📝 Description: Elemental Feng Shui: The Art of Orientation

Although Feng Shui is a relatively new concept in the West, when we break it down into Feng / Wind, our breath and Shui/ Water, our sustenance, it becomes very basic. In reality, Feng Shui is about balance and harmony on all levels. This book explores its ancient wisdom through the elements, and how they shape us and our world from the inside out. Charlyne's experience in the design world allows her a unique interpretation of its various applications. Whether used as a reference guide for design professions or a self help book to learn who we are, it teaches us on many levels how to create nourishing lives and environments.

Good addition to the shelf

My book club chose this last month. Some chapters demand a slow, careful read, and that's exactly the point. Happy enough with the purchase.

Worth every penny

A friend in my study group recommended this one. Every rereading turns up something I missed. Would buy from this store again.

I've read excerpts online before, but having the full text is different. A text you study rather than simply read. Some sections stopped me cold in the best way. It assumes more background than a beginner might have. Happy enough with the purchase.
