Feng Shui

Someone told me that Westerners are too impatient to learn the finer art of Feng Shui, so only simple forms were to be taught here. I disagree.

Since my first introduction to Feng Shui in 1987, I have had the privilege of discovering the finest teacher in the world, Master Joseph Yu http://www.astro-fengshui.com . He has no qualms about teaching the truest form of Feng Shui to Westerners. There is no “dumbing down” in his attitude toward students. Since 1997 I have been teaching Feng Shui in public classes and private classes in the United States and Sweden. What I have learned from my students is that they are not satisfied with one-size-fits-all solutions. In order to begin to whet their appetite for Feng Shui knowledge, they have caused me to study harder and faster than I ever thought I would or could. This has been the reason for my capacity to teach Feng Shui intensive workshops. The knowledge came from Master Yu, the impetus came from my students.The most effective system I have discovered is the Xuan Kong School. We call it the “Time-Space School.” The Eight House system is also very good; however, I appreciate this system most when I cannot determine the facing of a structure. Although I teach both systems, there is nothing like learning from a master. So, if you get the opportunity, don�t hesitate to attend Master Yu�s classes. I send my students to Master Yu and continue my own studies with him. Feng Shui is a “hot item” these days. Unfortunately, the industry has too many half-baked practitioners marketing themselves as “professionals” or “masters.” This trend, of course, is typical of anything “new” to us. So, how do you tell a true professional from an amateur? One way is to listen for questions they will ask you. A professional will want to know, at least, the following: � What is your birth date? � What are the birth dates of others living in the home with you? � What is the compass degree of the facing of your home or office? (If you don�t know, the practitioner should take this reading when s/he arrives.) � When was the structure built? � What do you want your home or office to provide? When the Feng Shui professional arrives to do the audit you may notice the following actions: � Taking a compass reading. � Looking at the outside environment and noting water views, mountain views, other structures surrounding the home or office. � Locating the center of the home or office. Feng Shui is an honorable and effective system for promoting balance and harmony in your work and home environment. An ethical practitioner will work with you until the balance is achieved and harmony is experienced to the degree it can be through Feng Shui. We must remember that although moving the sofa won�t necessarily be the thing to change an attitude, that movement can impact the environment in such a way that you can come to terms with an attitude.
