Book Description

Publication Date: May 2002

For over 10 years, an ever-growing audience in the West has been using the ancient Eastern science of feng shui to improve every area of their lives. Feng Shui Fusion is perfect for anyone who has longed for a feng shui program to take them through the year, offering simple rules to follow season by season, according to the elements of the feng shui cycle: water/winter; wood/spring; fire/summer; metal/autumn; and earth/transition. Jane Butler-Biggs, best-selling author of Feng Shui in 10 Simple Lessons, has created an easy-to-follow workbook that helps readers apply feng shui guidelines to organize both their living space and day-to-day schedule. Arranged in five easy-to-follow chapters-one for each season and its affiliated element, plus one for the transitional period between seasons-this unique guide provides a straightforward explanation of the elements, and how they can affect and improve everything from your diet and exercise program to your emotional well-being. Readers will discover the ways feng shui principles can shape their personality-and use them to boost strengths and compensate for weaknesses. They'll also discover unique feng shui recipes for feeding their "water energy," or emotional well-being; encouraging creativity with bright colors like yellow, orange, and red; cultivating patience and tolerance; and much more. With the time-proven help found in this resource, readers can get back in touch with their inner energy and improve their life from the inside out every single day of the year.

"Feng Shui Fusion" is a beautiful book. Throughout, many colors are used. There are amusing illustrations. There are fancy, scrolly fonts and plain, sans-serif fonts. There are useful bits of information set off on their own from the rest of the text, in little boxes or circles. Unfortunately, all of these features make this book very difficult to read.

Imagine Brad Pitt walks up to you on the street and tells you to eat more vegetables, then walks away. Are you going to think, "I should eat more vegetables," or are you just going to watch Brad Pitt walk away, and think "omigosh! That Brad Pitt guy with the nice buns and stringy hair just talked to me!"

Well, it's kinda like that.

I found "Feng Shui Fusion" in the yoga section of my local bookstore. This book integrates Feng Shui principles with yoga, emotional wellbeing, and food. Five chapters discuss the five elements of Feng Shui as they relate to the seasons of the year, and to our own bodies and experiences. The chapters are Winter/Water; Spring/Wood; Summer/Fire; Earth Transience, which somewhat relates to the harvest season of the year, Indian Summer; and Fall/Metal. This integration of Feng Shui with different aspects of life is interesting and potentially very useful. I think more attention should have been given to the actual content of the book, though, and restraint exercised with the design elements of it.

There are some complicated things in this books, very true. The illustrations are enjoyable, and some of the material is nice, some of it get's very involved, and seems like you have to know a lot about feng sghui already. It's not in the best order either. But, still some positive messages in this book, and interesting concepts.
