Have you ever used Feng Shui?

No, but this survey question just answered a crossword puzzle clue from yesterday. Thanks.

Can't say I have. What is it? I don't feel like clicking on the well provided links.

A couple of little things which I thought were interesting, more from a good-design-principle point of view than from feng shui. I've also found out that (coincidentally) some things I do are good feng shui--like, I have a bushy plant between my couch and the window, which is supposed to be good feng shui. Mostly I think it's a load of crap, although I find it interesting when it yields good design results.

It's more the other way around... I feel like I've been used by Feng Shui.

We use mirrors over our entry doors to reflect negative energy and also have a water fountain by the front door for financial prosperity. Don't know if they work. Ever notice how many Chinese restaurants have an aquarium or other water feature in the front entry area?
My office cube set-up is totally bad Feng Shui. Everyone has their back to the cube entry which is a no-no. A few have mirrors by their monitors to counteract this.

Not really... although by bed does point towards the bedroom door... isn't that feng shui?

Oh good, I have an aquarium by my front door

I have noticed that about chinese restaurants... never thought about it.

It's supposed to attract financil prosperity. I figure it doesn't hurt to do it. If it works, then fine.

I wonder what kind of trouble we'd be in if we didn't have the aquarium!

HELL NO! Furniture Voodoo

Not deliberately.

No, my wife sometimes does a Feng shui check when she does a room over, but I could give a crap less about Feng Shui.

I keep it in mind - I purposely keep corners uncluttered and am conscious of mirror and bed placement. I think it makes sense (the stuff I can remember about it). I'm not interested in avoiding chinese style ghosts or anything.

As I said on the other Feng Shui survey, it's a crock of crap...BULLCRAP to be exact!

No. I just assume that its worthless bullcrap and arrenge my furniture the way that *I* want to.

no

No

No, unless I got an idea from a book that just so happened to be based on Feng Shui. I haven't used it for those baloney reasons, though.

Im not gullible

nope

Why would I use Feng Shui when *not* using Feng Shui provides me with another excuse for being tired and lazy.

"Sorry, I was late for work. My wardrobe is facing the wrong way and I don't have enough mirrors in the bathroom and don't get me started on the water feature in the garden, if I told that landscaper once I told him a thousand times, "North! Not East!!"".

I attempt to incorporate it everywhere I am. I am not good at it, I use common sense and intuition and I have friends who are proffesionals at it so I just ask them. There are so many different types of feng shui, some of which are so rigid I cannot use any of my furniture or my house for that manner. The type of feng shui that insists you throw it out rather than find a way it will work. We used some feng shui in the office, actually had someone set it up for us, and the business took off right after that. Coincidence? Maybe. But the concept of why it works makes sense to me.

what?

Sorry! Didn't mean to startle you! The bed, pointing at the door , I think is a feng shui no-no. I think it needs to be off to the side or something.

My bed is position C: http://www.dummies.com/WileyCDA/DummiesArticle/id-...

That is exactly how mine is. It is more comfortable than the way I had it. It just makes more sense.

Yes. I've been doing it all my life, but just learned it had a name back in the mid 90's.

Maybe that's why I enjoy being alone, I'm happy with my own surroundings.

No, I think is bogus 'science' at best.
