A Personal Message
from Angi Ma Wong

A PERSONAL
MESSAGE

I TS BEEN THRILLING TO EXPERIENCE THE PHENOMENAL success of my bestselling book Feng Shui Dos & Taboos, both in its original and gift versions. Thank you for raving about it and recommending it to so many others, thus contributing to its extraordinary popularity. Once again, Im delighted to share my Chinese heritage with youin an easy-to-understand and user-friendly formatto help you achieve your goals.

Many of you have corresponded with me to describe the positive changes that feng shui has brought to your lives, thus validating the power of this wonderful knowledge. And my sincere appreciation goes to those of you who have committed yourselves (as I have) to maintaining the cultural integrity of feng shui by keeping it close and true to its Chinese roots. When you drink the water, remember its source is an old Chinese proverb that reminds us to practice feng shui with respect and reverence for the culture from which it originates, as well as with pure hearts and strong intentions.

IN MY TRAVELS AROUND THE GLOBEFROM ISTANBUL TO Illinois, from New Zealand to New Englandunequivocally, there are three universal things that people desire the most in their lives: love, good health, and wealth. Im delighted to focus on the first topic in this book. And since Ive been married to my husband, Norman, for 35 years, I feel very qualified to pen this book.

The best and most beautiful things in the world
cannot be seen or even touched.
They must be felt with the heart.

HELEN KELLER

WITHIN A FEW MINUTES OF OUR MEETING AT A CHINESE NEW Year celebration, I had the attractive banker in the expensive suit pegged as a type-A personalityintelligent, focused, aggressive a typical woman warrior.

Many men come in and out of my life, she confided during our consultation, but I quickly get bored with them. However, Im in my 30s, and I want to marry and settle down. Give me one quick tip on how I can achieve this.

As she spoke, she showed me around her bachelorette bedroom, and I noticed the location of the doorway.

Tell you what, I said. Ill give you two. Your bedroom door in your marriage area represents the men in your life coming in and out. Keep your bedroom door closed all the time, except when youre using it, and tie two red ribbons on the inside doorknob.

Two years later, I bumped into the banker again.

Ive been meaning to contact you all this time! she said. Within a month of doing what you suggested, I met the man I married, and we have a baby girl!

LOVE IS THE STUFF OF DREAMS, DRAMA, AND DREAD, AS WELL as agony and ecstasy. And yet who among us can live without it? Scientific research has shown that both plants and people perish without attention and care. The pages that follow will concentrate on providing tips on attracting many different kinds of relationships not just the romantic or passionate kinds. After all, we experience the love of our families long before that of friends, lovers, mates, or partners. Love blossoms from the seeds of harmony, kindness, communication, commitment, respect, affection, and growth.

Feng shui must be practiced in concert with your spiritual, emotional, physical, and intellectual development. Just like the legs on a table, all of these aspects of your well-being contribute to your being centered or grounded. And without your active involvement in creating your own luck, your efforts and intentions will be weakened and less successful. Romance means that you must take risks to become involved with another person so read on!

I dedicate this newest work to you, so that through feng shui, you can energize both your relationships and your life.

Best wishes,
Angi Ma Wong

F ENG SHUI BELONGS TO A HOLISTIC PHILOSOPHY THAT encompasses chi gong, tai chi, acupuncture, acupressure, martial arts, herbs, tonics, and the many practices associated with traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). All of these pursuits share the same three basic concepts: energy flow, balance and harmony, and the five elements.

First, there is whats known as chi in the Mandarin dialect or hey in the Cantonese dialect spoken in Southern China, Hong Kong, and Singapore (and by the old-timers of the worlds Chinatowns). Chi defines the cosmic energy or aura that emanates and surrounds all things, be they organic or inorganic. Chi is water, wind, the suns rays, a persons spirit, magnetic fields, and the multitude of energy forms that exist. Sometimes chi is visible and sometimes it isnt. We cannot see the suns rays or the wind, only the manifestations of their power. We cannot see the magnetism of the earths poles or the moons gravitational pull, but we see how the worlds climate and tides change.
