"Feng Shui Love by Joni Davis and Lisa Hyatt review – a new twist on romantic comedy"
December 31, 2009
Are you looking for love in all the wrong places? Are the stars not aligned for health and prosperity? Perhaps applying feng shui will help. In Joni Davis and Lisa Hyatt’s novel Feng Shui Love, Lily and Brook are friends who are both suffering from failed relationships. Are their problems a result of an adulterous husband? Irreconcilable differences? Lily’s mother, Lauraine, cites the reason as bad energy trapped in their living spaces. Lauraine brings a feng shui expert to transform the “love corner” and the rest of the New York apartment into a peaceful and harmonious space.
The results were immediate. While skeptical at first, it became hard to ignore the instant improvement to their love lives and careers. Lily and Brook each wrote the ideal love on a paper, attached it to a balloon and then released to the heavens. But be careful what you wish for. Lily and Brook’s wishes bring new suitors, but will they find their true feng shui love? What is feng shui? From Wikipedia:
Feng shui is an ancient Chinese system of aesthetics believed to use the laws of both Heaven (astronomy) and Earth (geography) to help one improve life by receiving positive qi. The original designation for the discipline is Kan Yu (simplified Chinese: ??; traditional Chinese: ??; pinyin: k?nyú; literally: Tao of heaven and earth).
The term feng shui literally translates as "wind-water" in English.”
Feng shui is all about energy, and your home is composed of endless energy fields. Ideally, the home should undergo a thorough cleaning (clutter clearing), followed by purifying space clearing. Colors and arranging of items in the right space help contribute to the right energy.
Feng Shui Love is a humorous tail of finding ones true self and the perfect mate. The high school friends become school-girl giddy in their pursuits. Who would think straightening a corner of a room could change your life? Sit back and enjoy reading this fun book.
Word of caution: reading this may make you want to learn more about feng shui, which may induce a cleaning spree and rearranging of your living room. Are you making resolutions for better relationships, career and finances? Feng shui may become part of your action plan!
