Hi!
To add Magento’s layered navigation to a page where you’re showing items simply edit your page in the admin -- under the “Design” tab put this code:

Code:

<reference name="left">
<block type="catalog/layer_view" name="catalog.leftnav" before="-" template="catalog/layer/view.phtml"/>
</reference>

That will show the layered navigation at the very top of the left column on your page.
Do make sure your page layout is “2column with left bar”, under “layout” in the “Design” tab.
