Designing a Happier Life - Feng Shui with Lurrae - A Guidebook - Paperback

by Lurrae Lupone (Author)

Are you interested in the ancient principles of Feng Shui, but have found the many books on the subject confusing and hard to implement? No wonder. There are many schools of thought on this environmental science. This book offers my simple method in a workbook format to begin to implement several Feng Shui principles using your home as the place to begin. Feng Shui principles offer a method to create a happier life, filled with more joy and balance as you gain clarity on, and move toward your dreams. When I became a Feng Shui consultant more than twenty years ago, my goal was to design consultations in a simple, logical, and methodical way. I developed the format and materials in this book and have used them ever since for home and business consultations. It is my style of "life coaching." I use home as a personal workshop for taking action toward one's life goals, and a safe launching pad to initiate the changes needed to achieve them. My book begins with a brief history and description of Feng Shui principles. My process begins with an emphasis on the individual, getting to you, your motivation, goals and dreams during what I term, "The Feng Shui Conversation." "The Feng Shui Consultation" follows with the actual viewing of property, home, and spaces where I share my observations and suggestions. Lined spaces are provided for the reader to record their intentions, and apply "cures and remedies" as their new placements in alignment with their goals, now made with greater clarity and intention. This simple format allows the client to embrace their environment from the macro to the micro point of view, going deeper within as they go deeper into their most personal spaces of the home. Home becomes the metaphor for the changes you wish to create in your life. My book follows the contemporary school of Feng Shui, also known as Tibetan Tantric Buddhism Black Sect Feng Shui proposed by Master Professor Lin Yun. He used a tool known as the Bagua template, also known as The Nine Life Aspirations - Health, Wealth, Fame, Relationships, Creative Expression, Helpful People and Travel, Career, and Spirituality. Lin Yun positioned this tool over the entrance of home and rooms, where the universal energy enters, also known as "the mouth of chi," rather than use directionality as the guide. Do you desire change in any of these Nine Life Aspirations and areas of your life? Change does not come easily. Try embracing Feng Shui principles to implement your desired life goals. Experience how a few Feng Shui principles may shift the energy flow in your life, when you change the energy flow in your home by changing the placement of a Picture, Bed, Desk, Stove or Living Room Sofa, with clear intention. Be prepared for remarkable results. "Designing a Happier Life, Feng Shui with Lurrae, a Guidebook" is a 2014 First Horizon Award FINALIST, an Eric Hoffer Award for excellence in independent publishing. It is my first book.
