The bottom line of Feng Shui
The bottom line
of Feng Shui
Time ago I decided to select and buy the
5 best Feng Shui books I was able to find, after several
months of research (I had already bought another 5).
Maybe the best books on the subject are those in the
realm of the so-called "traditional Feng Shui" (that is:
F.S. using a compass, your birth date, the date of
construction of your home, and some complex formulas to
arrive to conclusions about the effects of your home
over specific areas of your life). On the other side,
"Western Feng Shui", in general, ignores the compass and
takes the entry door of the home as the base for any
further analysis, and uses mirrors, wind chimes and
other cures to fix any existing problem. (Of course
these are crude descriptions, F.S. goes far beyond
this!!)
In this book, Lilian Too includes all her knlowledge
on Feng Shui, based in what her experience has shown to
be effective. I must stress this: based ONLY in what her
long experience in F.S. has proved to be EFFECTIVE. And
the result is a mixture of formulas and procedures from
Traditional Feng Shui (mostly) and some "cures" and
"boosters" that you will find also in "Western" F.S.".
Well, the point is that at the end, I found myself
using this book more and more than any other I have. The
reason? It simply works, and works in the deep and in
the simple. So I left the deep T.F.S. literature for
later, Western F.S. was absorbed in a couple of
evenings, and in the meantime I'm using, applying and
enjoying what this book shows, more than any other I've
found.
Now I have some mixed comments:
-Lilian has
written specific F.S. books (F.S. for love. F.S. for
success, F.S. for the home, for the garden, etc. etc.)
in those books she makes a complete analysis of every
subject, but you can find the bottom line in this book.
You might not need anything else (at least for a while).
People buying these specific books may sense that they
include almost the same information...
-The book has many illustrations and tables that make
reading easy.
-I was not only amazed, but SCARED when
I applied the "flying star formula" to several homes of
people I know, it described circumnstances you thought
were simply natural, but at the end seemed to be an
effect of the kind of plan and location of things
there.
-In some instances, it explains very easily
with pictures, principles from traditional F.S. that I
found hard to retain in memory when reading other
books

The Most Comprehensive Book I have ever come
across
I would like to thank Lillian Too for the
most fabulous book on Feng Shui that I have ever come
across. The author has taken great pain in explaining
the details, with illustrations and pictures, on all
pages. Each and every page of this book is worth its
weight in gold!
Keep up the good work!!

Encyclopedia of FengShui by Lillian Too
I read
a few other books before I found Lillian's Too's book.
This encyclopedia has helped me put everything together.
I got so confused to have read different FS, there's the
Indian FS, the Western FS, the Japanese FS, I also was
surfing the net and just read whatever was there. Thanks
to Lillian, it all then finally made sense why other FS
contradicted each other. It's also good to know that you
can also use FS principles/cures from other FS as above
in different rooms in your house. This is an excellent
excellent book, anyone starting in FS should not be
without.
