What feng shui "products" marketers don't really want you to know....
...is that in the scheme of the Chinese Metaphysical view of life, the order of Heaven, Earth & Man is the key in understanding our lives ("tien, di, ren").
1st Heaven: Our life purpose, in-born personality (akin to "nature" in the nature/nurture context) and life circumstances around us. Just like we've no choice to which family and environment we're born into, we need to give it our 100% with what we have. Destiny analysis tools eg. BaZi is one method is deciphering what the universe has in store for us. "Heaven" is 1st & foremost the most crucial since it's our in-born personality traits and talents and sets the tone for our individual lives in a certain immediate environment (related to 2nd concept)
2nd Earth aka Feng Shui: Energy patterns around us either support our endeavours or hamper them. The understanding of qi (ie. energy patterns) in the *environment" is the study of Feng Shui. Not placement of affirmative knick-knacks and paddywhacks all over the house. Don't believe in qi? Then have a think about how our physical bodies derive energy/strength from....Surely it's not just from our food/drink intake..? Energy/qi is all around us!
3rd Man/Woman: This is the KEY is tying up the 1st & 2nd concepts. No point having the greatest potential nor excellent feng shui if u ain't gonna work hard, self-cultivate and give life a 100%! Here's where placing objects associated with positive symbolism comes in. Hey, whoever said cultural or empowering symbolism has no place in improving lives? It's just that it's NOT feng shui per se. Reading "The Secret" and empowering one's mental strength falls under this category. Taking the intiative in understanding your destiny too falls under the category (this is using your "Man Luck" to initiate understanding of your "Heaven Luck"). So is helping others, being fillial, kind-hearted and charitable. It is everything that you as a capable living human being can and should do to maximise your in-born talents/strengths and to handle the screwballs that life chucks at you.
There you go...heaven, earth, man. Notice "heaven" is numero uno!

Wahhh very "chimm" lar!!! Hehehhe....
Well, who said life was so easy to understand...hehehe...
Changing what we can , does it take long for it to take effect?
WL,
Are you talking personal bazi or feng shui?
If BaZi, it depends the extent of personality or mindset modification needed against the extent of change the individual takes.
If Feng Shui, the improvements should be relatively quick. Depends on the methods the practitioner uses, changes can come as quick as 1/2 day! Gotta ask him/her to how long roughly it'll take.
"we've no choice to which family and environment we're born into"......some sufis believe that we do.....
they say like we chose our entry point in to this life.....and also promised our Creator to fulfill our destiny in the best way........they say most of us forget the choice and promise we made........
