CONTENTS
FOREWORD
BY HIS HOLINESS PROFESSOR LIN YUN
ENVIRONMENTAL FENG SHUI
THE INFLUENTIAL ENERGY OF YOUR HOME
Feng shui is not just something that you think aboutit is something that you do. Feng shui is a lifestyle: a way of relating to yourself and your environment on a daily basis that can transform your life. For this reason, this book is centered on specific exercises and feng shui principles that are hands onand for your hands only. If you do not put any personal energy into these approaches, you wont find many benefits.
It is one thing to read a book about fishing, and it is a totally different experience to go out to the pond each morning and see what you can catch. This book is dedicated to the people who really want to change their financial lives and who are willing to do the work. May you grow and find the greatest of blessings: your own fulfillment.
This book would not have happened without the abundance of positive influences in my life: His Holiness Professor Lin Yun and my feng shui teachers and mentors Barry Gordon, Stephen Post, Edgar Sung, and Meihwa Lin; Sue Seel, my coach, without whom this book would never have reached its present form; Elaine Waldman, teacher and therapist, and the Community for the Life Force, who are my comfort, connection, and inspiration in New York.
Also, my gratitude goes to my parents, and to Rod, Karen, Katie and Kurt; to Lynn, who screams when she hears good news; Dr. Pat Fields; Gloria Lanza-Bajo; the extended Reichle family, and the good times at Bark Drive; Talane; Jeff, Christina, and family; Stuart Black and the Core Community; my BTB classmates; Judith Gruber; Steven Schragis; The Open Center; Jane Roberts and Robert Butts; John and Eva Pierrakos; Tad Crawford; Peter and Miranda Black, for the wonderful Abundance Meditation; Yossl, Louise, and everyone at the Prana Caf; Shiva; Pamela; Riquette; San; Leslie, the Zapper; the first Feng Shui and Money class; my students and clients, who have taken me to places I had not imagined; the many people who have given so generously to me, that are not listed here; and, the Higher Power that makes our hearts beat.
