Product Description

Amazon.com Review
Balance the yin and yang in your home, arrange your furniture to maximize comfort and harmony within your surroundings, and organize your office to bring wealth and opportunity to your door. These are topics covered by Feng Shui, an informational CD-ROM intended to help users design their homes with the flow of positive energy in mind.

Feng Shui is essentially an interactive textbook, explaining the basic concepts underlying the age-old Chinese art of managing the movement of chi--the life force--within the home. It is a do-it-yourself manual for anyone interested in Feng Shui. Offering tips as involved as repainting your rooms in positive colors, or as simple as putting a plant in a corner that will otherwise disrupt chi's movement, Feng Shui gives a good general overview of its topic. It also answers frequently asked questions, including how to choose a Feng Shui consultant.

The information in this CD-ROM is intriguing and well presented, with photographs, illustrations, and live readings of all the textual passages. However, Feng Shui never moves beyond the level of simple data delivery. There are no interactive exercises, and no means for creating energy-savvy floor plans of your home. Users hoping to evaluate the flow of chi through their houses will have to do this manually, using the data provided. There is no way in this package to use the computer to shortcut the process--it might as well be a book.

Even if its bells and whistles are rudimentary, though, the core content of Feng Shui offers significant interest to anyone looking to create appealing and comfortable environments for their family. It also raises issues often ignored by Western decorators, by bringing the whole environment to a user's attention. As long as your high-tech expectations aren't engaged, these features will make exploring Feng Shui a thought-provoking and thoroughly worthwhile experience. --Alyx Dellamonica

1.0 out of 5 stars A BIG DISAPPOINTMENT! Please save your money!, October 29, 2001

By	Julie Rose (Pacifica, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This program provides a very general overview of some very basic concepts of Feng Shui, but most would be better served by buying a book, any book on Feng Shui. It does not have any tools or ability to personalize based on your space. It may be useful to someone who has never heard of Feng Shui and doesn't read because there is an audio which reads aloud all of the very basic concepts it describes. There are many magazine aritcles and internet sites that offer more information than this program.

An excellent book for beginners interested in Feng Shui is "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Feng Shui" by Elizabeth Moran and Val Biktashev. For less than half the cost of this program, you will get much more useful and relevant information--information that would have been useful to those who created this program.

1.0 out of 5 stars extremely disappointing cd, May 10, 2002

By	Rita Gallion (Jonesboro, AR USA) - See all my reviews

I had been doing some basic study of feng shui and found this CD. Much to my disappointment, it did not provide any interactive sections. All the cd provides is a person reading to you the wording that is displayed on your computer. It only tells very basic information (word for word) that can be found on the website that the cd refers to. I considered the purchase a complete waste of money.

5.0 out of 5 stars This software is compelling and easy-to-use, January 8, 2002

By A Customer

Whether you have practiced Feng Shui or not, this software offers a wealth of knowlegde designed to help you understand it's function in daily life.

Each section is narrated to help you better learn the important factors in maintaining good Feng Shui throughout your home and office.

An example of what I've learned is that in order for the proper flow of Chi, water shouldn't be near fire. Translated this means that having your stove right next to your refrigerator is bad Feng Shui. Interesting stuff, huh?

Feng Shui is handy for those who are thinking about remodeling their home because of the helpful layout hints and do's and don'ts of arranging furniture.

This software is a great way to begin your Feng Shui practice, or simply polish up on the knowledge you already have. You will find the content satisfying and intriguing.
