I have always wanted to know more about Feng Shui.It was interesting but also sounded like it was just q bunch of superstition for the most part. I appreciate the cultural implications of it though. I liked the the book was organized nicely and the information was precise. Following Feng Shui fully is not for me though. I did get some really helpful ideas and tips that I would like to incorporate though
This was more of the typical Feng-Shui tips, although in this one I did learn that my Kua number indicates I should hang windchimes (preferably with a hanging crystal that catches the light) in the southwest area in my master bedroom if I truly want to attract romance in my life. Hm. Interesting...All in all, it's a fun, easy look into the Feng Shui principles and how they can supposedly help you in your love life, your career, home, and in feeling things coming together. Another hint: No matter where you have a toilet in your home, it's bad Feng Shui. I suppose only hard core believers would go back to the outhouse days though! Entertaining.
I am a feng shui junkie and these tips are great. It gives suggestions on how to use colors, where to place your furniture, how many goldfish to keep, your auspicious directions based on your KUA number, how to set up your office for career success, and much more. I remember I used one of the techniques in this book to get my boyfriend to propose - I have now been happily married to him for 5 years! This stuff really works.
As a Traditional Feng Shui practitioner, I was highly put off by all the superstitious nonsense and tchotchkes that she was trying to sell. You do not need this stuff to practice Feng Shui. It is a basic feng shui book that prays on the minds of the gullible and will only serve to confuse you. Thank God I got it for free. I will copy this review to the one other book I read of hers, because it is the same.
Lillian Too explains feng shui in such an approachable, simple way. Easy-to-use is an apt description for her books. She includes some great photographs, has a few little charming anecdotes throughout the book, and frequently explains WHY you should hang a wind chime in that corner. (Understanding is half of the battle!)
I have a soft spot for this book. It requires careful reading and understanding. I picked this up eons ago but can hardly say I understand it back then as now. Finishing the book makes me sad but I'm glad she has written so many sequels
I love Feng Shui and Lillian Too is the Mother of it all as far as exposing the west to this ancient practice. 168 different changes to make in your home to affect changes in your life!
Sort of classis Feng Shui advice, but great basics. Tips for calculating your Kua # and then working around the house for a better flow and greater positive energy.
