Introduction to Traditional Chinese Feng Shui
So, your friends have been telling you that you have to check out this Feng Shui stuff, "it's just magic" they say. "Put a plant in the back left hand corner of your home and you'll get more wealth" the magazines say. "Put a pair of wooden ducks in the back right hand corner and you'll finally get that man riding up on his white stallion to sweep you off your feet" the person on the radio says. "Paint your front door Red to promote yourself" the New Age books say. Right? Or is it?

Well, the above is not Traditional Chinese Feng Shui, it's actually closer to Witchcraft because it is solely based upon your powers of belief. You will get some results whilst being focused upon your desires, but when you start relaxing this focus, it all falls apart. I've met countless folk that have had some results for a week or two, but then....... nothing! Apart from the really odd looking decorations left around their homes and workplaces!

There are a great deal of people out there who will gladly sell you a "Lucky Feng Shui 8 Fingered-Doosey-What's-It's" without a care in the world, and unfortunately here in the West, anything that seems even remotely mystical or intriguing, we have a habit of falling for hook-line-and-sinker! My recommendation to you if you must persist with this line of thought is that you use your own heritage for these sorts of items or rituals. What's the point of telling a Jew that they must have a statue of Buddha in their living room? It goes against the grain, doesn't it?

Feng Shui is really concerned with balancing the energies of your place through the use of the Five Chinese Transformations (commonly known as "Elements") and Yin/Yang theories. As such, there are no Feng Shui items to sell, only knowledge, which I am more than happy to be freely passing on to you.

The influence of the ever changing Universe upon your place (Flying Stars Feng Shui), the observance of your surroundings, the layout of your place, and the people within it are actually the things that need to be analysed before any recommendations can be made, so that your life then progresses in a smooth manner, allowing what should be, to be.

We are not all destined to be millionaires, or rocket scientists! So the results will be different for us all, but rest assured that what we have come to this Earthly plane to do, will become a synchronous and much easier endeavour after correct application of Traditional Chinese Feng Shui! In simple terms, we have less distraction and deviance from our true life path by living in harmony with our place.

Through this simple series of lessons about Traditional Chinese Feng Shui, you will end up being able to draw and interpret the Flying Star Chart for your place! Finally, revealing details about who is being affected, in what way and when!
