PRINCIPLES OF FENG SHUI

Acknowledgements ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to start when I began and thank my mother and father for giving me so much of their love, enthusiasm and care throughout my life. Dragana for all her passionate love, for bringing me down to earth when I needed it and then picking me up again. I also thank her for spending so much time cooking the most incredible macrobiotic food for me, taking such good care of me and creating a wonderful home for us. Without all this I could not have written this book. My children Christopher, Alexander, Nicholas and Michael, for being so affectionate and so much fun. They have given me the chance to relive my childhood with them. My brother-in-law Denny Waxman, who first introduced me to what was, then, a whole new world of eastern wisdom, for all his help throughout the years, his excellent lectures and most valued friendship. My sister Melanie who introduced me to macrobiotics, invited me to the USA where I met such inspiring teachers, and for taking such good care of me. I wish to thank the rest of my growing family, Adam, Angela, and all my nieces and nephews for giving me so much joy. Over the years I have met so many teachers who have helped me along this path, and I thank them all. In particular I wish to thank Michio Kushi for inspiring me to make so many positive changes in my life, and all his profound teachings on oriental philosophy and medicine. Shizuko Yamamoto for training me so well in the art of shiatsu, and keeping me focused on real life practical matters. Patrick McCarty, Rik Vermuyten, Patrick Riley and Saul Goodman for being such good teachers in class and so much fun out of class. I have always benefited from and enjoyed my time spent with Marc Van Cauwenberghe, Bill Tara and William Spear. The aspect of my work I find most enjoyable is the people I meet. Over the years so many of my clients have become good friends. I wish I had the space to mention them all. I would like to give my special thanks to Boy George, Michael Maloney and Kim Andreolli for making my work so exciting and being such good friends. In the same way I have greatly appreciated the company of Bruce Stonehouse, and I would like to thank him for reading the drafts of this book. I also wish to thank Gina Lazenby and Heidi Gough for their much appreciated work in organizing lectures and clients for me through the Feng Shui Network International. Harriet McNeer who has supported me so much during my visits to the USA, along with Krista and Reid Berman. I wish to thank all my clients for giving me the benefit of their experience. Michelle Pilley, from HarperCollins, who commissioned this book, deserves my warmest gratitude for believing in me and in Feng Shui. Thank you all.
