Oahu events

Basic Feng Shui
Free Talk, Manoa Library
Wednesday, January 29, 6pm - 7pm

First, the differences in the two kinds of feng shui (Compass and Form School) are discussed, then chi energy is explained in a very logical way. He shows graphically how some furniture placement is strong and some is weak. Harsh energy is explained as well as how to retain beneficial energy in the home. The importance of the shape of the floor plan and the arrangement of the rooms is shown. Feng shui is not rocket science, and it does not require a leap of faith—Englebert has taught it to grammar school classes. He says, “Feng shui is about using the things you have in the home you have to move your life forward. I wouldn't practice it if I hadn't seen the results in my own life and repeatedly in the lives of my clients.” My books will be for sale at the talk, and Watermark Publishing will donate 30% of the sale price to the Friends of the Library. The library is at 2716 Woodlawn Drive, and their number is 988-0459.

Bedroom Feng Shui
Free Talk, Kailua Library

According to feng shui, the bedroom is the most important room and the bed is the most important object in the home. Englebert says, “The most frequent question I’m asked is where to put the bed. The short answer is to put it so you can easily see the door from the bed. But there are many other factors that influence the placement, such as the location of windows and bathrooms.” In his talk, Englebert will address the various details, such as color, texture, lighting, and artwork, that help a bedroom support sound sleep.
