美国风水学院开课
在加州的美国风水学院，是由一位华人创办的，创办人姓Sang，如果猜得没错，应该是桑先生。不知道他具体是来自台湾，大陆，香港，还是其他的华人地区。不过，这些并不重要，重要的是，他在美国开风水课程，而且已经受到普遍认同，这也是华人风水文化墙内开花墙外香的另一个有说服力的案例。
看到学院的开课介绍，看了课程表，这些课程对一个风水学者而言，都是很基本很基础的。我们平日实践学习需要很多时间的内容，他都能在为期几天的时段内教完。所以，就深度而言，的确是适合所谓的初学者。
然而，看了所有授课老师的资料，不禁令人耳目一新。因为这些老师的确是很国际化。有的来自美国，有的来自德国，都是洋人的面孔。忠诚希望有朝一日，我们也能以大陆为出发点，向全球热爱风水的人们广发邀请函。毕竟，太多国家需要这方面的服务，而真正能掌握风水实质的，又绝对是中国人，因为这是文化思维使然。易学系统，对受传统西方文化教育的洋人而言，是一个很不容易的观念跳跃。
希望在这里，能找到更多有志一同的伙伴们，大家一起往这个方向迈进。
附上美国风水学院的网址，风水课程介绍，和师资介绍。懂英文的慢慢看，不懂英文的，看看图片也好。
这里有一个在线演示，浅显，但是却对风水做了一个很不错的介绍。如果听得懂英文，值得试试看。
September 2008 Feng Shui Classes
Classical Feng Shui Classes with the American Feng Shui Institute
What is Feng Shui?
Feng Shui is the study of how the environment affects those who dwell in it. It literally means Wind and Water. Feng Shui can help you determine the best home to live in, which colors can help enhance your home; the best bed direction for deep sleep; and how to change your business or home into a center of power and harmony. Feng Shui can improve your health, relationships and your prosperity.
It is based on a complex scientific calculation, rather than a metaphysical reading relying on inspiration or intuition. We live on a planet that is filled with different energies. Our planet rotates on its axis, creating cycles of day and night. The earth also revolves around the Sun in yearly cycles and is subjected to other forces in the Universe. These physical forces and many different time cycles affect us profoundly. The Chinese have spent centuries observing the effects of these forces and learning how to better harmonize humans with their environment. This is the Science of Feng Shui.
Use Feng Shui to take control of your life and maximize its potential! We cannot control our destiny or luck, but with Feng Shui; good karma; and hard work; we can definitely maximize our life’s potential to live a happy, harmonious life. You can learn Classical Feng Shui so you can help yourself and loved ones to benefit from its nurturing effects.
Please join us for the following classes in Classical Feng Shui. These classes are ideal whether your interest is in creating harmony in your own life and in those around you; broadening your horizons or as a potential new career path. We hope you can take this opportunity to receive the most valuable knowledge for Master Sang.
Thank you for your continued support.
