Excellent overview of Feng Shui

A good friend recently gave me a lovely gift, HOME DESIGN WITH FENG SHUI A-Z by Terah Kathryn Collins . . . it hit me at just the right moment because I've recently been giving a lot of thought about how to simplify not only my life, but also my home environment.Feng Shui (pronounced FUNG SHWAY), meaning "Wind and Water," has been practiced for over 3,000 years in China. Yet itcan still be applied today to deal with the same essentialissues that were in vogue then: pursuit of health, prosperityand happiness.This excellent book succinctly shows how any room canbe designed to help get the life you want . . . there were manymemorable passages; among them: Spray a cleansing mist along the baseboards and into all the corners to revitalize a space. Cleansing mists contain citrus oil and can be purchased where health food and aromatherapy products are sold. Or make your own be adding a couple of drops of orange or lemon essential oils to an atomizer filled with water.One of the quickest ways to calm a bedroom down (along with its occupants) is to remove or over the mirrors. . . . You can treat large mirrors, with beautiful curtains or shades that can be opened by day and closed by night. Other mirrors can be moved to a more active room or draped with fabric at night. This is especially important if the bedroom's occupants are not sleeping well there. Do you believe in yourself? Do you hold the vision of being a great success? Have you clearly defined your purpose in life? Meditate on how to align your purpose in life with your professional goals. Post affirmations that keep you inspired, such as "EVERYTHING I TOUCH IS A SUCCESS," and "EVERY DAY MY WORK ATTRACTS MAGNIFICENT PEOPLE AND OPPORTUNITIES INTO MY LIFE."

Easy to Understand Feng Shui

Great book to learn the basics of Feng Shui. Easy to reference and understand. This book makes it easy to apply the principles of Feng Shui to your home, apt, etc... The book itself it also very eye appealling and colorful.

Simplicity at it's best...

Have a lot going on in your life? Feel like your pushed for time? Does the thought of opening up a book chock full of unfamiliar territory make you shiver - or conversely, do you get frustrated wanting the author to 'cut to the chase' already? If your mind is already full of clutter and you just want the simple basics about feng shui - this is the book you want. It's pleasant, warm, quick and informative without bogging you down. A very simple, pleasant way to learn the basics of feng shui. It's the "Baby Bear" book of feng shui; Mama bear's book was too hot. Papa bear's book was too cold. But Baby bear's book was juuuuust right!

Feng Shui One Can Actually Understand

I've picked up many Feng Shui books in the past and they have only confused me. Guess I needed this a-z guide with actual instructions and tips spelled out clearly. And although it is set up alphabetically, a great read from start to finish as well. I really appreciated the simplicity of it. Turn to B for Bedrooms for example and see that you need to get the exercise equipment out of there and it clearly tells you why. Check out the section on mirrors, they can remedy almost any situation.

Great

I like it a lot. It was easy to read and great for beginners to Feng Shui. You can't miss with it. We're buying our first home and I'm looking forward to using it. It doesn't dictate to the reader, it gives you suggestions.
