My book tip on the basics of Feng Shui
When we moved into our house a few years ago, I came across while browsing in the current facility journals for the first time on Feng Shui. This Chinese teaching will help to create harmonious living and habitats. In the following years I have gradually bought more books again on this issue and many others on loan from libraries (and of course read 
). When I tell this friend, I am often asked for a good book for getting into Feng Shui.
Criteria for a good Feng Shui beginners book:
- simple, understandable explanation of the basics of Feng Shui (Ying - Yan, flow of life energy, Chi, 5-element theory, ...)
- Many Examples (living situations, hosting)
- many color photos
- explanatory drawings
- practical, easily actionable tips
- cost-effective and contemporary decorating tips
- the more skeptical and scientifically oriented middle Europeans suitable for
- "Feng Shui tools," in Western culture
- Mediation of positive mood
All natural? Unfortunately not.
In many books do you get tips that fit the best will not be our Western culture, such as hanging a Pa-kua mirror outside above the entrance door, the hanging of two wrapped with a red ribbon bamboo rods, the placement of three with a red ribbon tied Chinese coins - preferably from the Ch `ien Lung Period (Yang side up!), or the sounding of bells from Bali priest.
Other books have charged me personally soogar, as you read constantly had the feeling that all claims of not being able to meet. Who has the money home to build on, the the lucky direction is aligned in exactly the windows and doors in place has exactly furniture with the right dimensions, optimal layouts ... (Quote from Lillian Too: The Basics Feng Shui: "Children are most favorable for a room in the eastern part of the house south-east. should be more precise, especially the eldest, a room in the eastern sector of the house have sons, daughters, however, and hierwiederum the elder, a room.")
S I have particularly good books of the author Günther Sator fallen. He was the first European Feng Shui consultant. He knows my opinion, very well, on the one hand the principles of Feng Shui explain and adapt them to other Western life and thereby make them workable. I also like to Sator, he repeated incessantly that it itself should have a good feeling about the changes in his neighborhood. My advice would be just revised, reissued bestseller by the author: Feng Shui. Living in harmony. (Paperback - December 14, 2009)
