Is Feng Shui in conflict with any organized religion? What is ironic is that Feng Shui originates from a culture and country where Buddhism is the predominant religion, and yet there are sects of Buddhism which presently dissuade their followers from believing in any kind if divination arts, including Feng Shui. This is ironic because those who only have a passing acquaintance with Feng Shui often seize that it is an integral fraction of Buddhism.
As a consultant for nearly two decades, I have had clients from all walks of life. I have had clients who were predominantly Christian, Jewish, Buddhist, Muslim, Hindu, Sikh, and atheist, heavenly noteworthy in the order. Perhaps I am only dealing with clients who are not orthodox in whatever religion they practice. I know this must be the case with the clients who are Muslim and Christian, but I suspect this is the case with the other religions as well. I was raised Jewish and it’s my notion that the orthodox Jews in Israel do not even assume that the reform Jews in American are even Jewish. I do remove having an Orthodox Jewish client once who was very depressed with my suggestions in her home. I had been recommended to her by a concerned friend, so she reluctantly scheduled with me. It was not that I was suggesting she do anything that would be offensive to how she had her household arranged. It was merely the fact that she was taking advice, outside the Torah, which perplexed her. And yet, I have been asked to evaluate a Kabbalah Center in my station.
As well, I have had clients who met with me when their born-again Christian spouse was not home, in order to avoid conflict or confrontation. Of course, this is all very sunless and laughable for me. From my perspective, whatever your spiritual or religious beliefs, I know that Feng Shui applications can only enhance whatever it is that one is doing in their life and in the name of their religion.
If you have a location in your home for prayer or meditation, there are Feng Shui principles which can enhance that experience. I have even evaluated a few churches and synagogues. I mediate that most religions preach family harmony and peep the body as a temple which should be respected. This means peace at home and taking care of your health. Feng Shui theories only complement these goals.
People of all religions will respond the special feeling they accept from being in their respective houses of love. The feeling of holiness, sanctity, and peace is consciously created in these religious spaces and people want that experience. If we all can respond that a dwelling feels holy, we have an belief or know from personal experience what the OPPOSITE feels like. If we are affected by spaces in a religious, spiritual or inspired context, we can also answer that other forces are at work to affect us temporarily, if not long term, as well. As worthy as a dwelling can feel holy or “unholy,” Feng Shui can address this aspect, in addition to the more mundane concerns that most Feng Shui adherents have: money, health and adore.
If someone views Feng Shui as an “occult” practice because we are manipulating the forces of nature, I honest want to go on relate as saying that the one God of the Universe would not allow us to manipulate the forces of nature unless He/She/It allowed us to do so. Nothing happens outside of God’s Will, so Feng Shui is fragment of God’s Will. Finding cures to end diseases is also manipulating the forces of nature.
My hold understanding of God is very abstract and I admire the acronym G.O.D.: the Generating, Organizing, and Destroying principles of the Universe. Feng Shui is about living in harmony with Nature. Nature as we know it is a manifestation of God.
