Hi Cindy... I read the rest of this posting on your other webblog. Interesting! Feng Shui, of course, has always been a part of the Chinese culture. I personally think that Chinese people are spiritually awared beyond the Western concept of religions. Here in New York, for example, Chinese people may go to a Christian church, and still believe in Feng Shui, at the same time. You won't find the Feng Shui in the Bible, I suspect.

I am working with a couple of young Chinese who wants to buy a two-family home. It's challenging at best to work with them because, besides the price, location and usually considerations, they won't want a tree or hydrant in front of the house.. and god knows what other objections they may come up with in the name of Feng Shui. Oh well.... if they are spending close to $1M to invest in a property, I guess they do have every right to find their perfect buy. No complaints.

I don't know... I think there may be a few mentions of putting the rocks on west side for good fortunes. haha 

I have to say though, modern homes don't typically fit the feng shui elements. But then again, I wouldn't want a hydrant in front of my house either, what if there is a fire? Plus I won't be able to park in front of my house ;) I think you have a great attitude about it and your clients will love you for it. They know they are difficult and I am sure they feel bad too.

Cheers,

Hi Cindy,

I love the study of feng shui, but thought it went too far when I heard that there was a McDonald's that was feng shui'd. Too much!

My biggest challenge with feng shui and buyers has been what is seen from the front door. Once I found a great home but it had a view of a church (had it been only a wedding chapel, it would have been fine, but since funerals also happened at that church, it was a problem). Another great home was located on a road past a cemetery - apparently also a no-can-do.

Great post :)

Carole Provenzale's blog is my primary source for Feng Shui information. There is no doubt she is a true believer.

HI Cindy! Rosaio's right, I am a true believer. I've been doing this too long and have seen too many things change in a client's life to ever doubt it. I believe that people have too many misconceptions about Feng Shui and are confused by all the different methods of practice. They all seek to provide peace, harmony, health and abundance in all areas. That's a good thing anywhere! BTW, it was lovely speaking with you!
