5 myths about Feng Shui

If you are not a professional in the sphere of Feng Shui, then it’s not easy to figure out where the true rules are, and where are the conjectures. And, it is necessary to tell, sellers of souvenir production quite often use it, telling about “magic” force of this or that amulet or figurine. This post is aimed at helping you figure out where Feng Shui ends and marketing begins.

Myth # 1: The main thing is to believe

Of course, the placebo effect has not been canceled yet, and if you wholeheartedly believe that a certain element of the decor will help you achieve what you want, then it is possible that it will “work.” But it will happen because of your aspirations, because Feng Shui is NOT a religion! This is a philosophy based on centuries of observation of nature and its interaction with man. It also takes into account the analysis of individual characteristics of a person, and accurate compass measurements and much more. All this allows us to create the most comfortable conditions for each of us, to be charged with energy for accomplishments and live in harmony with ourselves and nature.

Myth # 2: Feng Shui in everything

Feng Shui is used exclusively for decoration of premises, for car design, key fobs, nails and other things, it has nothing to do with it. Therefore, if you are assured that a Chinese knot of red thread on a bunch of keys will bring you luck in business or love, you should not believe it. But, as an decor addition, such an accessory is quite useful.

Myth # 3: To get rich, you need to buy a money plant

Despite its eloquent name, the plant will not make its owner millionaire. Of course, the presence of such a tree in your home will attract lively, favorable energy, and improve the microclimate in the house, but waiting for a miracle from sitting on the couch is useless.

Myth # 4: the magical effect of fountains and “happy” bamboo

As experts say, these attributes, indeed, help to correct the energy of space, but only if they are arranged by a person who is able to take into account the layout of the room, the peculiarities of the location of the house and even the landscape.

Myth # 5: The octagonal mirror reflects the negative

This attribute (mirror Bagua), the ancient Chinese hanged not inside the house, but outside – only then, they believed, the mirror will “work”, protecting the habitation from evil spirits and negatives in general. If you hang it in a room, it will have, rather, decorative value.
