Bad Feng Shui Books

Hi, I've got a feedback asking if I could come up with a list of crappy Feng Shui books so that you people out there don't have to waste your hard earned money on them. Well, it's a great idea but I would say that 80% of the books out there contains rubbish, so it would be a pretty difficult task to list them all down. However, fret not because there's a website that may give you the headstart needed to track down bad feng shui books.

By the way, getting your basics concepts like the Bagua, five elements, Yin-yang, the Ten Celestial Stems , the Terrestrial Branches, etc... will help you alot in learning the genuine Classical Feng Shui.

Meditating in the morning

I have always done my meditation at night before I sleep. But each time I have a deep meditation session, the adequate rest I get from it would keep me wide awake after that. It would take me a long time before I get drowsy enough to enter never never land. As a result, I can get rather drained out in the next morning. Another concern is the fact that I would be very tired after a hard day at the office. Meditation is the last thing to do since most of the time, I would simply doze off amid the process. In the end, I only manage to squeeze once or two times of meditation per week.

But recently, I tried waking up early in the morning to meditate and voila! It works... Here's the reason why it is better to meditate in the morning:

1. When you just wake up, your brain will still linger along the alpha level for awhile before switching to the beta mode, which is the frequency we experience when going about our daily activites. During meditation, we will enter the alpha state most of the time and for well-trained individuals, they may even enter the delta level. So meditating just after you wake up is easier since your brain is already in the alpha mode.

2. You wouldn't doze off so easily since you already had a night's rest. And for this reason, I now can meditate 5 times a week instead of the previous 1-2 times.

3. It charges you up, ready to meet the challenges ahead for the rest of the day.

4. You will not be late for work since you are already out of bed much earlier than usual.

Try it to feel the difference...

Quote of the Day

This one is from Master Joseph Yu:

"The greatest masters in the history of Feng Shui did not learn Feng Shui from a shifu(teacher) but from books. "

If one is to read up about the history of the ancient Feng Shui masters, one cannot agree more with him. Pretty interesting...
