Feng Shui for your home

Loved this book. Great for beginners, very practical information with helpful cures.

Simple, effective and easy way to apply Feng Shui ......

Great book: well-structured, beautifully-illustrated and easy to use. In addition, Shurety has translated her experience of Feng Shui into a modern home environment. She also focuses on the application rather than the theory.Also tackles other areas of life, providing a well-rounded overview of the topic and its implementation.Well worth reading and highly recommended.

The most helpful and practical book I've seen on Feng Shui

I found this book at my local public library and now I MUST buy it. Of the 10-15 books on Feng Shui I've read, this one is the easiest to use. Shurety goes through, room by room, and gives suggestions to improve the Feng Shui. For example, in the chapter on sitting rooms, she says "Keep all shelving as low-level as possible to prevent the feeling that everything is tumbling down on you." Probably the most useful part of this book is the diagrams of each room which illustrate auspicious placement to improve the room's energy. Shurety also explains the bagua, the nine cures, and the five elements and how to use them. I found the discussion on cleansing rituals at the end a little strange and probably something I won't use, but in general, I highly recommend this book.

Great read. One of my best investments this year. Go for it!

If you are looking for clarity, straight-forward and worthwhile advice, as well as easy-to- implement changes to your life-style, THIS IS THE BOOK!!!It's packed with illustrations, diagrams and comments that are difficult to find anywhere else without ploughing through endless documentation.I have begun to apply some of Sarah's advice and can feel how quickly these improvements are paying off.I strongly recommend you read this book ... no doubt a "classic" and a reference in waiting.
