5.0 out of 5 stars I am author, September 30, 2000

This review is from: Flying Star Feng Shui Made Easy: Third Edition (Paperback)

Flying Star Feng Shui Made Easy (Xuan Kong) is dedicated solely to Classical or Traditional Chinese Feng Shui. It is the first English publication dedicated solely to the Three Star- Flying Star Feng Shui system. There are many systems and forms of Feng Shui and I have personal experience of their success. The highest form of Feng Shui is combining numerous systems in a way that creates a synergy; this synergy I call "Power Feng Shui".

Most of the books on Classcial Feng Shui focus on the Environment, the East-West or Eight Mansions system and a Two Star - Flying Star system. The Three Star-Flying Star system is usually the last part of the Flying Star Feng Shui system taught in the Western community at workshops and seminars, it is usually referred to as "Advanced Feng Shui". This level overrides the Two Star system and most all of the East-West or Eight Mansion systems. "Flying Star Feng Shui Made Easy" brings you right to the predominant form practiced by professional consultants throughout the world!

Flying Star Feng Shui Made Easy focuses on the advanced level of Feng Shui and prepares one to be a professional Flying Star Feng Shui practioner. This book was designed with the Westerner in mind, but many Asian friends of mine find this book to be easier to understand than traditional Chinese books. This book is presented in a way for you to learn the principles and applications of Flying Star Feng Shui in an enjoyable, quick and efficient manner. For less than $12.00 you will have access to what normally cost hundreds or thousands of dollars in workshops, classes and seminars. I welcome all interested in Feng Shui to the fascinating world of Flying Star Feng Shui.

Best Wishes,

David Twicken, Ph.D., L.Ac.

5.0 out of 5 stars A True Feng Shui Epic., July 24, 2001

By 

Nusserwan Davar (India) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Flying Star Feng Shui Made Easy: Third Edition (Paperback)

Having read more than 3 dozen books on Feng Shui as well as having studied under more than one International Master,I would rate this treatise at the top of the heap of 325 odd titles available.For the beginner Lillian Too's Essential Feng Shui is a must,but for the advanced/serious student you will NOT find any work at least in English which even gets close to this.For that you would have to spend a couple of hundred dollars and do a so called online course.For the first time it is not two stars but three that you are taught to work with.Also a novel first is analysing your personal trigram with the flying stars of your house to find out how your property suits you and your family. Don't think twice---This is the finest book on the market.Buy it and read it over and over and over.Believe me it gets better and better with every read as you develop new insights.

3.0 out of 5 stars EASY... NOT SO..., August 25, 2005

By

This review is from: Flying Star Feng Shui Made Easy: Third Edition (Paperback)

Every books title is there like the baited hook to catch the reader fish. "Easy" is the bait used her and it soon wears thin. If you have no knowledge of Flying Star this book will not really help except to get you running to the bookstore to find one(s)that do. Secondly, if you were hoping for some easy step-by-step instruction book..you ain't really gonna find it here.

The book is like a paperback manual or pocket compendium of Short List of Flyer Star Feng Shui "things to know". In the start of the book you are introduced to elements, cycle, Qi...Yin/Yang and so forth. The author uses a "family" tree scheme..mother, father, oldest, youngest, elders..etc to explain the elements. Gives a brief background information on four branches of traditional Feng Shui and names of founders/ contributors to classical Feng Shui. So far, so good right..wrong. Despite its good points of diagrams, variety, and what seems like little gems of information..the problem is that this book is rather more like a showcase. Different applications Flying Star Feng Shui trying to pass off as indepth or magically demystifying book. A smorgesbord menu with scanty "how to" feel.

This book STARTS off easy enough then just seems to gradually become complicated in part due to its disconnectedness of chapters that serves to further confuse. Also the "remedies" are very short lived, sometimes irrelevently unappliable.

Its an interesting book because its so all over the place you think that you might be onto something. However, this book is NOT going to help the newbie or "get me there fast" Feng Shui person out the unenchanted forest of Feng Shui...(more like into it!)

The book's worth is devalued by trying to be too much to everyone or too much of all of Flying Star Feng Shui instead of just presenting one platform and doing well with it. At best this book might serve as some kind of adjunct or back up for those who have more working knowledge of Flying Star Feng Shui.

Theres are two old saying that applies here "Too many cooks spoil the broth"..."Easy come..Easy go".
