It is important to distinguish Classical Feng Shui from New Age Feng Shui. Feng Shui is a body of ancient Chinese knowledge that aims to create harmony between the environment, buildings, people and time. Classical Feng Shui is based on the theories and principles of ancient texts. The term ‘classical’ does not mean old fashioned. Classical Feng Shui refers to the use of classical theories, which have proven themselves with time; the importance is to adapt the theories to modern situations. Classical Feng Shui works on the philosophy of finding good Qi, tapping into that good Qi (by direction, location and formula) and circulate that good Qi. When a property and home has good Qi and is able to receive it the occupants of the property feel better, sleep better, have more energy and attract more opportunities into their lives hence; you are better able to achieve your goals and live a good life. Classical Feng Shui applications include Flying Stars (Fei Xing, Xuan Kong), Eight Mansions (Ba Zhai), Three Harmony (San He), Three Cycles (San Yuan), 64 Hexagrams (Xuan Kong Da Gua), Four Pillars (BaZi). New Age Feng Shui describes categories of Feng Shui that do not utilize a compass or directions and rely on intention and symbolism and the placement of objects. Authentic Feng Shui is a complex and complicated subject that can be practiced on a simple or sophisticated level. 4 www.fengshuiconsulting.info Marlyna@fengshuiconsulting.info 604 339 8878 East West Academy Professional Mastery Training Program Core theories of Classical Feng Shui involve an understanding of Qi and Landforms, the concepts of Yin and Yang, the Ba Gua, and the Five Elements.

Being convinced of the power of the 4-­‐pillar, she speedily organized phenomenal workshops on my behalf from 2001 to 2006 in Vancouver and Victoria. The good work of our workshop on the 4-­‐pillar spread to Saskatoon in 2002. She also traveled to New Zealand and Australia in 2005 to spread the gospel. The seed she planted is now blooming in New Zealand! Her relentless growth from our workshops, her own practice and frequent classes had finally landed her a top notch in the field. She was crowned the Queen of the 4-­‐Pillar among other global feng shui students in a study tour to China in 2006. As a result, she was invited to lecture/class workshops over a few foreign locations. Above all, her great work in Western Canada has put the 4-­‐Pillar in a position as “The Only Astrology System That Makes Sense”. She has provided a healthy yang force to make the 4-­‐pillar grow and grow! I am proud and confident of the proficiency in 4-­‐pillar that Marlyna has achieved. In fact, I am not aware of any one in the western world has reached her profession level on the field. Officially, she is my best student; occasionally we exchange knowledge for mutual growth. Lily Chung PhD, Joey Yap: Mastery Academy of Chinese Metaphysics Feng Shui – Do You See What I See?
A foreword by Joey Yap
It's fair to say that the integrity of Feng Shui has been put through its paces recently. In the late
nineties, there was a sudden 'gold rush' of sorts as new age or ‘pop’ Feng Shui took off. Suddenly, it
seemed that a Feng Shui makeover consisted of little more than placing specific objects, trinkets and
ornaments in the home. This watered down, erroneous version of Feng Shui soon died a death,
however, as Classical Feng Shui became widely studied once again. In true, Classical Feng Shui, time
and the environment are what really matter. I can understand why ‘pop’ Feng Shui was popular for a
period of time – it is, after all, a lot easier to sell someone an ornamental toad and promise Feng Shui
benefits than it is to teach them about formulas, charts and sophisticated interpretation methods!
None the less, Classical Feng Shui delivers genuine results and people are waking up to this fact. I
have made it my mission to continue educating people about Classical Feng Shui and the very real
benefits of studying it.
Marlyna, like so many others, has long been fascinated by Feng Shui and had already been taught
by many well respected masters before she made the decision to join my class. I immediately
noticed her passion for the art. Picking up Classical Feng Shui can be a daunting process for anyone
but she tackled it head on; her determination was all the more impressive to me because western
students often struggle to simply get their head around the technical terms in Chinese. Very quickly,
12 www.fengshuiconsulting.info Marlyna@fengshuiconsulting.info 604 339 8878 East West Academy Professional Mastery Training Program she came to display a deep understanding of the subject during her time in class. I normally only
observe this level of understanding in students who had spent many, many years at study. To put it
simply, she was a natural, and it was clear that she could share her take on the subject for the benefit
of others.
When Marlyna asked me to write a foreword to her book I was delighted because I knew her book
was of an excellent standard; both technically accurate and well researched and written. I am
proud to endorse this book and hope it will allow even more people to enhance their knowledge of
the art and science of Classical Feng Shui.
Let's speak about Feng Shui itself. There are two components in Feng Shui: forms and formulas.
Marlyna addresses urban Form Feng Shui in this comprehensive book.
When we speak about formulas, we refer to techniques such as San Yuan, Xuan Kong, 8 Mansions
and San He where often, sophisticated calculations are required to determine outcomes.
Forms are also known as ‘Luan Tou Feng Shui’ in Classical Feng Shui which translates loosely into
‘Faces of the Mountain '. When we talk about forms we refer to environmental features such as
mountains and rivers which determine the interaction of Qi and the stars. Good forms can enhance
the quality of a positive star and smooth out the negative energies while bad forms, conversely, can
aggravate negative stars and nullify the good energies. To correctly evaluate the Feng Shui of a
property, you must have the ability to see a kind of invisible life force that influences the environment.
Marlyna can do this and this is the truly difficult part of Classical Feng Shui.
In this exciting title, Marlyna will open your eyes to urban forms so that you can eventually come to
determine their Feng Shui value in an instant. You will be able to see what she sees.
Understandably, most people think that formulas are the hard part of Feng Shui at first. The truth is,
learning formulas is easy. Assessing Forms is the tricky part. A seasoned Feng Shui practitioner can
assess forms at a glance. They have what might be described as an “eye” for Feng Shui in much the
same way that a photographer has an eye for a great photo opportunity. It takes time and practice
to develop this intuitive ability to assess the Feng Shui of a given location based on its form. The good
news is that there are things you can do to build up your appreciation of Form Feng Shui and reading
this book is one of them.
This book is an essential addition to the collection of any Feng Shui enthusiast, regardless of their level
of expertise. If you're new to the subject then this has been written in a way that doesn't exclude
beginners. If you're a novice or even if you fancy yourself as a pro, this book still deserves a place on
your bookshelf because each time you read it you will learn more. Pick it up and read it cover to
cover. Read it again. And again. Each time you invest your time in this book I guarantee you will pick
up something new and take a step closer to becoming a Feng Shui master yourself, honing and
sharpening your ability to assess Feng Shui more accurately in a quicker time.
13 www.fengshuiconsulting.info Marlyna@fengshuiconsulting.info 604 339 8878 East West Academy Professional Mastery Training Program Finally, I'd like to congratulate Marlyna Los for her completion of this excellent new book and wish
you, the reader, the best of luck in your Feng Shui endeavors.
Warm regards,
