I know someone who is obsessed with it and astrology and spent half an hour trying to explain me and my siblings that it’s legit while roasting our mess of a setup and home decorations(''having a painting of aggressive animals, horror decorations, figures, weapon replicas, pictures of our own late ancestors, too many stuff there and too many stuff here is not good actually etc) and that since we love China we should try it but yeah there is absolutely no way we’re moving anything lmao. We have and are used to this interior since 2014 and in no way we’re changing and we’re the kind of people where everything has to be in it’s place where we put it and no changing whatsoever but they can’t fathom that.

So what are your thoughts on it in general and what is CPC’s stance on it?

    “Feng Shui” in the west, like most “exotic oriental mysticism” has no real connection to the initial ideas practiced in pre-modern Asian cultures beyond the same name.

    It’s mainly used by Eat Pray Love types to pretend they are expert interior decorators (as you’ve seen with your acquaintance there). You get 3 different Feng Shui “experts” to look at a room and they’ll all recommend completely different (but equally expensive) “fixes” for the “problems” of the room. There’s no methodology and it’s 100% vibe based, regardless of how much they insist otherwise. It’s just yet another way con artists extract money from people who just want some control over their life.
