About the author

From the authors website:

I studied macrobiotics in nineteen eighty in London and went to the USA to study with Michio Kushi, Aveline Kushi, Shizuko Yamamoto and Denny Waxman. Whilst there I ran the Macrobiotic Association of Philadelphia. Returning to London I became the director of London's Community Health Foundation, the leading macrobiotic centre in the UK, from 1986 to 1993. I co-authored ‘Against All Odds’ with Dr. Faulkner charting his macrobiotic recovery from Pancreatic cancer. I regularly hosted courses for Michio and Aveline Kushi and Shizuko Yamamoto.

Whilst at the Community Health Centre I ran the fist large feng shui courses in the UK with William Spear and Takashi Yoshikawa. I left the CHF in 1993 to persue a freelance career in feng shui, macrobiotics, face reading and shiatsu living in London and travelling thoughout the UK, Europe and USA.

Since 1993 I have worked as a macrobiotic consultant, macrobiotic teacher, feng shui teacher, feng shui consultant and shiatsu practitioner. I have written numerous books including ‘Practical Feng Shui’, ‘The Practical Art of Face Reading’, ‘The Chi Energy Workbook’, 'Modern Day Macrobiotics', 'The Feng Shui Bible' 'Astrology by Numbers' 'Practical Wabi Sabi' and ‘The Energy Booster Workout’. I am currently involved in the macrobiotic shop Luscious Organic in Kensington High Street with my wife Dragana.

I offer one to one training days in feng shui, macrobiotics and shiatsu. These are flexible and can be adapted to what ever you are looking for. I also provide consultations in feng shui, nine ki astrology and macrobiotics as well as shiatsu massage sessions in London. I also work as a feng shui expert, face reader and macrobiotic expert for the media.

My appraoch is friendly, open and positive. I take a non judgemental approach to my work with people and my emphasis is on empowering my clients in their lives rather than risk enslaving anyone to any doctrine.

I am a member of the Feng Shui Society of Great Britain, the Macrobiotic Association of Great Britain and the Shiatsu Society of Great Britain and abide by their proffessional ethics.

Dit is het tweede boek dat ik lees over feng shui, en waarschijnlijk het laatste. Wat een crap.

In het begin van dit boek verbindt de auteur feng shui met life coaching; kort door de bocht: je huis gebruiken om levensdoelen te bereiken. Voelt al geforceerd aan, en dan blijkt de auteur bij levensdoelen vooral te denken aan materieel en financieel succes en statusvermeerdering: een promotie krijgen en meer geld verdienen door je huis anders in te richten?? Concrete tip daarbij - echt waar - is dat gladde, schone lakens u zouden helpen om uw energie te vernieuwen terwijl u slaapt en positieve gedachten mee te nemen in uw slaap. Aaah, dus dat deed ik al die tijd verkeerd, te ruwe lakens...

Mevrouw Brown leert ons de kenmerken van de 8 windrichtingen en hoe die uitwerken op ons welbevinden in huis. Ze verbindt kleuren en materialen aan de windrichtingen en licht, vormen, water en zout met energiestromen in een ruimte. Quote: “Dit kommetje zeezout helpt de omgevende atmosfeer te stabiliseren en grondig te reinigen.” Heus... Klokken in huis zijn ook goed, vooral tikkende klokken: “Een klok met slingeruurwerk of pendule geeft een energiek ritme aan een kamer, waardoor bewoners hun eigen ritme kunnen vinden.”

En dan te bedenken dat nog niet zo lang geleden allerlei bladen aandacht besteedden aan deze nonsens.

Of all the feng shui books I have read, this is my least favorite. The title is misleading, and the information is rather sweeping in generalities. Approaches like this make feng shui seem confusing. I gave it 2 stars because I think there is always something to learn from an author's point-of-view; however, I would not recommend it to anyone.
