This review is from: Lighting the Eye of the Dragon: Inner Secrets of Taoist Feng Shui (Paperback)

With great sensitivity and kindness, feng shui master Dr. Baolin reveals Taoist esoteric eternal truths. We are all very fortunate that his rare wisdom from the Taoist White Cloud monastery now exists in English! This is the only feng shui book that includes chi kung exercises to cultivate chi; the importance of children and specific animals in feng shui; and tales bordering on the shamanic, such as how to use (or not use) lions in feng shui. I look forward to many more books from Dr. Baolin Wu, including a book on Taoist medicine. Much gratitiude for offering Westerners the next step on the path of Taoist feng shui.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really gets down to business..., July 9, 2001

This review is from: Lighting the Eye of the Dragon: Inner Secrets of Taoist Feng Shui (Paperback)

This book on Feng Shui really gets into the nitty-gritty of working on qi problems for homes and land. Wu is one of the first in the recent spate of Feng Shui authors to really give some good details about working on your own internal energy in order to be able to sense and hopefully fix qi problems in your home. That is, this book is not just about rearranging some furniture or clearing some clutter, it is more about how to train yourself to detect qi and then be able to work out possible solutions for many types of problems.

Highly recommended; you just need to do some Qigong to start working on fixing your internal "clutter".

5.0 out of 5 stars Arcane information few have ever seen!, April 3, 2000

This review is from: Lighting the Eye of the Dragon: Inner Secrets of Taoist Feng Shui (Paperback)

With the popularity of Feng Shui now booming hundreds of titles on the subject are available. Unlike the majority of books written on this subject, Lighting the Eyes of the Dragon offers a deeper look at what is actually a science of time/ space. The contents of this book provides many simple yet powerful exercises that can be put to effect immediately.I found the information in this book intriguing with its fantastic accounts of Dr. Baolin Wu (the main author) who lived and trained as a monk in a Taoist monastery in Beijing China for twenty years. See for yourself... the opening story is a kicker!
