How to Use This Book

Before we jump into exploring the Fast Feng Shui Relationship Cycle and making changes to your home, you should be familiar with the basic tools of feng shui. These include the ba gua energy map, which determines what areas of your home are most affecting your love life, and the five feng shui elements—key influences that help you balance and correct the chi of your home to encourage love and romance.

For those who are new to feng shui (and for anyone who could use a refresher), an introduction to the ba gua and the five elements is included in the Appendices at the back of the book. It would be a good idea for you to read through that basic information before moving ahead to the next chapter, which provides a brief summary of the nine guiding principles taught in the first Fast Feng Shui book.

The rest of this book takes you step by step through the five stages of the Relationship Cycle. At each stage, we will explore how to work with the ba gua energy map and the five elements to make appropriate adjustments to your home, based on the objectives and tasks for that stage.

While you may jump ahead to read about the phase you are in right now, it's also a good idea to review the chapters on earlier stages of the Relationship Cycle, to make sure you don't overlook any feng shui tips that might be helpful for you.
