Overview

Feng shui has been known in the West for the last 150 years but has mostly been regarded as a primitive superstition. During the modern period, successive regimes in China have suppressed its practice. However, in the last few decades, feng shui has become a global spiritual movement with professional associations, thousands of titles published on the subject, countless websites devoted to it and millions of users.

Synopsis

Examines the origins and practices of Chinese Feng Shui as well as its recent Western interpretations.
