Customer Reviews

Nearly a philosophy.

One of my friends in Chicago practices Feng Shui in her home, office, even her car. What I find when I visit her is a sense of peace. I've carried this little pocket edition from country to country, shared it with my troops, and given many copies away. Facing an enemy is made easier by the bond we share through common knowledge.

Feng Shui - The Art of Living

Wonderful! Simple tips for creating a peaceful and nurturing environment without having to read through pages and pages of 'WHY'. Short and sweet (but thorough) and small enough to keep at my desk for office use, as well! Fabulous colors throughout covering topics from 'Home' to 'Love' - and we could all use a little more 'Love'.........

Enjoy the power of the wind and flow of water

Feng (wind) Shui (water) is the Chinese art or practice of positioning objects to complement the patterns of yin and yang. This wonderful little book can fit in the back pocket of your jeans, yet the text is not so small that you need a magnifying glass to see what it says. Feng Shui has gained popularity in this New Age in which we live. The philosophy, however, is ancient and respected Chinese Art. Although it takes years to master Feng Shui, this little red book is filled with tips that are easy for any beginner, such as I am, to create a more peaceful and energetic environment.Not all of the tips answer the question "why," but some do. I think this is part of the philosophy, for how can anyone explain art or trust? There are many topics covered in this book, including sustenance, light and reflection, water, color and scent, nature, and more. These are some of the tips. (1) Goldfish represent wealth and fertility and should never be placed in the kitchen or bedroom. (2) Get rid of the clutter because "hoarding creates stale energy." (3) Sharp corners and angles in your furniture create a disruptive flow, while rounded objects create harmony. (4) Cool colors create passive energy while warm tones are energetic and passionate. (5) Keep your windows clean to enhance clarity and vision.This little book of art and philosophy are filled with golden nuggets. For me, it is 5 stars.Victoria Tarrani
