Feng Shui

Two words: placebo effect.

^Yeah pretty much.

I always knew Feng Shui was rearranging furniture.. never knew it had anything to do with "karma" and whatnot.

It has nothing to do with karma or spirits or half of the nonsense people in this thread are going on about.

So what is it besides just rearranging furniture?

It is a design principle that improving your immediate physical environment can improve your mental state, and this can lead you to being more successful.

So me cleaning my room is Feng Shui? Cause I definitely feel better with a clean room, and can get things done better.

That's probably the most practical form of Feng Shui in existance.

It's only in the Western world of man-made things that 'Feng Shui' is about furniture. In the East, it refers to the aesthetic balance and order of the ethereal in a domestic setting. It's literal translation is 'Wind Water'.

You have just been educated.

Did you know that a certain Mr Lau lost all his children to a malevolent (put in the "total loss of descendants" position) oven! 😱 but when the problem was corrected he had another baby... and to his utter stupefaction it was a European child! 😱

Feng Shui movie is much cooler than Feng Shui in real life. 😉

*moves bed somewhere different*

now....something doesnt feel right in my karma....

*suddenly dies*

that was probably it 😄

Feng Shui is the belief that by moving your furniture around in a particular way, you will develop good kharma and as a result succeed in life. That's right, moving furniture = success, according to this.

On top of that, there are actually people who do this for a living. They are hired by some poor sap, go into their house, and "feel" the vibes in that house, and move furniture accordingly. This costs the customer thousands of dollars.

Humerously enough, on the great show "Penn and Teller: Bullshit" they proved this was, as the title of their show would suggest, bullshit, by hiring numerous "Feng Shui experts" to see if they were consistant with eachother. Of course, they were not. One "expert" would move a table on one side of the room, then another "expert" would come and move the table elsewhere, claiming that it's previous location was causing bad Kharma (keep in mind, it's last location was chosen by another, expenive, Feng Shui expert). This would continue for some time, they continued moving shit around, completely contradicting the previous expert, and then having another expert contradict them. No consistance = no credibility.

It's similar to astrology, in the way that it's totally stupid and only credible to guillable sucktards, who else would think that moving pieces of wood would increase your success in life.

😆 Even through I try to respect other people's views I find this funny and unbelieveable untrue.jm 🙂

The best piece of "Feng Shui" advice I can give is as follows: -

Always hide your porn in a place that won't be easily stumbled upon by your wife/husband/parents/siblings/kids when re-arranging furnature or looking for something else totally unrelated.

It's good advice. Especially if your taste in porn is a little bit leftfield too.

the japanese definetly come up with some weird shit.... although I think there might be some validity to the feng shui, most of it is mental. If you think you will succeed, you will....sort of thing.

Although you wont catch me with my couch in the middle of the room because it gives good vibes. The only reason for my couch to ever be anywhere its not supposed to be, is to be able to watch tv at an angle with less glare.

🤨eer

If anyone is interested I provide Feng Shui $ervice$. eyes

Feng Shui was developed 4,000 years ago by the Chinese.

Oops sorry....
I get them confused sometimes, because they do a lot of the same things.

the simpsons put it best (episode where Selma goes to china to adopt a child, the paint homer like a budah and leave him outside the adoption agency for him to infiltrate in and steal a baby)
Guard: we cant leave this budah here, it would be bad feng shui
Guard 2: feng shui? isn't that aload of crap we make the west believe to sell small tables?
Guard: oh yeah. well lets move him anyway

I believe in the whole less clutter concept, as well as not having electronics in your bedroom, and the fact that green plants increase positive energy, and the colour of your walls has an affect on mood.

Like in my bedroom I don't have anything electronic except my digital clock, and I keep plants around, and I dont have crap lying everywhere.
