Feng Shui

Ye I believe in it.
I had the cupboard in my room for years and hated it from the time I got it!!
Then I got "used" to it but still hated it....
Then I realized that subconsciously whenever I saw it it irritated me.

The got rid of it and felt so much better!! That empty space where the cupboard was is still there and now I love it!:p

Is that Feng Shui? Then yes I believe it!

I will now reply to my own thread :D

I sort of, kind of believe in it.

I have not done a proper analysis of my house, but would love to rearrange according to the principles.

Here are some (if you did not know, 'chi' is the word used for energy) -

Absolute BS. There's no evidence whatsoever for "chi". That said, the placebo effect may make the gullible feel better.

It was probably just an ugly cupboard.:p
 
imho a Lot of this type of thing stems from the middle ages. During that time they thought the sky was heaven and hell was below the ground. We now know whats up there and down there so im sorry but his is a load of bollocks. If this whole Feng Shui thing is real it would be universally true and i doubt some alien somewhere is worried about seeing his kitchen toilet in the mirror at the foot of his bed.
 
BS I tell 'ya

If the following is going to offend you, I'm sorry - please don't read it then :p

you can lighten a gloomy room by employing multidirectional light systems and using good feng shui colors.

Same here. Room too dark? "Duh", place a new light in room or put in a bigger window. Feng shui colours? You're talking about general colour coordinating/matching right?

Most unfortunately, feng shui has been perverted into a drug-related symbol thanks to the hippies, along with the yin-yang (which basically represents good & evil in us all). In otherwords, when you speak of feng shui to the general public, you're probably going to be prejudged as a nut-job.

Feng Shui is totally overrated imo. Don't let some nut-job decide how your house must look like For you, in the end You will be the one living in it and not the nut-job. Just use your common sense and make your house the way YOU like it. It is your house, make it your home.

Fine, if you are totally indecisive, then sure! Go for feng shui. It is a nice system you can work with. :)

Because we have 'complicated' life a lot in modern times. We wanted to do everything with machines, yet any scientist will agree that there are negative and positive energy in our natural existence and that it effects us.

It is almost like the theory of cause and effect or karma. It is not some drivel, it is part of the laws of nature and the universe.

So where will my African art (masks) fit in?

Yes but the largest of the 124 masks must face East....

Also the smallest one must by superglued to the roof so that it can "watch" over visitor and make sure they don't have bad Karma attack them in your living room. :p

3) There should be no mirrors opposite your bed or at the side of your bed. Mirrors opposite the bed can attract a third party to the relationship.

Thats only yourself you're seeing next to your partner, relax!
 
It's a crock, IMO. Antiquated ideas from the bygone dark ages, without a shred of scientific substance. Yeah, somewhat like some religious beliefs.
 
Feng Shui - Like the world needed more proof that some people have more money than sense.

11) Always open your bedroom windows at least once 20 minutes a day to allow fresh chi to come into your bedroom, if not you will be sleeping with stale chi every night.

I can measure, light, sound, electricity, magentism, gravity, and so I ask how can I measure CHI.
