I've been interested in Feng Shui for a long time but never found a good, basic guide for understanding Feng Shui and applying it to my home and life. When I saw this book available on Netgalley, I hoped that this would be my gateway to understanding more about Feng Shui and I wasn't disappointed.
The information on this book is very well organized and in-depth, with information not only on how natural formations can impact your life, but also the objects in your home. While I was aware that the direction your front door faces can have an impact on your life, I had no idea that where my stove or toilets were placed could have an impact as well.
Using the two types of Feng Shui (Eight Mansions and Flying Stars) and how to determine y I can apply the guidance to my house and hopefully make it more harmonious. Although I live in an apartment and I'm limited in any physical changes I can make, the book has many tips and suggestions to weaken or diminish any negative energies found in my home.
Of the two Feng Shui systems, the Eight Mansions was far easier to understand. All the information is well laid out in terms a a true beginner like me can understand, but it's going to take some time to get a better understanding of Flying Stars and I look forward to studying it further.
Overall, an exceptional book for learning the basics of Feng Shui and I recommend it whether you're a beginner looking for an introduction, or a practitioner looking for a strong reference book and would make a great gift.
Thank you to Llewellyn Publications and Netgalley for an advanced copy in return for an honest review
