The study of Feng Shui is a long term process requiring commitment of time and study, experiment and observation. Expertise is a gradual and lengthy process.

My study of Feng Shui began not with belief, but rather with disbelief. The purpose was to either prove or disprove the validity of Feng Shui.

Faith came slowly and steadily. It did not come in one day.

After reading several classics, the first question I asked myself was whether Feng Shui was a reasonable system or baseless nonsense. I was convinced that some parts of Feng Shui formed a concrete logical system while many other Feng Shui materials consisted of nothing but gratuitously deceptive nonsense.

I studied the theories and tried various experiments myself. I have arived at certain conclusions. I still continue to experiment with various theories. Of course, if a teaching is not reasonable, I would not bother even to try no matter how other people proclaim its validity.

How to use Water is the major concern in Feng Shui. I investigated different approaches: San He Shui Fa, Xuan Kong Shui Fa, including activating the Divine Water Dragon and the Castle Gate. Applying or not applying Water makes a great difference. This has provided me assurance of the effectiveness.

However, not every home can enjoy the benefit of Feng Shui. If a home admits evil energy from the door and the door cannot be relocated, then it is useless no matter what you do. If the incoming water and outgoing water outside the house are not proper, then it is also useless no matter what you do. So we can see how little can actually be done.

Rearranging furniture and decoration can improve the qi in a house. It cannot change the qi in a house. Interior decoration can help further to make the appropriate use of space.

Can Feng Shui make you a billionaire? Not in my opinion. If it could, then the world would be filled with billionaires.

Through the use of Feng Shui we can help people improve their lives, but we cannot change their lives.
