Chi is the life force that runs through everything; feng shui, which means literally "wind and water," is the art of placing things in harmony with the environment, so that chi can flow freely. Feng Shui: Creating Environments for Success and Well-Being is an introduction to this Chinese art form that seeks to give you peace and happiness in your life. It doesn't matter whether you believe in feng shui or not, the video tells us; you don't have any choice in the matter--"your destiny intertwines with the workings of nature and the universe." Beginning with testimonies from those whose lives have been improved by feng shui and a brief explanation of its workings, master Lin Yun and expert Deborah Gee set about to improve a house using the basic elements of this form. By moving furniture, adding chimes and mirrors, and changing colors, the chi in the house is able to move without obstruction, enhancing career, relationships, and health and reducing tension and stress. This video comes with a card listing the nine feng shui remedies, which are explained in the video, and with a diagram of a bagua, the octagonal compass used to determine how the chi in your space affects your life. This is an informative introduction that will help you to revitalize your home or office, using the "interior design [of] your third eye." --Jenny Brown

5.0 out of 5 stars Started a Passion, March 19, 2000

This review is from: Feng Shui [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I saw parts of this video on Boston's PBS station. I found the video in the library, and after watching it, I bundled my son off to buy mirrors, crystal balls, windchimes, and plants.

A few months ago, I rearranged the furniture in my livingroom to make it appear more spacious. Prior to the rearranging, I never spent any more time in the livingroom than was absolutely necessary. Since then, you can't get me out of there.

There are dark corners and sharp bends in my house that have grated on me whenever I came near. My instincts told me to buy mirrors and lights to reduce these irritations. After viewing this film, I thought, "I'm not waiting a moment more."

One other thing - the type of Feng Shui that is presented is based on the entrance to a room, not its actual geographical orientation. Not only does that eliminate the need for compasses (well discussed in the video), it makes for a quick and easy understanding of Feng Shui.

I am convinced that Feng Shui will work.

1.0 out of 5 stars Complete waste of money and time, November 1, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Feng Shui [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This tape is not as great as it may seem. I saw this tape on PBS last year and thought it would be a good tape with a lot of helpful information...WAS I WRONG!!!!!! this tape runs about 60 mins and for the first half of the tape it is filled with testimoies of how feng shui has helped them. If I am not a beleiver, I would not have purchase the tape in the first place!this tape spends to much time trying to convince you that feng shui is real. I was hoping the tape would provide me with more useful information. for those who saw this on PBS, you already saw the entire tape! There is nothing new on it. This tape is a huge disappointment.

5.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyed this on TV and wanted a copy of the video ..., September 24, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Feng Shui [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I saw this video as a program on PBS-TV (Public Broadcasting Service) and liked the practical, easy-to-understand suggestions. Especially convincing were testimonials by ordinary people who describe how Feng Shui principles of organizing their homes and offices made a difference in their well-being, health, and business success.

Included with the video is a bagua, an 8-sided drawing that is demonstrated in the film and used for locating areas in a house or room where aspects of one's life (career, marriage, children, self-knowledge, etc.) are being impacted by "chi" (subtle energy). Also included is a list of Feng Shui remedies that were explained in the video (mirrors, wind chimes, plants, etc.)

Useful, practical advice from two recognized experts of the Black Tantric Sect of Feng Shui, Deborah Gee and Lin Yun -- very well done!
