Feng Shui Modern

Product Information

For too long, women have had to keep quiet about the menopause - its onset, its symptoms, its treatments - and what it means for us. Feng Shui always seemed kind of mystical-ish but Cliff made it approachable and digestible in his videos and I knew I had to give his book a try.

They should be in the living room too, otherwise it will feel like you’re among your friends and it won’t be the relaxing vibe you need as you fall asleep. The start of a movement: to get everyone talking about the menopause in every home, GP surgery and workspace. Living rooms are where families gather, visitors are welcomed and there’s the most life and energy, so go to town with plants, art and mirrors (making sure they reflect lovely things, not doorways – you don’t want to be startled by your own reflection on entering).If they think the maximalist look is fashionable, they ‘busy up’ their rooms with lots of decorations. In Feng Shui Modern, TikTok influencer Cliff Tan answers these questions and more, explaining the ancient practice of feng shui and how it can be translated to modern homes. I found this author on TikTok and his videos were so helpful in explaining why some rooms feel cramped/uncomfortable - this book is a great reference!

I remember I used to obsess about the “baguas” of my home and think I needed to paint certain rooms certain colors to improve my life. Cliff does a great job of summarizing Feng Shui for the modern person and now I feel much less pressure to make my home “perfect”, but instead, to optimize Chi and how I feel when I walk in.Traditionally there is less focus on these ‘service’ rooms in feng shui, but there is plenty you can do. So never try to work in your bed because the goal in feng shui is to match spaces to your natural tendencies. Categorise everything, don’t allow a miscellaneous box, toiletries need to be in the bathroom, clothes in the bedroom and so on.

With 18 million copies sold worldwide, THE SHACK is an international bestseller that explores life's toughest questions through the gripping story of one man's struggle to find answers to his suffering. I changed the layout in my own east-facing kitchen to open plan, and took out the eye-level cabinets for a more spacious feel.

I have to rate this book 5 stars because partway through reading it I put it down to redo a room in my home - incredibly helpful for anyone, like me, who is not good at knowing how or why to place furniture/objects in a room. The main door you use – the ‘mouth’ of your house – isn’t necessarily the property’s original one, so if you use your utility or side door more, that’s your main door which should be celebrated and respected. He’s putting smiles on faces with his short, super-helpful videos of practical tips on making homes work better, and he’s bringing the ancient principles of feng shui to a whole new generation.

it was fun reading about feng shui in English and seeing the author try to explain 「太極生兩儀，兩儀生四象，四象生八卦。」 i like that this book took many modern adaptions so it's not just "put a toad at your entrance for good fortune". Every year we publish a selection of books and pamphlets that address the key issues facing activists and trade unionists.If it’s a side door backing onto an alley, decorate it with plants either side, or create a path signifying the entrance. Whether he’s throwing out cushions with designs he finds offensive or declaring the light from venetian blinds ‘too aggressive’, Cliff’s Tigger-like energy and exuberance has earned the architect over 2 million followers on TikTok. Sure, it’ll take up less floor space, but if you place it horizontally, the air space is freer, the room will feel more open, and you can display beautiful things on top. His story of turning a cramped trapezoidal apartment into a livable space using the basic principles of Feng Shui is honestly the charm of his channel and what got me hooked on it. Her book is based on years of personal experience and training, supporting the bereaved through a structure and pace that offers practical and psychological support on a day by day basis.
