The Feng Shui Companion: A User-Friendly Guide to the Ancient Art of Placement - Softcover

Describes the Chinese art of geomancy--placing items in the environment to create harmony, balance, and prosperity--and explains how to apply it to each room in the home and office

INTERIOR DESIGN / EASTERN PHILOSOPHY The Feng Shui Companion is a user-friendly handbook that employs the ancient Chinese art of geomancy to create balance, harmony, and prosperity in your personal environment. Feng shui, the Chinese words for wind and water, is a time-honored system of rules, concepts, and principles that explain how our lives are pragmatically and spiritually linked to our environment. As the author shows, based on his own experience, these principles can be implemented at little cost in both new and existing buildings, often with significant improvements to the physical and financial well-being of the people who live in them. Just a simple change in the placement of furniture or the addition of a plant to a room can have a noticeable impact on an individual's life. With expert summaries of the key concepts to this ancient science, architect George Birdsall provides clear instructions for creating a place in which you want to spend time rather than one in which you are constantly trying to escape because "something doesn't feel right." With The Feng Shui Companion, creating harmony within your environment becomes second nature. GEORGE BIRDSALL is a professional engineer and architect who provides consultations and gives seminars on feng shui. He lives in Australia.
