Product Description
For thousands of years, the effect of environmental factors on living has been studied throughout Asia. Known as feng shui, this science allows you to determine the best location and direction of your home and workplace. It even shows where the rooms in your home should be to best facilitate energy flow. It is a complex science, but it is clearly explained by Richard Webster in
Feng Shui for Beginners.
In this book you'll learn about the two major schools of this science. The Form School looks at the shape of the land, the shape of your building, and even its direction in relation to the land around it. For example, you'll learn that wrought iron fences with sharp points should be avoided, gardens along the driveways are beneficial, and desks and beds should be against a wall.
The Compass School is based on the pa-kua, an octagonal symbol surrounding the famous yin-yang. Each side is related to one of the eight trigrams from the I Ching, and is related to certain energies. If you are planning a house, you can put a pa-kua over the plans and determine which direction your home should face and the best way to arrange the rooms.

If you need more success and happiness, this book can show you the way.
Publisher Description
When I walk out my door, I'm only a few dozen yards from a gorgeous lake. (Of course, that's not uncommon here in Minnesota, the land of 10,000 lakes!) When I walk by the lake I feel different; more centered and balanced. Perhaps you've noticed something similar when you are near a lake, stream, or ocean. Today science tells us this is due to negative ions. But the effect of the environment on buildings and life has been studied in the Orient for thousands of years. Donald Trump uses the methods of this science, feng shui – shouldn't you? Now you can with
Feng Shui for Beginners.
A large part of feng shui involves the design of buildings so they are in harmony with the landscape and at the best direction and shape to ensure the free flow of energy (ch'i). Here you'll learn about the two major traditions schools of this science, the Form School and the Compass School. As a special, free offer, every purchaser of this book can get a transparent compass to put over any floor plan to determine the best design for the free flow of ch'i so you can have better health, more prosperity and greater happiness.
When I purchased my home, it was already built. So my favorite part of this book is all the information on how you can correct blocked ch'i or "bad" ch'i. According to author Richard Webster, things like pets, mirrors, aquariums, and large objects can help the good ch'i flow. That's why I have all of these things in my home. These simple items bring comfort and make me feel better.
Does it work? Is it all subjective? All I can say is that it works for me. It works for Donald Trump. It works for millions of people all over the world. It can work for you, too!
Reader ReviewsAn absolutely wonderful book full of useful information. The author has put together an easily read text with practical advice. Not confusing like most feng shui books. It is THE best beginner's book on this subject that I have found. Once you have assimilated the basics, then you can go on to the more detailed tomes.
