Feng Shui Guide Online

Wow! A short while ago I asked for the one most important question you have about Feng Shui and how to use it to attract better health, cashflow and good luck… and I just can’t believe the response!

The emails came FLOODING into my inbox - mainly because there was a problem with the comments box and people weren’t able to leave comments for the first couple of hours [sorry about that!] - and I am quite surprised at how many folks took the time to write back to me.

    (And by the way, if you haven’t written yet, I would still love to hear from you!)

Quite frankly, as you’ll see below, some were quite desperate, looking for this to be a magic bullet.  Some questions were really profound, some comments were deeply sceptical and scathing in criticism.

Many people see it as a logical way to organise your space and thus organise your thoughts.  Others believe in attraction and the spiritual side of Feng Shui.  A few see it as deluded superstition.

Which side are you on?  Am I teaching the ancient science that created the compass and works on actual natural laws, or am I a delusional tree-hugger who bought his house and runs his business using principles that are absolute garbage?  Comments please…

 I’ll tell you one thing that’s really clear - a lot of my best clients love the promise of Feng Shui - that by rearranging your external world then your internal world improves too - but many of you are incredibly frustrated because you can’t get a straight answer and keep getting conflicting advice. 

You would think with all the millions of Feng Shui books and web sites out there, it would be a breeze to get directions you can trust.  But it just seems like most so called “Feng Shui advisers” want to over-charge you for some generic advice and no two of them agree! Let me give you an example:

Q: Where is the best location for the kitchen in a home?

“…the southwest is the most inauspicious location for the kitchen” - Steven Skinner, The Living Earth Manual of Feng Shui

“One of the most favourable sites would be the southwest” - Evelyn Lip, Feng Shui For Business

What I am working on now is compiling all those emails and comments you sent in - I thought it would be interesting to come up with a list of the top things that folks want to know about Feng Shui.  

Once I get this data put together, I am going to put it into a nice report and distribute it for free. If you want to get the report when it’s ready, just type in your name and email in the “Special Offers” box down there on the right of this page. 

 I am also starting a Feng Shui course by email for people who might be interested in my take on Feng Shui, having worked with real people in the real world since 1990 - people like Virgin Cinemas, Texstyle World, Marriott Hotels…

 If you’d like to receive a short crash course on how to immediately apply Feng Shui to YOUR home or office in quick, practical baby steps written in simple language, then use the same “Special Offers” box to express interest. 

Wishing you every success,

Jonathan

 P.S. I just want to thank you again for all your great questions - some tougher than others - and if you haven’t sent yours yet, just use the comments box to type in the one most burning question you want answered about Feng Shui… do it now.

Feng Shui enthusiasts come in all different sizes and shapes.  Different personalities and cultural backgrounds are incorporated into the Feng Shui schools. The good thing is that you do not have to limit yourself to a certain school to be able to apply Feng Shui. However, it may do you a lot of good if you are able to find the groups of people who have the same interests as yours as far as Feng Shui is concerned.

If you are just after the loose application of Feng Shui, this is easy and the Intuitive School is were I’d start,  for Feng Shui is really all a matter of channeling the right energy to make the environment work to your benefit.

The best thing about Feng Shui is that it attracts a huge variety of people. You don’t even have to look too far and you will easily find a person who is into Feng Shui. And with the many challenges facing the world today, it is understandable that we seek help in various places, including Feng Shui aid. But different persons breed different motivations for applying Feng Shui, and here are some of the profiles of people who engage in Feng Shui.

The Business Tycoon

The business tycoon is completely focused in profits. He or she will be most likely to ponder positioning and orientation of his office building in relation to the directions of prosperity. He may even alter the numbers of his landline and address, if at all possible, to tailor to the lucky numbers for a given season. But more often than not, the business tycoon won’t have time to think all about these things and will be most likely to hire a Feng Shui expert to do it all under his approval.

Big-time business people who like Feng Shui can afford the most expensive form of Feng Shui help there is and actually use the profit to leverage in more profits with proper design and good Feng Shui.

The Pad-Owning Bachelor and Bachelorette

The bachelor’s priorities include adjusting to the adult world, getting financial stability and having fun socially. Typically, they are the ones who buy Feng Shui charms, remove threes of things in the bedroom to avoid unfaithfulness in relationships. Fun-loving and modern, they may find that they are heavy on electronic or metal objects and may opt to balance it with a small water fountain or soft fluffy furnishings.

The Housewife

The housewife is the one who pours through magazines and seeks out Feng Shui tips online and offline. She may also derive the techniques from other fellow housewives and friends within the neighborhood. Her common focus on Feng Shui would most likely be oriented on home and family matters. The housewife who likes Feng Shui is most likely into interior designing of home whether on an amateur or a professional level.

The Striving Employee

The striving employee who likes Feng Shui aims to make a miniature balance of earth elements on his desk. This may involve him or her putting a small mirror for water, a jacket to ward off the excessive metal in the corporate workplace and many others. The striving employee may also invite relaxation and peace of mind by means of a plant ornament or any lovely fixture that doubles as a Feng Shui charm and a form of esthetic display.
