Feng shui today
Feng shui today
Today, feng shui is practiced not only by the Chinese, but also
by Westerners. However, with the passage of time and feng
shui's popularization in the West, much of the knowledge
behind it has been lost in translation, not paid proper attention
to, frowned upon, or scorned.
Robert T. Carroll sums up what feng shui today has become:
"... feng shui has become an aspect of interior decorating in the
Western world and alleged masters of feng shui now hire
themselves out for hefty sums to tell people such as Donald
Trump which way his doors and other things should hang.
Feng shui has also become another New Age "energy" scam
with arrays of metaphysical products ... offered for sale to help
you improve your health, maximize your potential, and guarantee
fulfillment of some fortune cookie philosophy."[45]
Others have noted how, when feng shui is not applied properly,
or rather, without common sense, it can even harm the environment,
such as was the case of people planting "lucky bamboo" in
ecosystems that could not handle them.[46] Still others are
simply skeptical.
Nevertheless, even modern feng shui is not always looked at as
a superstitious scam. Many people[who?] believe it is important
and very helpful in living a prosperous and healthy life either
avoiding or blocking negative energies that might otherwise have
bad effects. Many of the higher-level forms of feng shui are not
so easily practiced without either connections, or a certain amount
of wealth because the hiring of an expert, the great altering of
architecture or design, and the moving from place to place that
is sometimes necessary requires a lot of money. Because of this,
some people of the lower classes lose faith in feng shui, saying
that it is only a game for the wealthy.[47] Others, however,
practice less expensive forms of Feng Shui, including hanging
special (but cheap) mirrors, forks, or woks in doorways to
deflect negative energy.[48]
Even today feng shui is so important to some people[who?] that
they use it for healing purposes, separate from western medical
practice, in addition to using it to guide their businesses and
create a peaceful atmosphere in their homes.[49] In 2005, even
Disney acknowledged feng shui as an important part of Chinese
culture by shifting the main gate to Hong Kong Disneyland by
twelve degrees in their building plans, among many other actions
suggested by the master planner of architecture and design at
Walt Disney Imagineering, Wing Chao, in an effort to incorporate
local culture into the theme park.
