She is way into Feng Shui and said this book was the best one she'd seen in terms of finding out about feng shui and seeing if it would work for you.

I have enjoyed this book and also thought as another reader that it is more of a coffee table book one to pick up and put down over and over again. I have learned quite a bit from the book that I had no idea about and found it helpful. She is way into Feng Shui and said this book was the best one she'd seen in terms of finding out about feng shui and seeing if it would work for you. It's definitely interesting ready with many common sense ideas, but some off-the-wall (to me) ideas as well.

While Feng Shui is practiced as a business in Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur and Singapore, for construction of houses and offices, it has to be seen that this is only the pragmatic branch as it were of a larger body of science that really deals with all living and how human beings relate to the greater realms of plants, animals, water, rivers, mountains, and generally to the cosmos. I myself do not need the practical advise or cures described in Part II, since I practice intuitive Feng Shui since many years, and even before I knew about this science.

Reviews about The Practical Encyclopedia of Feng Shui (7):

This book has motivated me to get rid of the clutter in my house which helps get rid of the clutter in my brain...ha, ha
Nahelm
I’ve got to say it: The Introduction of this book, on pages 6-7 begins with its loose definition: “Feng Shui is an environmental science and its origins are simple. It is based on an interpretation of the natural world which enabled the Chinese to create efficient agricultural systems, and also the study of the movement of heavenly bodies in order to determine the passage of time. Over the centuries, the interpretation grew more complex and became removed from its original purpose….Fortunately the Chinese preserved the information in written form….In China, it underlies all aspects of life, from nutrition and medicine to exercise and the arts….”

“Is Feng Shui Chinese, or have we in the west adopted a term which means something else for us?”

What is feng shui? What about the translations of feng shui books from Chinese (with 4,000 year-old knowledge) into English: are these translations reliable? This book aims to answer this. (Read pages 8-9 to find out how this author specifically defines it.)

The author explains the principles and practice of living in harmony with one’s natural AND MAN-MADE ENVIRONMENT in modern-day living, and explains how, by making changes to your surroundings, you can foster good health, improve relationships and attract prosperity both at home and in business.

Modern-day living must negatively impact feng shui. Note that this 16-year-old book does not include all of the massive changes to life in China now. Like for the people living in the west, unfortunately, so many man-made things are part of daily life for the billions of people who live there.

When I first visited mainland China 33 years ago, China was truly one of the most amazing countries that I have ever visited or lived in, in terms its natural resources. Now, traditional architecture, lifestyles, food, clothing, etc. have been exchanged for man-made and unnatural ways of living, (including being tethered to the internet 24/7 and surrounded by unnatural radiation), mimicking how people in the west live. Can feng shui negate our GLOBAL man-made, synthetic ways of living to bring all of us on earth ‘health, wealth, and happiness’? (For only a few random examples of what the author says is western stress, see pages 66-67, ‘Electrostress’ and pages 76-77, ‘Clutter’.)

This heavy, 2002 hard-cover book by Barnes & Noble/ Anness has 256 semi-glossy pages, all of which have multiple color photos, hand drawings, tables, wheels or other graphics (furniture placements, room layouts, etc.).

The author is Gill Hale.

The publisher is Barnes & Noble (Anness), NYC.

The Contents has 3 Parts with 9 Chapters dispersed in them. Buy the book to read about feng shui in the Chapters and see the photos and graphics.
Part One: Feng Shui in the Home
(Chapters 1-3)
Part Two: Feng Shui in the Garden
(Chapters 4-6)
Part Three: The Feng Shui Office
(Chapters 7-9)

Next, is the following: Acknowledgements, Bibliography and Useful Addresses, and Index.

In sum, this is an excellent feng shui book for people to have in their home libraries. However, it won’t remain on a shelf for long because it is a wonderful coffee table book, to pick up, page through, and then utilize.

I have just started learning about Feng Shui. Before I was interested in it but thought it was much too complicated and dificult for someone who just wants to do it for fun. It does look hard at first when you take numbers and direction into consideration. But it's not, the basics of Feng Shui are very simple and with a book like this you will learn in no time!

Hale goes over the Bagua, the funky octagon shaped diagram you've probably seen before but didn't know what it was! Well it's a tool for Feng Shui and it's called a Bagua. Each side represents an element, color, and a part of your life like work, money, romance, etc. He breaks the Bagua down and makes it very easy to understand. Think of the room you want to "Feng Shui". Then imagine an invisible octagon on the floor of this room, each side representing something. How do you know which side goes where? Hale makes that easy.

You discover what your "Kua" number is by adding the numbers of the year of your birth until you reach a single digit. Then for men you take this number and deduct it from ten. For women you don't deduct but you add five instead. Once you have this number you can discover what directions are best for placing your bed, your desk, things like that. Hale provides a list and all you need is a compass. Your head should point in this direction and your desk should face this direction. Once you know which direction is best for you, you can start with that "side" of the Bagua. Then the other areas of the room, what place is what, fall into place! And you can decorate accordingly and he offers suggestions and explains symbolism. There are lots of tips and taboos in this book, like windchimes stimulate the good "Chi", no mirrors reflecting the bed, always have the door in sight, no open shelving facing the bed or desk.

This is turning out to be much easier than I thought and very fun. I highly recommend Hale's lovely book which is large and very illustrated so you can understand what he is talking about. He shows you how to feng shui a bedroom, entire house, garden, office, everything! Just a really pretty book with good ideas.

The Practical Encyclopedia of Feng Shui

Gill Hale's Practical Encyclopedia of Feng Shui is first a complete volume describing the environmental science of feng shui. Readers learn what it is and how to use it to experience quality life in every pursuit.

An introduction provides a brief summary on three major approaches to feng shui--the environmental approach, the compass approach and the intuitive approach, then goes into the principles of feng shui, the energy types, the elements, the animals and Chinese astrology. Space is also devoted to finding your magic number, the symbolic bagua, and finally feng shui in the modern world. If all this seems a little hard to inculcate, don't worry, in the subsequent chapters, putting the principles into practice is carefully explained for all aspects of the home, home office, garden and the working office. Business trips are touched on as well.

A comprehensive index puts you on track and colorful photos and diagrams show proper layouts.

Feng shui is such a vast study that no single book can capture all of the details, but this volume gives the essence and is a great addition to the feng shui library.

Recommended.
