The Complete Illustrated Guide to Feng Shui

In the mid-ninties, just before the MASSIVE Feng-Shui explosion carried away the idealistic dreamers in America, I found this book...and practiced its art well. Maybe I was just another dreamer, perhaps I was searching for anything to give me an edge in my life. Regardless, the help in this book made my average little box like apartment into a super comfortable and eye pleasing retreat from the preasures of life.In one of the corners of my house I placed a red lava lamp (red light) to enhance my money earning potential. I earned good money while it was on...one day the bulb burned out and I never replaced it. Soon, I had lost my job and the future of employment was extremely bleak. The day I replaced the bulb, I got a call out of the blue from an employer offering me a better job then previous with TWICE THE SALARY! Today I have that job and the red light glows strong. Who says this stuff does't work?Atleast my place looks nice ...

Lillian Too's books are a joy to read, not only because they are well written, but because the feng shui in it really works. I am a feng shui consultant and practitioner and compared to many of the other authors and books on the market, Lillian Too is the real thing. If you read the Complete Idiot's Guide for example, what basis is there for assigning a Western astrological onthly sign to each animal year in the Chinese zodiac. Does that mean every person has two Earthly Branch signs and two western astrology signs? Lillian Too has a skill of making even the most seemingly complicated theories and formulas easy for her reader. I recommend her highly, not just for her feng shui books but all her books. SHe has changed my life and I will always admire her.

I feel I must tell my story. I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer 2 years ago, and the doctors had lost hope in curing me - I am just 32. They gave me an ultimatum and told me I had a year left to live at the most. Desperate, I began to search for other means if Western medicine could not help me. I went to a bookstore to look for books on homeopathy and alternative medicine, but instead, bought Lillian's Complete Illlustrated Guide. After reading and applying her feng shui, I have just been pronounced free of cancer! I cannot believe it myself but am eternally grateful to Lillian and her generousity for sharing all her knowledge with the world. I also know she supports the building of the world's largest Maitreya Buddha statue and many monasteries in Nepal and India and has donated much of her income to these causes. I am going to help these causes myself and if any of you have benefitted as much from Lillian's feng shui, take a few minutes to visit her Lama's website... it will surely inspire you. www.lamazopa.com

I, as I am sure many others do as well, have the bad habit of reading many books at the same time, being unable to decide on, merely, one book. When I started reading this, I put all my other books away. Lilian Too describes the underlying philosophies of feng shui many others would overlook. She, also, includes many tips for enhancing the chi of inauspicious environments. I would have to recommend reading this book straight through to prevent the loss of invaluable information. Many of her tips are accompanied with their specific cause in many different chapters, although, the detailed index makes relocating information easy.

I bought this book bec I saw L. Too's seminar being advertized in the UK - and also heard that she was quite big in Malaysia and Australia. Anyway, since I was interested in Feng shui, I picked up her book at a book shop and was quite charmed by the pictures.After reading almost 3/4 of the book, I'm pleased to say that it's really a comprehensive guide. It doesn't cover the aspects of FS very deeply but it explains what FS is about, gives an outline about the different schools(quite well) and gives a few simple formulas which are easy to follow and understand.i'm only a beginner and I found her book quite easy to follow - not complicated. Other books I've seen are quite boring. I heard that L. TOo have more books that are very deep and advanced - and after reading this, I think I can move on to the next level.Just my 2 cents.
