A feng shui book specifically for teens. • Shows how to create balanced teen environments that promote personal development and positive self expression. • Tailors solutions to teen spaces: bedrooms, dormitories, desks, drawers, and lockers. • Shows how, when, and where to use music, incense, and posters. • Addresses real teen issues such as body image, tattoos and piercings, and cigarettes and other drugs. Teen Feng Shui demonstrates how the universal principles behind the design practice of feng shui can be applied to the contemporary environments of teenagers--from school lockers to dorm rooms--in order to maximize personal power, develop harmonious relationships, and define personal space. Noting that all books on feng shui are created for adults, Susan Levitt has provided a resource geared specifically toward the needs and realities of the teenage experience, addressing how young adults can design their living spaces to transform their lives. She describes how music, posters, and incense can influence space and includes before-and-after illustrations of feng shui "fixes." Teen Feng Shui also incorporates Chinese astrology, financial management and shopping tips for teens, insights on love and sex, personal stories, and case studies to provide a fun and comprehensive guide to this ancient art of placement.
