The application of Feng Shui depends on the following:-

1. Ranking and priorities.

For example doors facing each other is `secondary importance.' Same goes for a rotating fan.

2. If one wants to apply Feng Shui, it is not a `direct' application.

3. It also does not involve only one concept or theory. But a multitude of theories and concept such as:

3.1 Shapes and Form.

3.2 Compass Schools - Eight house and Flying Star.

3.3 Pillars of Destiny (element and its strength).

4. Many people believe that `Fast Food' Feng Shui is the way to go. They go buy a few books on Feng Shui.

Not only do they buy the books, they buy all the ideas that go with it i.e. start spending money to buy all the enhancers.

Some of us even go further: Since I am buying a wind chime, I might as well buy a dozen. The list goes on.

5. Here, one is `inducted' to `Vicious cycle of never ending Fast Food Feng Shui and any taboos that goes along with it.

6. If the saying here is, hey, there are just too many theories or concepts for me to begin. Tell me all.

7. My suggestion at this juncture is that if one has the time, and do not want to spent money at all, would have to be patient and go thru the various methods and techqiues on Feng Shui, slowly or at your paste.

8. But for those who are kind of impatient, and say, don't expect me to swallow all this and yet, find a solution for myself.

For those, under Para 8, I suggest you get some one to do an audit for you. (End of story). After that, go on with you present life.

The road to success is never easy. No matter how, one must work hard or read up "intelligently" on them. Some can read for years without digesting anything.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
