Book Description

December 1, 2000

Use the principles of feng shui to promote both inner and outer beauty.


• Includes daily exercises to deepen self-awareness, alter destructive behavior patterns, and create an effective spiritual practice.


• An excellent way to treat skin-care problems such as wrinkles, acne, and dryness without resorting to medications.


• By the author of Body Feng Shui.


Many people are now familiar with the use of feng shui to design living spaces that harmonize with the landscape and that enhance the positive aspects of one's life. Few people know, however, that these same feng shui principles can be applied to the human body to chart the relationship between inner character and outer appearance. Focusing on the special needs of women, Beauty Feng Shui explains the spiritual and physical meaning of each part of the body according to min xiang shue--body feng shui--and provides exercises and meditations to restore harmony to those areas compromised by energy imbalances. A wide spectrum of specific beauty and health concerns is addressed, including acne, menstrual cramps, wrinkles, and overly dry or oily skin. 

But beauty is not only skin deep. Chao-Hsiu Chen also discusses inner beauty and how to strengthen it through meditation, visualization, and imagination. She includes daily exercises that allow the reader to deepen self-awareness, alter destructive behavior patterns, and create an effective spiritual practice. More than one hundred illustrations show these exercises and special Chinese characters for use in meditation and visualization.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beauty Feng Shui, October 12, 2002
This review is from: Beauty Feng Shui: Chinese Techniques for Unveiling Your Inner Beauty (Paperback)
Beauty Feng Shui: Chinese Techniques for Unveiling Your Inner Beauty explains "how you, without substantial outlays of time or money, can attain the beauty results you want." A feng shui consultant, author Chao-Hsiu Chen has also studied Buddhism, Tao, and yoga. This is her second feng shui book.

Feng shui is the Chinese art of arranging one's life and surroundings in a way that's harmonious with the environment and universe. It's a 5,000 year-old practice based on observations of the natural world. Chen presents a series of simple exercises and techniques designed to achieve external beauty based on internal beauty.

She starts the external routines with the face, beginning with proper cleansing, and then tells how tp stimulate the circulation. She provides similar information for each part of the body.

Chen then details exercises for a variety of physical problems specific to women, including skin problems, puffy faces, wrinkles, and menstrual difficulties. The next section is called "The Way To Inner Beauty" and includes instructions on meditation, visualization, and exercises for replacing bad habits with good habits.

The section on harmonizing internal and external beauty provides information on things like proper breathing techniques and spiritual practices.

Chen also includes appendices on specific beauty programs, including one called "The Fifty-Point Program for Beauty and Eternal Youth."

Each exercise is illustrated so that the instructions are clear. The exercises all have Chinese names, such as "Morning Dew as Smooth as Jade" for skin. Each name is accompanied by a full-page drawing of the Chinese character for that name.

Beauty Feng Shui is for every woman who believes that beauty is "the art of making the best out of every one of nature's gifts." It provides women with all the guidance they need for incorporating feng shui harmony into their personal beauty and health practices.
