Dear parents,

On behalf of our professional team I would like to welcome you all to Embryonic Feng Shui website and to introduce our innovative research project to you.Embryonic Feng Shui was born in order to explore and decode the true potentiality and real tendency of any child regarding its professional establishment and success,a potentiality not coded,"written" anywhere in the human genetic code.Before proceeding any further,I need to dissociate the so-called "talent" or "gift" from the professional predisposition which is determined strictly energetically and guarantees the professional success and social establishment.Each child will develop and show an unusual tendency towards a certain (one or perhaps more) activity/area of expertise.This is,entirely,consistent with child hyperactivity and experimentation,the influences of the family and the identification of children with specific role models and the emulation of their behavior.However,the vast majority of children will not acquire the desired professional recognition and financial security by practising that very same activity (even the few who will manage to achieve that will do so because of energy favoritism).It is widely believed that the likelihood of becoming exceptionally competent in certain fields depends upon the presence or absence of inborn attributes.It is also assumed that the innate talent that makes it possible for an individual to excel can be observed in early childhood. Trully,some individuals acquire ability more smoothly and effortlessly than ordinary people, but that fact does not confirm the talent account. Differences between people in the ease in which a particular skill is acquired may be caused by any of a number of contributing factors.These include various motivational and personality influences as well as previous learning experiences that equip a person with knowledge, attitudes, skills, and self-confidence. Facility is often the outcome rather than the cause of unusual capabilities.Generally, the correlational evidence linking performance to brain characteristics suggests that innately determined biological differences do contribute to the variability of expertise in specific areas of competence. However, there is a large gulf between identifying neural correlates of behavioural differences and finding a neural predictor of talent.The relations between neural and performance measures are too weak to warrant conclusions about talent, and correlations diminish as tasks become more complex (Howe,Michael J.A&Davidson J.W.&Sloboda J.A. 1998).Generally speaking,the knowledge about the genetic basis of specific high-level abilities is particularly limited (Plomin, 1988, Thompson & Plomin, 1993). In the Minnesota Study of twins reared apart self-ratings of musical talent correlated .44 among monozygotic twins reared apart, considerably less than the correlation of .69 for monozygotic twins reared together (Lykken, in press), suggesting that family experience makes a substantial contribution to self-ratings of musical ability. Similarly, in a study of musical abilities in twins, Coon & Carey (1989) concluded that among young adults musical ablility was influenced more by shared family environment than by shared genes.Anyhow,it is important to keep in mind that early ability is not evidence of talent unless it emerges in the absence of special opportunities to learn.
