Feng Shui Course - Intentions

The course will be principally 'Western' style but I intend to include, at appropriate points, some teachings from traditional styles of Feng Shui and other associated subjects that I have found useful in the practise of Feng Shui. There will be two main elements:

1. The OAS web-site will have a Feng Shui section with basic material, suitable for beginners, and will also contain some material that I hope will be of interest to those who have studied some Feng Shui. Subjects covered will include:

I intend to add articles at some point on:

2. A closed teaching list, I intended to begin On the Chinese New Year, 16 February 1999. We will, initially, work through all the basics of Western ('Black Hat' or Intuitive style) Feng Shui leading to an understanding of the Ba Gua (which can be considered as an energy map of the home).
Maybe in the spring we will reach a point where we could have a second joining point for those who have already studied some Feng Shui. Here we can get involved in applying and using Feng Shui and discussing more specific issues, such as clutter, main doors and get to grips with things like 'mirrors' and 'crystals' which don't seem to be adequately covered (or, dare I say, understood) by contemporary writers.

Participation on the list will be by invitation and all OAS list members, and any interested friends are invited to apply. The 'closed' list is to enable me to ensure that no one gets left struggling with something they don't quite get (this would mean that I haven't put it across very well ). I see this as a process of sharing.

We will be taking a more spiritual view than most conventional courses, I am aware that some people doubt the value of Feng Shui when they are learning to see their outer world as an expression of their inner selves. I respect this and still feel that there is much that can be learned, we will discuss it on the Feng Shui list.

All participants will be expected to be comfortable with pendulum dowsing as we shall be doing several exercises using a pendulum. (Anyone who wishes to join the list but has not used a pendulum before can, perhaps, receive individual coaching on this subject). There will be no charge for participation, I expect to learn a lot in the process, and some of this may well end up in a book.

All material submitted by me for inclusion in the OAS Web-site, under the heading of 'Feng Shui', and all material presented by me on the Feng Shui list will be my responsibility and attributable to me. It will not necessarily represent the views of the OAS or any other individual. None of the views or other material placed on the Feng Shui list by any of its participants will be disclosed to any other person off the list without the express permission of the author of those views or material.

My intention is that the list will be informative, supportive and fun. This does not preclude participants from challenging points of view or presenting alternative views (where appropriate), in fact this is to be positively encouraged, I am looking forward to some lively debate!

These are my intentions for now. My intentions, and my view of the world, are constantly under review, so there may be changes. :)
