Feng shui
 
im curious about everyones views on it. and for those of you who are unfamilior with the concept.


Feng Shui: The Chinese art or practice of positioning objects, especially graves, buildings, and furniture, based on a belief in patterns of yin and yang and the flow of chi that have positive and negative effects.

so according to feng shui you can make yourself more healthy according to how your furniture is aranged.

Boogie Woogie Feng Shui was the episode of Cowboy Bebop on Adult Swim last night.

Feng Shui is based on logical thinking, if you really think about it. I have absolutely no clue concerning the spiritual aspect, but hey, it works!

Screw it put the furniture where it makes you comfortable, common sense.

I haven't read anything about it, but I would assume that is the purpose. If you weren't comfortable with how it was, it would bother you, thus creating negative energy.

TheTypist 06-22-2004 09:39 PM

I quite agree. If you are uncomfortable with all that positive/negative energy stuff, you should look at it as a type of common sense, where certain ideas work for many people.

The thing I'm curious about is the origin. How did they come up with feng shui? Do you think it was purely based on symbolism, or was it more of a trial-and-error thing?

If feng shui permits putting the couch facing the television, and being a comfortable visual distance from it, then sure, it's cool.

And how does Feng Shui know where the wall sockets are?

Omeganitros 06-23-2004 01:00 AM

It is not the position of the Wall Socket that matters, but the shape of it. Irregular-shaped things create destructive energy.

Positioning of things depends on your Geomantic Compass.
It's really quite simple once you know how the compass works. It's learning how the compass works that's complicated. :P

There's a difference between Feng Shui and my post, Feng Shui tells you where to put the furniture, I say put it where you want.

And Omega didn't you already post a thread on this a while back

evilbutterfly 06-23-2004 05:38 PM

yeah, and he put a link to it a lil bit ago. and i say screw Feng Shui. if u dont like how it's arranged it will be degenerative to your health, and u may not like how Feng Shui dictates that u should arrange your furniture. i think Jamie said it best.

Omeganitros 06-23-2004 10:23 PM

It does not dictate. If it dictated, it would force you place your stuff in such manners using a whip.

Also, Feng Shui is not all about furniture. There are neat diagrams you can make using the Geomantic Compass that can tell you if your house is going to burn down of natural causes and stuff.

Like I said in my topic, Feng Shui is kinda like Tarot Cards, but more interactive. It's just superstition.

evilbutterfly 06-23-2004 10:48 PM

and i'm not a believer in superstition. so yeah, thats a no go for Feng Shui
