Is feng shui a superstition?
Superstition is a belief based on chance due to lack of understanding of the laws of nature. Feng shui is based on the laws of nature. Anyone who studies feng shui seriously will see that there is a system of natural theories behind it. Once a person understands these theories, they will understand that feng shui is not a superstition. Today, feng shui has become popularized and many tips are given without explanation because the theories are often too complex for the lay person to understand. This results in many questionable tips, and has placed feng shui in the realm of magic. It is important to understand the mechanism – the reasons for the feng shui application – so that it does not become merely a superstitious belief. There is a reason behind every single adjustment. It is a matter of understanding why the adjustments work, and how they work. In fact, this understanding actually empowers the adjustments.
