5.0 out of 5 stars BTB Feng Shui for Enhancing Energy, August 28, 2005

By	Rebecca Johnson "SeasonedwithLove.com" (Washington State) - See all my reviews (TOP 10 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)    (COMMUNITY FORUM 04)

David Daniel Kennedy's Feng Shui Home Study Course is based on the BTB (Black Sect Tantric Buddhist) Feng Shui taught by Grandmaster Lin Yun Rinpoche. The Ba-Gua map used in this course is the Later Heaven Ba-Gua (octagonal arrangement of trigrams).

A compass is not used so it seems easier to understand. The Ba-Gua is the compass of the heart. I compared the Ba-Gua map to the one I had been using and it was the same one that had worked well in the past. Once you draw a floor plan, you can analyze your environment and decide on colors, placement of items and additional "cures/actions" for areas of concern to add a new vitality and Qi/Energy to your home.

Some of the Sessions Include:

Meditation for Qi Circulation
The Human side of Qi
Natural Healing Practice
Kitchen
Social Center
The Front Entry
Landscaping
Freeing Your Life from Clutter
Folklore Secrets

There are ways to enhance energy through seasonal rituals like sprinkling orange peels on the floor. The rituals draw on a mindful approach and with the power of intention they can become a powerful force leading you towards more success. Transcendental solutions are reinforced with body, speech and mind.

Areas of the house you can enhance include: Career, Knowledge Cultivation, Family, Wealth, Fame, Marriage, Children and Travel.

Each area has colors and items, like the Fame area has the color red and you could add more candles for the "fire" element. The phases of energy from wood to fire, earth, metal and then to water is taught in a way that is easy to understand.

This program emphasizes intention and there are segments that include practices to enhance your energy and gives methods for shaking off negative karma. The Heart Sutra Meditation with a heart-calming mudra (hand positions you may recognize from yoga) was incredibly interesting and I could feel energy moving in my body. After the meditation, I felt renewed and it was the same experience as when you work with Chakras and visualize colors. You will go into a beautiful peaceful state that renews and refreshes.

There are times when you will be using your voice to heal your body (chanting, mantras (sound vibrations) and other unique sounds) and this course goes into healing practices that make complete sense. There is also information on the colors to wear if you want more romance in your life and a variety of ways to solve real-life issues.

You may find yourself changing the positioning of your house numbers on the front of your house, putting more candles in your kitchen or moving your bed to the commanding position in the room.

David Daniel Kennedy encourages the reader to seek balance when removing clutter. While listening to this course, I reorganized my entire house and threw out at least nine bags of items I no longer needed. "Nine" seems to be a significant number in Feng Shui. This is great to listen to as you sort out your file cabinets. I feel like a weight has lifted.

The illustrated study guide provides diagrams and additional information. There are examples of how people changed their home and instantly realized a new sense of comfort and security.

One of the issues discussed in this course is how living in an apartment can affect your life. The people above us (who used to fight and were very noisy) finally moved out and the energy in my apartment below is now much calmer and we seem to be able to relax more.

David Daniel Kennedy's Home Study Course is comprehensive and healing. It goes beyond simple furniture placement and color design and enters the realm of spiritual considerations. The meditations can be adapted for any religious belief system. The information could help you Prevent a Divorce, Enhance a Career, Allow more Financial Security into your life, Create a more Harmonious Living Space or even Clear out Negative Energy left by former tenants. There is a "Home Finders" checklist if you are looking for a new home. Lot, house shapes and color schemes are discussed.

The first time I tried Feng Shui it was to increase income and I remember putting a fountain by the front door and then receiving a surprise check in the mail. I now see the connection between intention and the physical reality of my life.

A good way to imagine how this will change your life is to imagine a dark room and then to imagine a room filled with sunlight and yellow flowers and the scent of oranges. There are subtle ways to increase energy flow and more dramatic ways. You can decide on what you wish for and then you can create the means by which the results will manifest themselves. This is all about making you feel happy, safe and comfortable in your home.

After 24 audio sessions, Feng Shui will be much less mysterious and you will be able to apply the principles to your daily life. The book is wonderful to refer to after listening to the CDs, but you may find yourself listening to various CDs numerous times because the information is so interesting.
