The Feng Shui Matrix: Another Way to Inherit the Earth

The Feng Shui Matrix: Another Way to Inherit the Earth, Kartar Diamond, Four Pillars Publishing, 2006

For the uninitiated, feng shui is an ancient oriental system of balancing a person's surroundings to achieve a happier and healthier life. It is no different than eating a balanced diet to achieve better physical health.

The first thing a person should do is to find out what direction their house faces. Don't assume that it faces directly east, for example, or directly south; buy a good compass and find out for sure. It matters. The book lists the best, and worst, colors to paint the exterior of your house based on the direction it faces. Depending on the year a person was born, everyone has a personal wealth direction. If at all possible, sleep with your head pointing in that direction. Also, if possible, enter a house, or a room from that direction.

If personal creativity is more important, then using the year of birth according to the Chinese Zodiac, find your creativity direction, and sleep in that direction, or enter a house from that direction. Every Zodiac sign also has a draining direction, that will make it harder to save money, for example; avoid this direction if possible.

A vase of water and fresh flowers placed in the proper part of the house (again based on your Zodiac sign) does attract more opportunities for romance. The book also includes short descriptions of 72 different house types, based on the direction it faces and the time it was built. Finally, if an important part of your house happens to be in the bathroom or garage, don't despair; there are ways to get around it.

Ready for a change in your life? Perhaps the problem is in your surroundings. This book is easy to read, and starts with the basics. If doing all the things in this book at the same time is not possible, then start with just one.
