About this title

Synopsis:

Feng Shui is an ancient Chinese practice which finds auspicious sites for buildings and also pinpoints locations within buildings which are most suitable for particular activities. This workbook details the applications of Feng Shui in an easy-to-follow practical way. Sites are chosen in accordance with the natural forces and earth currents of the landscape. In Hong Kong it is said no office or apartment block is built until as geomancer has checked the site.

From the Back Cover:

Feng Shui is the ancient mystical art of Chinese geomancy, now attracting growing interest in the West. At its heart is a deep sensitivity to the natural order that makes it especially relevant to our environmentally-conscious times.

While astrology seeks to find what fate holds in store from signs in the skies above us, Feng Shui takes its omens from the earth below, in particular the relationships between buildings and their surroundings. The 'Feng Shui Handbook' provides an invaluable introduction to this intricate and highly technical subject, a course in understanding and using geomancy to improve the quality of life. Amongst other things, it shows:
· Why certain buildings encourage creativity and enterprise
· Why some houses are good for one person but bad for another
· Why specific interior features should be avoided
· How to encourage beneficial ch'i energy and discourage unfavourable sha
· How to match your home with your Feng Shui horoscope
· How to assess the geomantic characteristics of commercial premises
· How to carry out a Feng Shui survey of your home
