal and Wood, and never such things as mirrors, flutes, incense or prayers!
