Taoist Feng Shui
The Ancient Roots of the Chinese Art of Placement
Susan Levitt
Published by Destiny Books, 2000
The ancient Taoists developed feng shui from their understanding of the
subtle interplay of energies that make up the universe, and no true mastery
of feng shui is possible without a knowledge of Taoism. Taoist Feng Shui
provides step-by-step geuidelines for improving your home, business, garden,
property, and neighborhood using this ancient system of knowledge.
Bringing the same combination of unusual insights and hands-on advice
she brought to Taoist Astrology, Susan Levitt traces the history
of feng shui and shows how it is grounded in knowlegde of yin and yang and the five
Taoist elements of fire, earth, metal, water, and wood. Most important, she
shows that feng shui solutions must be customized to the individual, based
on one's personal Chinese astrology sign.
Once this firm background in Taoism is established, readers can clearly
understand the philosophy behind such concepts as the best colors for each
room of the home, room-by-room furniture placement, yin and yang balance,
correct lighting, outdoor landscaping, the function of hallways and entrances,
and the proper use of mirrors, crystals, fountains, and other feng shui tools.
With in-depth examples from the author's private feng shui practice,
Taoist Feng Shui can help all readers transform their personal
environments to create peace, harmony, health, wealth, and good fortune.
