Your home should be a place where you feel the most grounded and also gather strength to face life’s challenges. But there may be areas within your home where you feel disconnected, confused or overwhelmed rather than focused and calm. The places in which we live, work and play all express an energy that affects us in large and small ways. The ancient Chinese tool of feng shui can help us find ways to ensure that the energy is positive and free-flowing, creating a greater sense of well-being.

THE FENG SHUI DECK brings this practice into a unique and contemporary format, adorned with beautiful Chinese calligraphy. Designed for novices as well as those familiar with the concepts of feng shui, the deck is a handy guide that will welcome the ancient lessons of this venerable practice into your home to ensure that the energy is positive and flowing.

Feng shui is a branch of Taoism, a Chinese system of knowledge, and the deck is based on the nine principles of Taoism:

Tao – the interconnection of all things
Yin/Yang – the dual nature of all things
Chi – the energetic expression of all things
Four Directions – north, south, east, west
I Ching – a system for understanding the predictable movements of energy
Synchronicity – meaningful coincidences
Ba Gua – a sacred map of space
Wholeness – the center of the ba gua

The 50 cards feature important concepts related to the nine principles listed above. On each, you’ll find:

• A key term referring to a principle and an icon symbolizing it
• An explanation and how it applies to an issue commonly found in the home
• Four practical applications
• An I Ching hexagram plus an interpretive summary of the hexagram; on the reverse, is a Chinese character that corresponds to the hexagram
• A final question to ponder

The cards are presented in the order of the nine principles; however, feel free to select cards randomly, allowing synchronicity to guide you. When you use these principles to align your environment and yourself to the movements of nature, you will experience greater peace, well-being, and harmony. You will feel truly “at home.”
