The Complete Illustrated Guide to Feng Shui: How to Apply the Secrets of Chinese Wisdom for Health, Wealth and Happiness

Feng Shui is the 4,000-year-old Chinese art of living in harmony with your environment. This illustrated introduction is the first Western book to offer the clarity, authenticity, and practical applications presented by Lillian Too. Writing from personal experience, Too explains the role of Feng Shui in the thriving economies of the East, and reveals the secrets of the art. Full color. Size D. $100,000 budget.”Water represents money and signifies the flow of wealth. To activate this symbol of prosperity….” Lillian Too is the grande dame of writers on systematic Feng Shui. Hailing from Hong Kong, the Feng Shui capital of the world, Too is steeped in the theories and practices of this complex and arcane path of personal and life enhancement. In The Complete Illustrated Guide to Feng Shui, Too reveals a wealth of methods and tools to facilitate the flow of good ch’i in your life. From the size of your furniture to the direction your oven faces, from the shape of surrounding mountains to the year you were born–all of these can affect your life. Through the use of plants, colors, crystals, and mirrors, Too shows how to situate the things in your life to make the most of every situation. It is also essential that one is able to personalize Feng Shui remedies, and to this end, Too includes charts for determining how each reader, depending on birth, age, and gender, fits into the order of things. The eye-popping illustrations make the foreign familiar and make the Complete Illustrated Guide an authority you’ll be turning to again and again. –Wilifred Kim

Back to School Feng Shui Tips

It’s back-to-school time! Notebooks are ready, pencils sharpened, laptops fully charged (hey, we’re talking up-to-date Feng Shui here). Your kids are ready to learn!

But, when they head off to do their homework, are they walking into a room that will help them learn or into a room that will actually block the flow of knowledge?

In other words, does their bedroom get an “A” or an “F” in learning?

Here’s Master Peter Reiss’ Feng Shui Guide to a Learning Friendly Kid’s Room, Part 1: K-4.

Getting In

First things first. If the door is blocked the ch’i or energy can’t get in. Studying without Ch’i in the room is like trying to read with the lights out. No matter how hard you try you won’t get very far in the book.

Clear out everything from behind the door. Hooks on the door? They’re invitations for piles of jackets. Hangers in the closet help keep space clear. (It’s also good to start early—hanging things up where they belong is a great life lesson.)

Placement

The best place for your child’s desk is in the Knowledge area of the room. We use the Bagua or energy map to determine the all the different areas but an easy way for now is to stand in the door looking in. The immediate left corner of the room is knowledge. If the door itself is in knowledge try centering the desk on the same wall (Career) or in the far left corner (Wealth).

Color

The Feng Shui Color for Knowledge and Wisdom is blue. Soft blue is a calming, supportive color for a child’s room. Soft green also works (think Spring and new growth). Raise the vibrational level for learning by adding blues of different shades and brightness. You can use sheets, furniture, art, but remember: not too bright. “Jangly” ch’i is not study ch’i. (And please, no red walls.)

Use Blue in the Knowledge to boost the ch’i level. Oh, and a blue study chair is a great idea, too.

Light

Light energy is Feng Shui Power. Make sure there’s plenty of clear bright light in the study area. It’ll help keep the study ch’i up and the sleepy ch’i down.

Adding a bright light near the Knowledge area will also be a boost. How about a blue lamp?

Miscellaneous

Miscellaneous? That’s a good Feng Shui term for “all that stuff”. To create a proper environment to nurture that young mind the mantra should be “less is more”. Less stuff to move to create More room to spread out the home work projects. Less stuff to distract so there’s More concentration on the task at hand.

Less stuff to trip on as your son or daughter tries to find the desk while carrying More and More homework.

Remember, the more patterns and habits you establish now when the kids are little, the less you’ll have to battle as they grow.
