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.
