  1. I suggest watching the video clip Feng Shui by Penn and Teller, there reason for it not being a science is pretty convincing, not to mention entertaining!!!


  2. it has both scientific elements and non-0scientific.

    for examples, according to most feng sui, sleeping right next to windows or a mirror etc is not good. what they trying to telkl is there could be heavy rain, sunshine heat and other danger etc that are more vulnerable if you do that...and theres possibilty of you scaring yourself when you just wake up and look directly into mirror...there are many more examples

  3. Just try it out for yourself. It promises a better life if you follow the rules, so do it and see if your life gets better.

    India has a similar system for building and arranging things... so their might be something to it.

  4. Feng Shui is regarded as a science (Chinese Metaphysics). From my experience, I can confirm that it is real. Just try it and you'll see it. But you should apply real Feng Shui systems, otherwise it won't (there are a lot of books, for example, using the term Feng Shui, but it is not about the Feng Shui systems). You can find out more about it here:

  5. it is not science, though it has its own system, which is not like math or science. like astrology, it is based on the stars and directions, just simplified to the techniques, like flying stars and 8 mansions.

    it is not superstition, because it affects you whether you believe it or not. most of the time, the thing that you are suffering from like illness are caused by a bad fengshui in your house. and you can only figure it out when you learned the techniques.

    it is a form of divination or metaphysics, made by the chinese many years ago to increase crop yield.

    how could you realize that it is real or not? well, if it is not effective, would the chinese continue to practice it to this day? overseas chinese believe that singapore made it possible to prosper in less than 20 years' time by using fengshui. and it is a fact in singapore and hongkong, that chinese businessmen consult famous fengshui masters before building their next skyscrapers. fengshui is real, because these very successful people would not spend thousands of dollars just to consult people, who do not know anything about architecture.

    but fengshui is not what most people think it is (as published in most books) -

    - it is not cleaning the clutter

    - it is not arranging your furnitures in an octagon shape

    - it is not about mirrors, bagua, or using the windchimes

    - it is not about dividing your house into 8 or 12 sections (career, wealth, etc.)

    - it is not painting your room a certain color

    - your house cannot have good fengshui by just having good fengshui or applying fengshui techniques to the bedroom (bec bad fengshui from other parts of the house can negate that part, even if you are just using the bedroom)

    - and i don't think that it can make your house in harmony with the elements. fengshui practitioners just say this. for you to stop asking and know their trade secrets.

    fengshui is about precise measurement to half a degree, proper use of the techniques (right calculations and analysis), and then proper applications of these techniques. that is why fengshui practitioners use a luo pan or a big chinese compass. if you know the techniques, then you'll realize that each circle that surrounds the luo pan is a technique.

    for more info read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fengshui

    at the right side is a picture of the luo pan

  6. I think if it would be relative to science, that is to say to aesthetics and their impact to our mood, thus the science of psychology, it could be the relation between the place of things in a space of any kind, and the living perception of an individuality, that is to say its character, its senses etc, that can make him happier, more feel more comfortable because of feng shui.
