Forums IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ Beyond Human Feng Shui Retreat in February

We sent an email yesterday to our customers announcing our next Retreat coming up in February. Here is what it said:

===

Bill had hardly been sick in 70 some years
until we moved into our new offices. All of a
sudden health problems plagued him, big and
small. He blamed them on aging, but...

When Marie Diamond did a Feng Shui reading on
our offices this September, she paused at
Bill's office. She asked for his birthdate and
took a compass reading of his office. She
said, "That spiky plant causes health
problems. Get rid of it. Now."

You see, Feng Shui addresses the flow (or mis-
flow) of energy in your space. In Bill's case,
energy was shooting off the spiky plant behind
his chair like spears--right into him. His
body could only take so much intrusion.

That plant was not in his former office.

It makes me wonder how many people are sick
simply because of bad Feng Shui.

Especially after hearing about what Marie
Diamond said to Paul Scheele's wife, Libby.
Marie said the energy shifted in February 2004
and that the position of their bed has caused
health problems for Libby. Sure enough,
earlier in the year Libby had to have surgery.
They moved the bed immediately.

Do you have problems created by things in your
environment? Career problems? Relationship
problems? Family problems? How would you know?
How would you fix it?

That's why we've made arrangements for you to
study directly with a Feng Shui master.

Energy flow can affect any area of your life,
including your wealth...

Marie Diamond uncovered what should have been
a major drain on my personal finances after
reviewing my floor plan. She said that
according to the Feng Shui of my home and my
personal Feng Shui, my financial situation
should be suffering.

I listened skeptically, because my investments
and personal net worth have increased
significantly since I moved into the home.

She said I should activate the financial
energy in a particular area of my home by
storing valuable items in a closet--the very
closet that hid a vault filled with mo~ney and
other valuables. I had already activated the
energy!

Feng Shui is about understanding and
manipulating the energy of your space to
unclog problems and bring abundance and
happiness to your life.

I'll have more intriguing stories for you, but
first...

* * * *
What you must know
for yourself
* * * *

"Your fortune and happiness in life comes from
three very different sources," says Marie.

1/3 comes from the destiny with which you came
into this life. Some call it karma, and this
is the hardest to change. This involves your
religious beliefs (whatever belief you have)
and your spiritual practice (going to church,
meditating, studying with spiritual leaders,
and even meditative practices such as
practicing Qigong).

1/3 comes from our own human experience and
day-to-day living. It is easiest to influence
this aspect of your life when using our
personal learning courses such as
PhotoReading, Natural Brilliance, and
Abundance for Life.

1/3 comes from Feng Shui--the influence of the
environment. And this, by far, is the simplest
to change, which is why Paul and I are so
excited. Marie says, "If you open the flow of
energy in your personal space, you will get
better results in everything you attempt."

* * * *
The Best Part
* * * *

Marie is very clear. People who are still
stuck after doing years of spiritual exercises
and years of working on their inner programs
definitely have a problem on the Feng Shui
level.

She says, "Many changes on this level can be
made in minutes, and you can feel the results
after 9 minutes, 9 hours, 9 days, or 9 weeks."

And, if you've already strengthened your
energy through a practice of Qigong or if you
have already changed your behavior through our
courses, Feng Shui will create very fast
results.

* * * *
Marie Diamond
can see the energy
and why that is
super important
* * * *

Marie's background is fascinating--like how
she began studying with spiritual masters when
she was only seven years old and with Feng
Shui grand masters in her teens. But what
intrigues Paul and me the most is that she can
literally see the energy flow.

Most other Feng Shui experts are advanced
students who repeat what their masters have
told them. The expert might look at a spiky
plant and say it can be harmful to your
health, because that is what their master told
them or that is what they read in a book.

Marie looks at the spiky plant and sees the
energy shooting from the leaves.

She did not simply learn from books or other
masters. She knows how the energy works,
because she sees it. This ability makes what
she says infinitely more credible and
valuable.

We've always wanted to do a Feng Shui program,
and we've always consulted Chunyi Lin, whose
insight into energy work we trust.

When we've told Chunyi of other Feng Shui
experts that we've met, he has always said
"No, unless he or she is a master who can see
the energy, you do not want him."

I remember talking to him about one Feng Shui
expert who has authored books and tapes. He
said, "She cannot see the energy. She is not
good enough for you."

Marie Diamond does.

* * * *
Who is Marie?
* * * *

Marie Diamond works with many corporate
clients. A European-based safety management
company contracts with her to enhance plant
safety for one of the world's largest oil
companies. She will tell you amazing stories
of how her work with multiple levels of Feng
Shui significantly reduced on-the-job
accidents for them. She will tell you how she
predicted an explosion that happened right on
cue in a major facility. No one was injured
because of her advanced warning.

How is this possible?

By using multiple levels of Feng Shui she
determined that "fire energy" was building in
a particular part of a facility and she
predicted when it would peak. When it did,
there was an explosion.

Similarly, she predicted a catastrophe for the
estate of a tycoon of rock and roll and
country music, which allowed them to avert
damage. They had had a fire in the building
that housed the late star's memorabilia when
they called her in. In studying the Feng Shui
charts, she determined that fire energy would
continue to build. She instructed them to how
to cool the "hotspots" and told them
specifically when the fire energy would peak.
One minute before the specified time, a
computer exploded, and they were prepared.

While you will not get to this high level of
proficiency at the Retreat, you will glimpse
into the remarkable depth of Feng Shui. You'll
get a basic and intermediate understanding of
Feng Shui to make a significant difference in
your life and the lives of friends. Yes, with
what you learn, you will be able to do Feng
Shui on the homes and workplaces of your
friends with startling accuracy.

Marie's celebrity clients include members of
the Rolling Stones and many very well-known
music and movie artists and directors. Her
expertise is in high demand in Europe and the
USA.

"Chicken Soup for the Soul" co-author, Jack
Canfield, introduced me to her. She accepted
our invitation to Minnesota and performed Feng
Shui readings on my home, Paul's home, and our
office.

It is your turn. You need to meet Marie
Diamond. You'll see why her students
affectionately call her "Mother Marie." Her
nurturing style has a keen way of empowering
your good luck.

* * * *
Can't I just get it
all from books?
* * * *

Nope. Not a chance.

First of all, you can't fit Marie Diamond in a
book. She will be at the Retreat to personally
teach and assist you.

No matter how many times you look at a Feng
Shui book, it doesn't address your personal
situation. At the Retreat your specific
questions will be answered.

You'll actually work on your own home and
workplace. If you bring pictures of your home
and workplace--inside and out--you will
diagnose problems and come up with fixes on
the spot, at the Retreat.

Plus, you'll learn and explore with other
like-minded Retreaters. These are the type of
people you love to spend time with.

We're even going to bring you into homes in
the Twin Cities to explore Feng Shui first
hand in real life.

And, Paul Scheele will guide you through
meditations and integration sessions to make
sure you learn everything as thoroughly and
completely as possible. We want you to benefit
for a lifetime.

Paul and I believe we've uncovered a diamond,
a Feng Shui master who will soon be one of the
most respected movers in Feng Shui. Just for
you.

Clear your schedule and do what it takes to
get here for February 12 through the 18th. It
will be a one-of-a-kind event.

Make a $280 refundable deposit today and
save $400 on your tuition. I'll write you

I've known Marie for just a short period, but
I have so many stories. For example, the Feng
Shui on Paul's front door predicted personal
problems for his number two son. The fix she
recommended took only minutes to install, but
could have saved his family and his son many
challenges had it been done years ago.

I met one of Marie's clients. As soon as she
walked into their house she said, "You and
your spouse sleep in separate bedrooms." The
marital problems started when they moved into
their new home. They took Marie's
recommendation, and the marriage healed almost
immediately.

I don't know how you might be suffering in
your life, how you may be blocked, or what may
be coming your way. I just know that you will
find tremendous benefit in spending a week
with us at our February Retreat.

That said, Feng Shui is so much more than
solving problems. It truly is about how to
keep the energy flowing to enjoy good fortune,
good luck, and abundance in all parts of your
life. Some people think luck involves chance.
But you and I know better.

See you in February.

Warmly,

"When Marie first looked into the living room,
she calmly said, 'All of your finances and
romances are going up in smoke with a
fireplace in this part of your home.' I had
been considering plastering over and closing
this fireplace for months because it didn't
feel right to use it, so we rarely did. With
the incentive she provided, I closed the
fireplace immediately. Within a month of
changing this one thing, my flame came into my
life. We married a few months later! " Moriyah

You're going to love this:

When Marie Diamond did the Feng Shui reading
on our office and homes she said:

"Your business is strong and you have many
loyal and satisfied customers, but you don't
have as much fame as you should."

She changed the position of Paul Scheele's
desk and asked me to make a minor change in
my home.

Within days the American Music Awards
(November 14 on ABC television) asked if they
could award each of the winners a personal
copy of the brand new "Genius Mind: Awakening
Your Brilliance" DVD. Also for the presenters
such as Clay Aiken, Pamela Anderson, Lance
Armstrong, Jim Belushi, William Shatner,
Sheryl Crow, and on and on.

Then earlier this week Genius Mind appeared on
"Entertainment Tonight," the most watched
entertainment television show in America.

Join us for the Diamond Feng Shui Retreat this
February. Imagine what might happen in your
life when you make changes in how energy flows
in your home and workplace. Registration

Write me with any questions, but give me a few
days to respond just in case a lot of others
write, too.

Looking forward to this.

Jeff

Here are the answers I promised. I think
you'll find some of them quite interesting.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
What will I experience at the Retreat?
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

You will be guided through 24 Diamond Feng
Shui sessions to be a queen or king in your
life, home, and business. You'll go through
four sessions each day. You'll get a taste of
them below.

* * * *
Day 1
* * * *

You'll get more 1) Power, 2) Empowerment ,
3) Wisdom, and 4) Compassion

The first Feng Shui session, Power, deals
with when you don't feel successful enough,
when you feel attacked by colleagues, when you
are a victim of gossip, when you don't get
the promotion, and when your talents aren't
recognized.

You'll learn exactly what you need to do in
your home and workplace to strengthen Power
and reduce--if not eliminate--the problems.
The same for the other three sessions of the
day: Empowerment, Wisdom, and Compassion.

* * * *
Day 2
* * * *

You'll get more 5) Love, 6) Tenderness,
7) Purity, and 8)Transparency

The first session of Day 2 is Love for when
you lack friends, feel lonely, do not have a
strong romantic relationship, when you have
problems expressing your love, and when you
need to improve relationships within your family.

Are you getting an idea of bad where Feng Shui
might be causing problems in your life? Or,
how it might be keeping your life from being
as effortless as it might be? Marie says that
most fixes will take just minutes to implement.

* * * *
Day 3
* * * *

You'll get more 9) Health, 10) Honesty,
11) Balance, and 12) Passion

The session for Health is for when you've
tried everything to become more healthy but
the results are temporary, when everyone in
your house has health problems, when you are
never really relaxed in bed, when you have
nightmares, when you anger quickly, and when
you feel overwhelmed in life.

Do your remember in a previous email how the
"spiky plant" created bad Feng Shui for Bill's
health? During this session you will review
your home and workplace to make sure the
energy flows best for optimal health and well-
being, to make sure you don't have any spiky
plants potentially creating problems for you.

* * * *
Day 4
* * * *

You'll get more 13) Order, 14) Release,
15) Joy, and16) Celebration

The Joy session is to counter feeling sad, if
you don't know how to have a good time, when
people don't come to your parties, when you
feel unlucky, and so on.

* * * *
Day 5
* * * *

You'll get more 17) Clarity, 18) Focus,
19) Abundance, and 20) Magnificence

Focus for when you have a hard time staying
focused on your goals, when you cannot
concentrate and are easily distracted.

The Abundance session, as you might guess,
deals with financial problems, when you have a
challenge attracting investors or customers,
when you aren't paid adequately for the goods
or services you render, when you don't receive
promotions.

And if things are going well financially, you
might discover what you can do to increase
your abundance.

* * * *
Day 6
* * * *

You'll get more 21) Peace, 22) Harmony,
23) Collaboration, and 24) Transformation/Faith

Collaboration for when you lack teamwork in
your office, when you experience a lack of
family time, and when the weight of the whole
world is on you and others don't see what you do.

What a powerful week!

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Will I be able to see the energy as
Marie Diamond can?
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

We cannot promise that. Being able to see
energy is a gift that happens spontaneously
for some people. For others it happens after
considerable practice of a discipline such as
Spring Forest Qigong.

But that's why we are bringing Marie to you.
You can benefit from her gift. This is a rare
opportunity for you to study with a real master.

To support your intuitive growth and
development of your "third eye," you can
participate in optional early morning Qigong
practice and other meditations.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Will I be able to get all of my
questions answered?
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Yes. Paul, Marie, and I will work to make sure
that you are supported and receive answers to
all of your questions.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
If I'm planning to move next year, why would I
want to do Feng Shui on my current house?
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

What you learn at this Retreat will help you
find a house that has Feng Shui ideal for you
and your family.

One of the reasons my house has such good Feng
Shui is that I consulted Chunyi Lin before I
finalized my floor plans. He could tell how
energy would flow through my house. He
strongly recommended, for example, shifting
the garage four feet so that energy from the
garage would flow into my house differently.

After spending a week with Marie at our
Retreat, you will be more than prepared to
find a house that is perfect for you. As a
matter of fact, you will be able to walk into
any house and immediately determine whether
the house should be considered--or rejected.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
After I come to the Retreat and do Feng Shui
on my home and office, how often will I have
to do updates?
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Good question. Just as the earth revolves
around the sun, energy moves in cycles. The
biggest and most dramatic moves in 20-year cycles.

The most recent 20-year cycle changed in
February 2004. The Retreat will focus on the
fixes and cures you should make now that will
last 20 years.

You may remember how Marie knew that Libby
Scheele had health problems in the previous
eight months? The energy for Libby in her
bedroom was just fine until it shifted in
February 2004. The new energy flow was
injurious to Libby's health.

There are other cycles that you will learn
about, but the one with the strongest
influence is the 20-year cycle.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
What do I have to do to prepare?
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

In late December you will receive a Feng Shui
kit from us. It will include a compass,
information on your personal Feng Shui based
on questions you answer in the Enrollment
Agreement, and specific instructions. You'll
be told how to take compass readings, draw a
floor plan, and take photos of your space.

You'll also be asked to hunt up additional
information such as the date when the first
occupants moved into your home, when you moved
in, and dates of any major remodeling.

We'll do a special TeleSeminar for enrollees
in early January to help get you started. You
will be able to invite a guest onto the call.

If you cannot get all of the information or if
you don't have time, that is just fine. But
you will receive so much more value from the
Retreat when you follow the instructions in
the kit.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Do I need specific knowledge in order to
benefit from the Retreat?
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

No. We are making it as easy as possible for
you. If you collect the information mentioned
above, you will receive much more benefit.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
What books do you recommend?
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Marie Diamond asks that you do not read Feng
Shui books until after the Retreat. You will
learn why at the Retreat.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
How does Feng Shui work?
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Last week the Northern Lights could be seen
through 48 of the states in America. These are
caused when the sun's energy field interacts
with the earth's energy field. There is no
denying that energy flows all around us.

Feng Shui is how you can work with the energy
in your environment to positively affect your
body--and your life.

I don't pretend to understand how it works.
Some of it is quite weird. How can moving Paul
Scheele's desk result in our Genius Mind DVD
being part of the American Music Awards I'll
probably never know. But if a butterfly
flapping its wings in South America can affect
weather here in Minnesota, then I must be a
student of energy. I must study Feng Shui.

I hope you are as curious as I, and I hope you
will join me and a legion of other explorers
at our Retreat.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
I can't afford the tuition
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

We can spread out the payments for a small
number of clients to make the Retreat easier
on your budget. Again, first come, first
serve. We are confident that the value you
receive will far out pace the cost.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Will the Retreat be offered in
different cities?
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

No. Only in Minnesota. Right now almost a
quarter of the enrollees are coming from
outside of the US. Check for reasonable
airfares. The dollar is low now, which makes
the Retreat a bargain for many of our friends
from around the world.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
But it is cold in Minnesota
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

That is a myth. February weather is generally
in the 70s.

All right. Just joking. Minnesota is a winter
wonderland, and February can be chilly
outside. But inside it is toasty. The hotel
has a huge furnace (and a back-up!) and all of
the cars and buses have super-duper heaters.
You'll be just fine.

If you have any more questions, please get
back to me. I want to do whatever I can to
help you get here for the Diamond Feng Shui
Retreat--it will be an event you'll remember
for a lifetime.

Remember, make a $280 deposit now and you will
save $400 on your tuition. Tuition details,
logistical information, and sign-up is right
here:

See you in February.

Regards,

Pete

This email was sent just before the previous one.

====

A couple of hundred people interested in the
Retreat wrote or called with questions this
week. We don't have room for that many (it is
first come, first serve) so if you're interested
get your deposit in quickly. I'll send out a
comprehensive Q&A email for you and everyone
next week.

In the meantime, Marie just sent me a load of
fascinating testimonials that I wanted to
share with you...

* * * *
Saved our marriage
* * * *

We were on the edge of divorce when Marie came
into our lives. She told us that the master
bedroom was in the "conflict zone" of our
house and that every one who had lived in the
place before had to have had a divorce. We
checked with the owner and indeed that was true.

She said, "The conflict zone is too big, and I
would like you to move to another bedroom. It
will be smaller but your romance will be
bigger." We became great lovers again!

Job offers rolled in
* * * *

Marie Diamond came to our home in Topanga and
said, "I am sure since you moved in both you
and your husband haven't had offers for work."

We are both actors, and no offers, not even
any auditions, had come to us since we moved in
to that house. Within a day of doing Feng Shui
the first call for an audition came in.

But she suggested we should move any how
because the landscape Feng Shui was so wrong
that "all the money would leave through the
back door."

She was so right. She helped us find a much
better place in Malibu, and we are doing very
well both career-wise and as a family.

40% increase in net income
* * * *

Marie Diamond started doing the Feng Shui of
my hotel. She raised the net income more than
40 percent in the first year. We are now
always fully booked. We are a 5 star hotel in
a small European town.

* * * *
Stopped thieves
* * * *

We have a large fashion company in Spain.
Mother Marie looked at the floor plan and our
personal chart. She said, "You are being
robbed in money and in merchandise." She was
right on. I had to change my desk around and
paint the warehouse a different color. All
problems stopped and we are thriving.

AM in Barcelona, Spain

* * * *
Business increased 40%
* * * *

We have a fashion wholesale business. When
Marie came in she told us in which corner of
the shop we always sold a lot of clothes and
in which corner we didn't. She was completely
right.

She gave us Feng Shui "cures" and opened the
flow of chi in our businesses. People started
going to the place in our shop where before
they never went and started buying. After nine
weeks we raised our business 40 percent.

MM in Brussels, Belgium

* * * *
Even the children noticed
* * * *

We had many fights in our relationship.
Everything was always good between us when
we were downstairs, but the moment we went
upstairs and crawled into bed, we started
arguing. Of course our love life was really
difficult.

Marie Diamond told us that the mirror in our
bedroom reflected between our bodies creating
a split between us. We changed the mirror and
became lovy dovy again. The children said, "It
is strange we don't hear your loud voices
anymore at night since Mother Marie came along."

[Remember, her clients call her Mother Marie.]

Boyfriend came back
* * * *

Marie came to my house. The first thing she
said, while standing in the front door, was,
"You are very lonely, and you like wine too
much." She was right.

After her consultation an old boy friend came
back to me, new work proposals came my way,
and I feel much better.

* Stopped theft
* Resolved conflict
* Net worth doubled
= = =

I asked Marie to come to see my wholesale
business in construction material.

Through the Feng Shui layout of the office she
immediately saw the problems we had in the
business with certain employees. She predicted
I would have a loss of money through robbery
that summer from an employee.

That summer we saw a loss of cash, and we
remembered her advice to place security
cameras. I installed cameras and saw that my
secretary was taking money away every night.
She was with me for 14 years and has never
done so before.

To solve conflict with employees, we needed to
"activate" an area with silent water [Pete:
you'll find out about activating energy at the
Retreat]. She asked me if I sold water
containers--we sell containers for rainwater
at construction sites. I placed them in
specific areas filled with water. The conflict
between our employees started to cool off
almost immediately, and, as a bonus, we sold
more water containers.

A man came to me with a proposal for an
additional business. I accepted, and Marie
Diamond helped create the best possible office
for him.

My net worth doubled in 9 months.

We live next to our wholesale store and the
entrance of our house faces the same direction
as the shop. I didn't ask her to do my
personal home, because I wanted to start with
my business.

As she walked to her car parked just in front
of my home, she said, "If your home is facing
the same direction as the door of your
business and your son is sleeping on that side
of your home, he has a great sleeping problem.
I bet he does not even sleep in his own bed."

I was blown away. It was true we tried
everything to keep my son sleeping in his
room, even punishment, but every night he
would beg to sleep in our room. Of course
romance was not great anymore because of this.

I immediately invited her into the house. She
asked my son if he felt suffocated in his room
like some one was strangling him. He said that
was exactly how he felt but never told us.

She suggested we move into his bedroom and he
into ours. She told us that the Feng Shui of
his room was good for adults and daughters,
but not boys.

We moved his bed to the other bedroom, and he
has slept in his room ever since.

Thank you Marie Diamond.

Reformed drug dealing
* * * *

My son was in trouble. He had just been
arrested for drug dealing. We are a decent
family and have never been in contact with
drugs. We asked Mother Marie in. She showed us
how my son's environment co-created his
situation. The futon on the ground needed to
become a bed, and spider posters on his door
needed to come down.

The poster of plants that hung in his "success
corner" was actually marijuana plants.

We painted his room a color Marie recommended,
redirected his bed, and hung a different
picture in his success corner. He was
sentenced to probation and never returned to
his drug dealing friends. He became our angel
again.

More thieves stopped
* * * *

Marie checked the plant of our construction
site, because every weekend materials were
stolen. She asked us to fence one third of one
side and leave the rest open. That didn't make
sense, because the thieves could come in
through the open field. But they never came
back again!

Turning life around
* * * *

My house was converted from a former spiritual
center that had to close because of financial
problems. Since I moved in with my partner, we
had tremendous spiritual growth, but my career
stopped and passion drained from our romantic
life.

Marie stood in the front door measuring the
direction with her compass. She said, "You are
living in something designed to be a temple.
Three things are happening here. The first is
spiritual growth. Second, because of the way
the flow of energy comes in the house and how
the stairs are located, you are losing money.
Third, people don't make love in a temple, so
your romantic life is not that great any
more."

We started doing her recommended cure, but she
said that the place would never have good
career luck as long as I lived there. She
advised me to move.

I was also sleeping toward a bad direction for
romance. The lack of passion was mostly from
my side. We turned the bed around and the
romance changed.

* * * *
What might happen
for you?
* * * *

How is your love life? Your career? Your
finances? Your family? Your place in the
world? Feng Shui might just be what you're
looking for. Follow your intuition and sign
up. We'll do everything we can for a
wonderfully rewarding experience that will
serve you for many, many years to come.

What happens during the six days will be
transformative. The same types of turn-arounds
as above can happen for you.

Marie will teach you and guide you to find and
correct these situations for yourself. As
great as it would be, she just can't possibly
go into everyone's home for personal
consultations--there simply is not enough time.
But what you will learn from her at the
Diamond Feng Shui Retreat in February will not
only serve you immediately, but will be a
source of benefit for you, your family, and
friends long into the future.

refundable $280 deposit, go to:

Please write back if you have any questions,
but give me time to respond.

February will be splendid and will hold some
exciting surprises for you.

Regards,

Pete

Pete;

a copy of a Feng Shui Poem I have hanging in my office;

There is a touch of magic light
It can be understood intuitively
But not conveyed in words

The hills are fair
The waters fine
The sun handsome
The breeze mild
The sky a new light
It is another world

Amid confusion, Peace
Amid peace a festive air
Upon coming into it's presence
Ones eyes are opened

If one sits or lies
Ones heart is joyful
Here Chi gathers
and the essence collects

Light shines in the middle
and magic goes out all sides

Pete:

I am a relatively new user of SFQ and saw your post there on this Feng Shui Retreat.

Your quote/comment

"The most recent 20-year cycle changed in
February 2004."

just blew me away.

My wife was diagnosed with brain cancer and we had a large tumor removed in FEBRUARY 2004!!

Your description of what is going to happen on the retreat sounds fabulous.

PROBLEM: Giving full time care to my wife and in addition, all of the expense associated with her care precludes being able to be present.

QUESTION: How can I learn about this effectively and not be present. Is it possible? Books? Tapes? It seems like her problems might be significantly relieved using the techniques you have described as being used by Marie Diamond.

HELP!!!! PLEASE!!!!

Thanks,

Fred

Marie does not have a book and her system is not on tape. As a result of the Retreat we might do a course with Marie Diamond, but that would not be ready until 2006 at the earliest.

If I were your wife, I would do the Small Universie sitting meditation from Spring Forest Qigong for one hour every single day. (Or at least the 30-minute version.)

If I were you, I would do a Qigong healing on her every day also.

Feng Shui update...

Two exciting things for you:

1) The "Feng Shui for the Holidays"
TeleSeminar is this Thursday. The purpose is
to help you make changes in your space that
will alter the flow of energy during this
holiday season. I've copied last week's email
in the P.S. to remind you of the event.

Paul Scheele, Marie Diamond, and I spent the
last week together at John Gray's ranch in
northern California (John is the "Men are from
Mars" guy). Marie showed us what to do in a
guest room or hotel room so that you sleep
better and so that the energy is better when
traveling. This is one of the things she will
cover for you on the telephone conference.

2) Jack Canfield (the "Chicken Soup for the
Soul" guy) was with us, too. He told me that
since Marie did Feng Shui on his office, he's
seen a significant increase in abundance and
wealth for his company.

Last summer when Jack introduced me to Marie,
he said his staff noticed an immediate change
in the office. His staff then told me
personally that they felt better and could
concentrate easier. Now just five months later
the Feng Shui changes have already paid
financial rewards to Jack and his company.
Real tangible results.

I also met another one of Marie's client's,
whose name I'll keep secret. Marie had walked
into her home and said, "Your boyfriend is
having an affair." Marie was absolutely
correct. She said what changes needed to be
made in the home, the changes were made, and
the relationship mended.

There are so many ways to benefit from the
ancient Chinese practice of Feng Shui, but it
is neat when the two most pressing issues that
people have -- money and relationships are
routinely improved.

When you come to the February Diamond Feng
Shui Retreat you will learn how to do Feng
Shui on your own home and workplace as well as
those of your friends.

You will learn secrets that are not in any
published books on Feng Shui. Marie
demonstrated Feng Shui for me on a new place
of business in Ft. Bragg, California. She told
me that the business will never make money.
She told me why, and she told me what the
business would have to do to change the energy
flow. But, the business will never know this.
The business will simply lose money, and may
eventually close down. Why? Because the owners
of that business do not know the detrimental
affect the energy has on the property.

You need to learn this so that you can see
what is going on with the energy around your
space. If you sign up for the Retreat -- not
only will you and four guests be able to join
us on the "Feng Shui for the Holidays" 90-
minute call, but we will send you a compass so
that you can take readings of your house and
your workplace. Direction is one aspect of
Feng Shui that you will learn.

We also want you to bring photographs of your
home so that Feng Shui problems can be
diagnosed and addressed.

Remember, 1/3 of your fortune and happiness in
life comes from the energy that is around you.
Join us in February, and you'll see how to
increase fortune and happiness levels right
away!

Sign up now for the Retreat by making a $280
refundable deposit. And, get up to four of
your friends together for this Thursday's
TeleSeminar. This will be a great holiday gift
for them--and for you!

See you Thursday.

Pete

P.S. - Here's the email I sent last week:

Subject: Call Marie Diamond!

Marie -- who presents our Diamond Feng
Shui Retreat in February -- wants a telephone
call with you.

The topic is "Feng Shui for the Holidays."

She and Paul Scheele will do a 90-minute
TeleSeminar next Thursday, Dec. 9th.

Here's what you'll get from the session:

You will enjoy more and suffer less.

If you find stress in the holidays, do what
Marie suggests. You will definitely be less
stressed and have fewer anxieties, because you
will avoid or minimize the negatives through
Feng Shui.

AND you will find more sparkle, joy, and
energy.

You'll see why in the highlights of the
TeleSeminar:

* The most important thing you should do to
your front closet to increase the flow of
energy in your home.

* What you should look for and eliminate in
your front entrance to ensure that your
guests enjoy themselves.

* How to determine what color should be
featured in a wreath on your front door to
empower your home--and why.

* How to release decorations that carry sad
memories or are broken.

* How to protect your home from any negative
energy from relatives and friends.

* What to do before, during, and after holiday
travel.

* How to find and plug energy leaks in hotel
and other guest rooms where you stay.

* How to bring home good energy.

* Why this is the best time of year to update
photographs of family and friends.

* Why you should NOT leave food in your
refrigerator.

* Red, Green, and Gold didn't just happen to
be the colors of the holidays. They are
specific light frequencies whose energies have
specific purposes. Learn why they are
important and how to activate them.

* For most, the holiday season is a spiritual
time. Marie will give insights to: 1) find
spiritual balance, 2) reflect on your
spiritual path, and 3) find your inner light

* Marie and Paul recommend that you purchase a
six-inch diameter candle. They will charge the
candle with energy during a guided meditation
on the TeleSeminar. You will release the
energy when the candle burns this holiday
season.

The holidays can be a wonderful time of year.
Attend this TeleSeminar and you'll discover
how to have them be even better.

For me, what makes a holiday special is not
fancy decorations or piles of gifts, but the
people. Feng Shui supports people by working
with the energy that already flows throughout
the world. It helps enhance the interaction of
people. It boosts personal energy, supports
good feelings, and makes it easier to enjoy life.

Open only to enrollees in the
