The two principles at the heart of the increasingly popular feng shui are 1) that our state of mind influences our environment and 2) that our environment affects our internal state. Therefore, according to feng shui, the choices that people make when selecting home furnishings scream, "This is who I am!" Look Before You Love, written by noted feng shui authority Nancilee Wydra, looks at these different choices and teaches readers how to not only better understand themselves and others but how to introduce positive change into their lives through the shape, color, objects, positions, and energetics of their furnishings and accessories.By helping readers determine, through actual tests and self-analysis techniques, which of feng shui's five elements they and others most closely resemble -- fire, earth, metal, water, or wood -- Look Before You Love opens the door to positive, future change, and the joy and satisfaction that can come only from truly knowing oneself and one's mate. Packed with case histories, examples, and fascinating observations, the book shows readers in a committed relationship how to design a living space that is inherently satisfying for each partner and shows those still seeking to find their soulmate how to look beneath the surface to determine their ultimate compatibility with another.
