Dear Jackie,
Thanks for taking the time to share with us your Feng Shui encounter. I am
very glad that you have benefited from information on this website
In the Far East, (as I am more familiar with this area) Feng Shui Masters
normally perform Feng Shui audits only. If a house is found to need certain
`fixes', he/she would then recommend the householder on what to purchase.
The reason for this is obvious, so that there is no conflict of interests
(in him/her wanting to do a Feng Shui audit and selling you Feng Shui
materials. So far, like you, personally I have reservations about this type
of Feng Shui audit. But I am aware, this is widely practised in the West so
not sure if this is the norm? Have any users here done a similiar Feng Shui
audit of this nature?
To share with you, for a FS audit, we normally do here is to first go to the
home or office to do a survey. Then there is a second trip to visit the
homeowner and provide him with detalied advice. Alternatively, if the
location is far away, the survey can be carried out and the final analysis
provided to the recipient through courier and a briefing would be conducted
afterwards.
The good news is that as more and more of Feng Shui is `opened' to the West,
I think many Western FS practioners are beginning to understand and apply
landscape Feng Shui especially on the Dragon (on the East) and Tiger (on the
right) etc... Plus more are beginning to rely less on `intuitive' form of
Feng Shui but rather traditional Feng Shui such as Pillars of Destiny and
Flying Star:)
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

>I've talked to a feng shui consultant over the phone to inquire about
performing an audit of my home. This person said she only charges US$300
for a bungalow house, but that the materials I may have to buy might run up
to about $300-400. She also said that I need to prepare meal for lunch (any
kind) so we can all eat and celebrate after she finishes with the audit. I
told her I'll call right back and give her my decision whether I want to go
through with it. I NEVER called back. With the amount of money I'm
shelling out for her fee and her materials, I don't believe I need to feed
her. What a rip-off! Im glad I found this great site about fengshui.
Thanks Cecil and Robert.

User's Comments After browsing many many feng shui sites, I came to one conclusion: your site is the most sensible, reasonable and helpful one of all. I've been to sites where they want to sell you just about anything and everything. The information they are willing to give is so trivial and one senses that the only thing they are interested in is to make money and sell you products that might and might not fit in with your decor or your culture, and of course doesn't serve the purpose of curing and or enhancing. Sorry for the long message, but I have a friend who spent a fortune buying all types of figurines to cure then to enhance and then eventually all she got was more figures on her credit card and no luck! I believe that what one should do is get your advise first because it makes so much sense and it is always sincere. I also believe that people should buy things that pleases their eye and provide a sense of beauty and balance. Again sorry for the long message and thank you for a wonderful site. Luna Ghobar, 10 March 2003 Students new to Feng Shui can learn more on their own, with the help of a few good books and this website, than many "practitioners" can teach them.
