~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Featured Article: Is Feng Shui One of Those New Age Gimmicks? Recently a client called and said fellow church members raised
concerns about Feng Shui. Members thought it was a gimmick or witchcraft, and that anything other than prayer was evil. I went over to discuss it with my clients, and appreciated they brought it to my attention
(taking an empowering approach). What I suggested is that seeking help outside ourselves is why we've been given the gift of reason. Just as we pray for health while seeing a physician, or pray for strength while
advising with an attorney…so prayer supplements our actions to make a better life better. My intent is not to debate the distinction between religion and spirituality; both rely on faith. And while there are different
methods of Feng Shui, it is for the most part considered to be a spiritual (or metaphysical) practice. However, geomancy Feng Shui (also known as classic or traditional Feng Shui) dates back thousands of years, and is
considered the most scientific approach. It tickles me that it's thought of as New Age. While I agree that imaginary money or relationship corners subject credible Feng Shui practitioners to scrutiny, it's the nature
of discovery. Feng Shui is holistic, and a change in one corner (or room) affects all of them. To date there is still no conventionally-accepted Western scientific validation for Feng Shui theories and practices,
although some studies are underway. One study shows that babies migrate (in a crib) toward their natural sleeping direction, but are trained otherwise. If you have sleep problems, that's something to explore.
Physicians once believed that bleeding people extracted the illness from the body; and we're all thankful that education and practice (they do call a medical office a practice) prove otherwise. People are drawn to Feng
Shui or they aren't, and I wish more people practiced 'do onto others'...accept not judge! ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Is Feng Shui a religion or religious practice? A. Somehow Feng Shui has been connected with Daoism, Buddhism, and other religions.
The philosophy of Daoism and the science of Feng Shui developed about the same time and share common roots, but are not the same. While we're not able to exactly pinpoint Feng Shui's origins, it predates Daoism,
Buddhism, and Confucianism by several thousand years. Two (of the many) sciences used in Feng Shui are astronomy and astrology. These were used as early as 6000 BC to determine auspicious grave and dwelling sites. Also
keep in mind that there's a difference between the science of Feng Shui and cultural practices that have been handed down through time as part of tradition and folk lore via tales. A good example of this is the
use of statues and trinkets. Traditional Feng Shui only applies five elements (fire, earth, metal, water, or wood) as tools. Thank you for the question, Leesa. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Resource Recommendations The Rain Forest Site
One click will fund the preservation of 11.4 square feet of endangered rainforest. You don't pay a penny. Sponsors will pay for the services your click provides. Isn't that cool?
Originally, 6 million square miles of tropical rainforest existed worldwide. As a result of deforestation, only 2.6 million square miles remain today. The race is on to save our
rainforests and the incredible biodiversity they hold. Funding generated by The Rainforest Site goes to pay for rainforest acquisition and management, ensuring the protection of Earth's
biological diversity. The amount of land protected depends on the number of visitors to The Rainforest Site. So please click every day, and spread the word to family and friends!

We hired Diana several years ago for a feng shui analysis of our home. I was curious as to how her approach would differ from the other practitioner we used before her. The first
practitioner had us implement remedies in our health, love, and career areas but nothing changed. Diana analyzed our home's energy, and then made recommendations on her
findings. In all cases it was different than what we had already done. Her assessment of what was going on in our lives was accurate so we hired her to look at our
business. The assessment there didn't seem to apply so we lost interest in following through. Over the years, what she said could happen did. We closed the business, relationships
ended, and health issues progressed. Her approach really is a form of risk management. Name withheld by request ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder
and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed."
~Albert Einstein ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ This Month's Feature: Spiritual Path Astrology Report
What are your personal expressions of spirituality that can bring you a sense of immeasurable confidence and inner peace? Spiritual Path -- This report gives you a look "inside," (an
unbiased perspective on characteristics that define who you are on a spiritual level). More importantly it gives you a clear understanding of how you can best nurture and develop those
characteristics that enhance your progress toward spiritual maturity. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ This newsletter is based on classic Feng Shui principles which incorporate scientific
processes, including astronomy, electromagnetic currents, geology, geopathic stress, physics, and mathematics, with the arts of architecture, astrology, philosophy, interior
decorating, landscaping, and more. Classic Feng Shui goes well beyond decorating and where your front door is located. Balance depends on five elements – fire, earth, metal, water
and wood; when a structure was built; when you were born; magnetic influences; and other significant factors. Every building has a unique energy blueprint.
