Your Feng Shui Tool Kit: 
By Liz Brown

I love to talk about the Feng Shui "Tool Kit" we each have at our disposal. Choose one tool or choose them all, and rest assured there's plenty to choose from!

Our ever-increasing body of Feng Shui knowledge gives birth to a vast and dizzying array of cures, rituals and other healing processes to "change your surroundings and change your life." The tools are all laid out for you - and YOU get to choose!

It's a burgeoning Feng Shui field out there! Having just returned from the 4th International Feng Shui conference, a journey undertaken every other year, I can testify to the continually growing popularity of the ancient art of placement. So many teachers, so little time.

Looking back through my notebook of conference materials, there appears to be one overriding theme woven throughout the various workshops and speakers, and that is, the holistic nature of Feng Shui.

Whenever one approach to placement was offered, a complementary approach appeared to be offered in the same, or next, breath. Time and time again, a very integrated methodology was presented, both - rather ALL - sides of the coin being acclaimed.

No one depicts the holistic approach to Feng Shui more than Jami Lin: Feng Shui author, speaker, educator and consultant extraordinaire.

With a new integrated training program, and a dynamic approach that layers the Western intentional bagua upon the Eastern classical orientation, she incorporates many schools of Feng Shui thought in her teaching.

She even labels the "master discrepancies" in her new mini-course workbook series, pointing out each time differing approaches would net disparate actions. The inconsistencies are dealt with layer upon layer.

"Use logic!" Jami Lin entreats. "Have intelligence!" she commands.

Whether you understand the terminology or not, what Jami is sounding, rings true for us all. And not only in our approach to Feng Shui placement and literature, but ALL literature for that matter, and frankly, all MEDIA.

No matter what you're reading, hearing or seeing, draw from the many sources of wisdom in your own life and ask yourself, "Does this make sense?"

I ask clients to ponder that question in considering each "cure" to enact. Ask yourself the same as you cull through the latest Feng Shui tome, leaf through the morning paper, or lend an ear to Headline News.

"How does this fit in?" "Does this serve a greater good?" "Is this a tool for my tool kit?"

Many options, many paths, many tools from which to choose. The Truth that lies in each Feng Shui orientation must be acknowledged, for when taken as a whole, they can blend very nicely into one. As can all of us.

Feng Shui is a multi-layer experience; the more levels you embrace, the more powerfully effective the outcome:
* Recommend cures involving ALL the senses in every Feng Shui consultation.
* Have at least three reasons for each placement decision.
* Use mundane cures as your foundation, carrying transcendental cures to greater possibilities.
As goes Feng Shui, so goes life; make it a multi-layer experience as well, and expand your possibilities!

"Don't stop learning!" Jami Lin continues. "Raise your consciousness!"

I say, "Grab your tools and get movin'!" Success awaits!
