Several questions

[Guest Anonymous]

I have several questions:
I have seen all the free report samples, they are great. THANK YOU! My question is: You mentioned that the most effective method is the combination of the various reports. Is there a package if I were to order all of the reports. How much will it costs? I am really intrested in this. I will be moving this summer, would I better wait until then so we would have the building history and stuff?
Also, you had mentioned about Feng Shui marketing ploys but from time to time you talk about cures like six hollow metal windchimes, six coins etc.. Would you be so kind as to provide a list of products that are really related for Fen gShui cure purposes. I do not want to waste more money!
Another:
Some Feng Shui advider talks about `sealing drains' that is donw with some king of red powder and alcohol and symbolically seal all the drain outlets of the house so that good opportunities that come would not be missed. Is there such a thing. Please advise.
FINALLY,
Could you comment on the book: Sell your home using Feng Shui by Jean Purr. EDIT. ESSENTIALS HOW TO BOOKS.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

It is good that you bring up this crucial point.
Overall, not only must we be careful of the products but who recommend them.
For example, good or serious books or even sites on Feng Shui don't often sell products unless asked. This is clearly seen from the books written.
Serious authors or Feng Shui practitioners would normally give key issues of any concept or theory for understanding.
After you had read the topic or subject, you should be able to know:-
1. What is the aim of the concept or theory.
2. What are it's strengths and weaknesses.
Unfortunately, many book authors, do not simply do this but rather, fuel our need that such a such object is good for this or that without much personalisation.
Therefore, if one picks up a book riddled with e.g. enhancing `sectors' such as romance, career etc.. by buying material goods in my opinion do more harm to society than good.
If anyone is familiar with this forum, for many years since 2000, many questions posted in the forum are one liner questions like:-
My date of birth (d.o.b) is .... tell me about my wealth sector?
And even today, anyone posting their d.o.b even with other questions attached to it will normally be missed by me. For example, I would first open the mail. Then, maybe open it another time. When I see the d.o.b., I often skip it... entirely due to numerous other questions coming into the forum.
The object of the forum is to give free advice, catalyst or help to understand better areas that are not clear and not a consultation service.
A consultation service is different. Because, it involves analysing for someone and doing all the `homework'. This forum has always kept to this way of doing things.
As for objects used as cures or enhancers, even if 6 coins or 6 hollow rod are valid, but it cannot be used generally for all occasions. Or one item fits all the bill.
If you need a quick way to find out the purpose / aim and or strengths and weakness, you can do a SEARCH in this forum.
For example 6 coins, bamboo flute etc.. and many examples of the real life usage will be shown.

Some Feng Shui advider talks
about `sealing drains' that is
donw with some king of red
powder and alcohol and
symbolically seal all the
drain outlets of the house so
that good opportunities that
come would not be missed. Is
there such a thing. Please
advise.

In my opinion, this is not a standard practise. But, I really see no harm with this. (True or not.. frankly I am not too sure).

FINALLY,
Could you comment on the book:
Sell your home using Feng Shui
by Jean Purr. EDIT. ESSENTIALS
HOW TO BOOKS.

Where possible avoid books associated with Black Hat Tantric Buddhist Sect or Black Hat Sect as this is seen as a commercial ploy. Or any mention of Lin Yun or fixed template `Feng Shui'.
As mentioned earlier, books that have three elements:-
1. Purpose and aim
2. Strengths and weakness
of each concept or idea should be clearly stated.
The rationale why this should be the case, is to ensure, that finally, each individual can make up their own minds or understand better the concept.
But if the book talks `nonsense' i.e. providing cure after cure.. then there is really something amiss about the book.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
