Most people usually fall under 3 distinct categories whenever Feng Shui is concerned; the enthusiast or relatively adept DIY practitioner who wishes to deepen his or her knowledge of Feng Shui, the sceptic who is beginning to see some 'light at the end tunnel' and those who are downright confused by the many purported complexities brought about by the advent of Feng Shui, which invariably contradict the authentic tenets of Classical Feng Shui! And regardless of category, it all boils down to one simple question: What is, and is NOT, Feng Shui? Indeed, the answer to this question is the key that will subsequently unravel and in fact, debunk, many a myth and misconception shrouding this metaphysical science today. With this in mind, Joey returns with "More Stories & Lessons on Feng Shui"! In this book, Joey shares with readers the many essential tips on Feng Shui that anyone and everyone will find useful and practical to apply. He starts by demystifying the many misunderstandings and myths surrounding Classical Feng Shui, before moving on to share his viewpoint on topics as diverse as the role -- or lack thereof -- of symbols and numbers in Feng Shui, to addressing more profound matters such as Yang and Yin House Feng Shui. This book ends with the author narrating his experience while taking his students to Walk the Mountains of China, in honing the latter's Feng Shui skills. In diversifying the topics in this sequel to cater to the avid Chinese Metaphysics enthusiast's thirst of knowledge, Joey also touches on other Chinese Metaphysical subjects such as BaZi (destiny analysis), Mian Xiang (Face Reading) and Yi Jing (The Science of Probability). All in all, More Stories & Lessons on Feng Shui is a delightful compilation of Joey's articles, featured in national and international magazines and newspapers that have been purposely refined, edited and expanded upon to make for a light-hearted, interesting yet educational read. And with Feng Shui, BaZi, Mian Xiang and Yi Jing all thrown into one dish, there is something for everyone.
