Myths about Fengshui

Just like many other subjects, Fengshui ranges from mere common sense to certain aspects that might stretch even the greatest fan's credulity. As a Fengshui practitioner, we have to weed out the myths and superstition. It is important to understand the subject and always refer back to the key concepts that make sense to us.

Myth#1

Has any master ever tell you, your house need have the five basic elements– fire, earth, metal, water, and wood; if your space miss certain Fengshui element’s , it is consider to has a bad Fengshui. To extend, you may miss something in life due to that. This is supposing that you’re not planning to remodel or do any new construction. If you are, you can plan it all in advance and perhaps not even need all of these five. A good Fengshui Master is able to incorporate the correction without anybody noticing, but the benefits will affect the occupants subtly and efficiently.

Myth#2

Does a mirror attract good energy and reflect away bad luck? The answer from me is “No”; mirrors aren’t that smart to know which energy you’d like to attract and which you’d like to reject. This myth comes from the old days when mirrors were solid heavy pieces of polished metal (usually copper). Back in those days the Fengshui Master place a mirror as a correction not due to it’s the reflectivity but rather the metal element of the mirror. Obviously, many Fengshui Masters nowadays wouldn’t know this.

Myth#3
Many Fengshui lovers believe that Fengshui is a magical formula to make ones rich, healthy and popular. But in actual fact, Fengshui can only help you to harness the positive energies in your environment. To create wealth, health and relationship still lays on your effort.

Myth#4

Has you ever wonder, is it truth we need to look for certain direction or good Fengshui place before we buy a house? My answer to this is simple, the Fengshui of most places are simply mixed and affects people differently depending on their birth dates. You can rarely find any place or location on earth, that really good or bad Fengshui.

Myth#5

Many Fengshui lovers believe that leaving the toilet seat up will flush away your money. Obviously, leaving the toilet seat up will not physically flush away your wealth. But if every time you leave the bathroom you return back later to double check the toilet seat, you are actually entering the realms of superstition and worry. Worry is a mental process that actually stops the flow of energy. Trust me - if an idea frightens you or causes concern - then it is obviously not being presented properly.

Myth#6

Many readers love to ask this question, it is true that we need to believe in Fengshui for it to work? My answer is “No”. Having positive thinking is always a good thing but it is not important in Fengshui. Fengshui works even if you don't believe it will.
