Feng Shui

Feng Shui As those of you who read my opinion will know, I have a deep interest in alternative medicines and therapies etc. One of these interests is feng shui - I recently had an opportunity to attend a talk on the subject, which was given by a professional feng shui consultant. I found her presentation both interesting and entertaining and came away, to a certain respect inspired, but also just a little bit sceptical. This opinion takes on board some of the things which she discussed in her presentation – I hope I was listening properly! The consultant started her presentation by telling us about the history of feng shui and how it ...  Read the complete review

Feng Shui means “wind and water”, and is the ancient Chinese art of creating and maintaining good fortune. It is an enticing blend of many aspects of eastern cultural beliefs, including astrology, the I-ching and folklore, and offers practitioners the apparent opportunity to improve and enhance the quality of their lives. In recent years, Feng Shui has been rapidly increasing in popularity in the west, with its image of being an environmentally friendly alternative to science, a tool for the attainment of career goals and new relationships, and a panacea for the assorted problems of modern living. I have read a fair number of books on Feng Shui ...  Read the complete review

Feng Shui is not to be mistaken with similarly strange named martial arts originating from the Orient! Literally translated Feng Shui means 'wind and water', although different sources do say different things. It is a Chinese art which deals with the placement of objects to promote good things in the human spirit and get rid of the bad things. Of course it's all a load of rubbish. Or at least I think so, so why do thousands of people waste time and money on this ludicrous idea, and how on earth can having your toilet seat open be bad for you? Supporters of Feng Shui can laugh at me now, for I have not experienced the power that Feng Shui ...  Read the complete review

As a newcomer to Feng Shui, I am fast becoming an addict! The basic principles centre around channelling energy or chi in a positive way. I am sure you have all heard the almost superstitious 'rules' such as keeping your toilet lid closed and not sleeping facing a mirror and whether there is any truth in these I cannot say. These are the 'rules' which have earned Feng Shui it's 'claptrap' status among a lot of the sceptics but I believe you need to approach it in a different way. Indeed if you consider some of the superstitions of British culture, such as not walking under ladders and repeating 'white rabbit' three times on ...  Read the complete review

Feng Shui seemed to be the in vogue word last year, and I fought against jumping on that particular bandwagon, however I have to admit I did recently succumb. One of my colleagues at work is very "into" Feng Shui, and after much persuasion I decided to give it a go, and see if it would bring any improvements to my life. A lot of FTSE 100 companies have been adopting the technique in the offices in order to make the best use of the positive energy forces, and they are hardly likely to waste vast amounts of money on an unproven theory...or are they?? My friend decided to concentrate on a few areas of my life in order to maximise the Feng Shui. ...  Read the complete review
