Want to feel better about your home or living space? Read Tisha's book, and you will be motivated to clean out the closets, organize drawers, paint a room, or rearrange furniture. After only reading a couple of chapters, I was inspired to start cleaning out closets. Several chapters later, I was wondering why in the world I was saving items in my attic that I hadn't seen or needed in years. It's amazing how much energy I had after getting rid of some of my old 'baggage'. Tisha's easy-to-read suggestions and tips gives you the motivation you need to make your home a more enjoyable place. It's a quick, easy read. I've even picked up a few extra copies for gifts!

I've always liked the idea of Feng Shui but never could grasp the concept until I read this book. It breaks Feng Shui down into simple steps that anyone can understand. I especially liked the part about decluttering - something that I didn't think I had a problem with until I went through my back closet. The gifts I've received but never used, old pictures that were no longer serving me, and the things that I didn't have the courage to throw away until now. With all the space I've cleared I'm ready for new things to enter my life. Thanks, Tisha for your clarity in leading me through this process!

I've read (or should I say "started" to read) several books on feng shui and found them too hard to understand. I wanted something practical that showed me exactly what to do. I don't care about Chinese history regarding feng shui and I don't want to read complicated maps and worry about superstition regarding where I put things. What I wanted was an easy read with an uncomplicated solution to remedy troublesome areas that I knew needed help. That's exactly what I got in 27 Things to Feng Shui Your Home.

I mean really easy things like changing the art on the walls, or tossing out old pictures, rearranging furniture, cleaning a closet, adding a mirror or crystal. Did you know that ringing a bell can clear a room of negative energy? Simple solutions like these will get you started and taking action to remove stagnant energy and get things flowing again.

This straightforward book not only helped me understand how the surrounding environment relates to the various aspects of life and what I could to do change my environment in order to improve my life, it gave me the much-needed incentive to take action. I even learned how to bring in the five elements and found the motivation needed to take on a large project. Beware! You may decide to clean out your entire basement without dreading the process. I cleaned and painted my laundry room and completely revamped my workspace two days after reading this book! What can I say? I was inspired.
Based on the Bagua map that helps you see the specific relationships between parts of your house, Tisha's interactive program teaches how to divide your living space into nine sections that reflects the Gua distribution. She doesn't leave you with a bunch of ideas and no way to implement them. After showing you what to do, she tells you how to do it in the chapter titled "A Plan to Implement the 27 Things."

I also like the size of this book. It fits in my purse and the print is large enough that I don't need bifocals to read it! Be sure to check out Tisha's feng shui app for iPhone in case you get inspired at work or while at a friend's house.

I loved this book and Tisha's writting style. I found that I have come back to the book over and over as I have worked through the steps. It seemed like I was just moving things from house to house without really looking at what I really loved and wanted in my home. Tisha has helped me to begin creating my home and to also have the flow, intention and energy be enriching and postive. Great Book!

The key word for this book is "accessible." If you are intrigued by feng shui but find it intimidating or mystical or simply think deploying it would be too expensive, this is an excellent starting point, and the author's voice is charming and direct. If you are already deep into feng shui, I'm sure you'll find that it oversimplifies the art, just as people who calculate their own astrological charts are offended by horoscopes. For the rest of us, however, who aren't likely ever to learn how to calculate magnetic north in order figure out where to put the fridge, this is a good introduction, capably and accessibly written.

"If you want to change your life, move 27 things in your home" is an ancient Chinese proverb which tells how to open your home and your life to efficiency, enjoyment and fulfillment.

I've read other Feng Shui books and have even tried to incorporate some of the techniques into my home and workspace, but this book spoke to ME more than any of the others. Author Tisha Morris has found a way to successfully combine the ancient art of spatial design known as Feng Shui with a contemporary lifestyle of clutter, excess and the routine of daily life in 2010. The reader is able to do more than just imagine the benefits of open spaces and energy flow, the reader has practical solutions for achieving maximum return.

Morris is a certified life coach, Feng Shui consultant, and energy healer. She explains the necessary actions and desired effects in plain talk and has taken the mystery out of why and how we can accomplish greater tranquility and satisfaction. One explanation that immediately gave me that "aha!" feeling was the significance of the number "27"; "In numerology the number 27 holds the energy of the number nine (2+7=9), which relates to completion. And with every completion awaits a new beginning..."

27 Things to Feng Shui Your Home should definitely be on your To-Be-Read list; as a matter of fact, I would make just one change to the helpful checklist at the back of the book - add Step One: "Read this book."

~Chelle Cordero, author [...]

In her book 27 Things to Feng Shui Your Home, author Tisha Morris seeks to share with the reader a modern and practical approach to using the ancient tradition of feng shui. From introduction to final page the author approaches her topic without the affectation or rhetoric commonly found in books on feng shui. She doesn't oversell the concepts but instead walks you through 27 Things with the assumption that having picked the book up you inherently know the principles behind feng shui are sound.

The author brings her education as an interior designer and her experience as a certified life coach into play and is able to clearly relate the art of feng shui to the reader. She offers solid advice on clearing clutter and with each subsequent chapter clear, practical advice on how to implement the feng shui principles to make improvements, to change the flow of energy and ultimately manifest desires. Tisha echoes centuries of mothers by telling us to clean out the closet and keep doorways clear but, more importantly, she explains why these actions are necessary in relation to how energy flows in our homes, lives and in order for energy shifts and healing to occur. This is a strong practical guide book. The author has a pleasant writing style, presents the material in an easy manner and speaks to our core issues in a non threatening way. 27 Things to Feng Shui Your Home includes a chapter about creating a vision board, information on the Bagua map, easy to follow advice on using feng shui "cures," and closes with a plan to implement the 27 Things.

For those readers unfamiliar with feng shui practices the author explains just enough about the concepts to allow a lay practitioner to receive solid reward for their time investment when applying the techniques, without planting confusion about the ins and outs of feng shui itself. For readers who have already been exposed to the art and mystery of feng shui, the author assists by leaving out confusing or contradictory information and the superstitions which often impede implementation of an action plan and the needed changes. She writes with confidence that following the feng shui principles and applying these techniques will have a powerful healing impact and her confidence is transferred to the reader.

After reviewing this book I am confident that I will be able to bring about some significant changes in my own life by following the 27 things that Tisha Morris recommends. I am also convinced that I could do so without spending a dime, simply using my current possessions in new ways or by letting go of things I no longer need. I recommend 27 Things to Feng Shui Your Home to anyone who wants to employ feng shui without becoming mired in research to do so. Tisha has done the home work for us and lays out the most important pieces in an easy to understand and follow format. This is one feng shui book you will pull off the shelf time and again.

27 Things to Feng Shui Your Home (Good Things to Know)

Having practiced the art of feng shui for many years, I was naturally inquisitive when I came across 27 Things To Feng Shui Your Home.

This ancient eastern art of energy transformation has become very popular in modern western society. Combining science and the mystical, feng shui is used to clear clutter and change the energy of a space. Author Tisha Morris, a certified life coach, energy healer, and feng shui consultant, has simplified this art form so anyone can use it to transform their home, office, work area, and rejuvenate their life.

Tisha briefly and simply describes how feng shui can be used to transmute energy in your living space. She takes you on a path throughout your home and explains ways to change the flow of energy by de-cluttering, cleaning, painting, rearranging furniture, ridding yourself of unused items, personalizing, and creating sacred space.

I was especially helped by the sixth thing Tisha mentioned: Get rid of "just-in-case" items. She made it clear that keeping items just in case you need them later is the same as saying you believe you will have a negative situation in which you will need to use the items. It's about trust, but it's also about the Law of Attraction. Tisha explains the destructive power of having a negative intention. Holding on to unneeded items just in case you may need them is like saying to the universe, "Send me a situation in which I can use this item."

27 Things To Feng Shui Your Home is a handy, well-designed book you will want to keep around for years. Practicing this art is a fun and creative way to energize your life and home. You won't know how much though until you try it. As a result of being inspired by this book, I'm planning to design a sacred space designated for meditation and other spiritual practices. I've already rearranged the furniture in the living room.

Don't worry that you will feel overwhelmed when you begin the process of decluttering. The author gives an easy four-step plan to take action in phases. The basics are to remove clutter, change things, clean the space, and then add feng shui elements. Easy enough!

Tisha states, "Your home should feel good to you and be a place where you love to be. As you love your home, you will love yourself." I agree. Any time I have made positive changes, cleared the clutter, or shifted energy in my home, I have found that it uplifts my spirit and mind, giving me the ability to think more clearly and work more effectively.

Unfortunately this book can not give anyone any idea because without doing an exact compass reading (15 degree exact) based on a sitting and facing of a home or office location, knowing the exact year of construction and looking at the individual floor plan along with the birthdates of the inhabitants it is not possible to give any advice. This is now called New Age Feng Shui which was invented in the 1980th - creating wishful thinking and nothing more but a hit and miss situation. Books like this create more harm than good. It is like you do your own acupuncture - as much as you can not go out - buy a book and learn about acupuncture - and then believe that you are able to do it yourself. Same with Feng Shui. Whether it is for Feng Shui at work or for your home - it includes some major mathematical calculations.
