The Art & Science of Feng Shui: The Ancient Chinese Tradition of Shaping Fate [Paperback]

Henry Lin (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: November 8, 2000

True feng shui is more malleable than the feng shui popularized by most Western authors. It is not a strict science with standard rules, it is an art that demands intuition, imagination and creative understanding. The author, a native of China, combines insight into how feng shui fits within the framework of Taoist thought with practical advice, and a guide to show the reader how to find the right property. The same property can have a different effect on different residents; the author explains why and how to counteract any irregularities or deficiencies. The book also includes the origins and history of feng shui and case studies of Mao's residence, amongst others.

Excellent book to use before you build a house! Deeply explores ancient principles of Feng Shui and how it relates to the geography around your residence. Not for the casual Feng Shui practitioner.

This review is from: The Art & Science of Feng Shui: The Ancient Chinese Tradition of Shaping Fate (Paperback)

This is a fantastic book! It brings out the true story of feng shui the first time in English. Now I realize that true feng shui involves much more than furniture arrangement and mirror placing and what you have, and that why so many people have failed to benefit from feng shui when they assume that they understand feng shui. At best, they just see the surface of feng shui, while the truth story of feng shui is hidden in this book.
