Feng Shui Decorating for Enthusiasts

If you're already familiar with feng shui decorating, try these tips to take things even further!

Everyone who loves feng shui decorating starts somewhere, and you did too. But by now you've moved beyond the basics. You've mapped your home, you've read several books on the subject, and you're ready to become a more advanced feng shui decorator. What steps can you take to continue your study?

Fortunately, we live in an information era. Given that, it's not too hard to learn more about feng shui decorating -- with the help of these valuable resources.

Resources for feng shui decorating

1. The internet

If you're reading this blog, then you probably already recognize the internet as a great source of free information. There are all sorts of blogs and articles you can use to get free information on feng shui decorating, or if you're ready to take the next step, you can check out my ebook Feng Shui Decorating for a Fulfilled Life (now only $15.99!). But do beware: anyone can post anything on the internet and claim it's fact. Use discretion and your own common sense.

2. Your local library or bookstore

Good old fashioned books are still a great source of information. If you don't feel like shelling out the cash for them, try the library -- but be prepared to take notes or use a photocopier if you want to hold onto that information.

3. Local organizations and practitioners

Check into your local community and see if you have any feng shui decorating practitioners or enthusiasts willing to form a group with you. Learning is more fun if you can make it a team venture. You might even find a feng shui practitioner willing to meet with your group. Because practitioners or consultants are often kind of pricey, this is best if you can split the cost among several people.

These are the three main resources for learning more about feng shui decorating once you've moved beyond the basics. And of course, you can always email me your feng shui questions -- I'm more than happy to help. Keep having fun as you learn about feng shui decorating, and remember to keep your chi in balance.

Should I Use a Feng Shui Consultant?

Wondering about the secrets of feng shui? Maybe it's time for a feng shui consultant!

If you're thinking about a feng shui consultant, congratulations: you've taken the first step towards resolving your life and creating a more fulfilled energy within your home. Feng shui is an incredibly powerful tool and, as a feng shui consultant myself, I have often seen the incredible changes it brings about.

Why Use a Feng Shui Consultant?

There's a lot of feng shui you can handle on your own, but there are times when it's nice to get some outside help. Some of the benefits of a feng shui consultant include:

• Experience -- consultants have been doing this for a long time and understand what they're about
  
  
• An outside opinion -- sometimes, you're too close to a situation to see it properly. A feng shui consultant can often sense things about your home that you can't simply because you live there!
  
• Accuracy -- consultants have studied the craft and know what they're doing. You don't have to worry about a bad compass reading messing up your whole house.
  
  

On the Other Hand…

Of course, there are many reasons people choose not to use a feng shui consultant, too. I understand these, even though I do think (obviously) that the benefits often outweigh the costs. Some of those costs include:

• Actual cost -- feng shui consultants charge a hefty fee. Meanwhile, for a scant amount of money, you could purchase a book on the subject (such as my own!) and take on a do-it-yourself project.
  
• Lack of conviction -- if you're just starting out with feng shui, you might want to see it in action for yourself before you spend a bunch of money on one.
  
  
• Inconvenience -- depending on where you live, it may be difficult to find a feng shui consultant (or at least one who knows what they're talking about!)
  
  

Whatever you decide, remember: your consultant is only that, a consultant. The ultimate decisions about your house should rest with you, not a feng shui consultant or anybody else.
