Feng shui, as a method or practice in and of itself, is predicated on a spiritual foundation. The ideas are founded on metaphysical notions that are deeply ingrained in both traditional Chinese culture and other ancient civilizations throughout the world. Feng shui is also founded on the principles of good design and common sense, but it is abundantly evident that many of its applications and assumptions have not yet been verified by western scientific research. Is the practice of Feng Shui incompatible with any kind of organized religion? Ironically, although Buddhism is the dominant religion in the culture and country where feng shui was developed, there are schools of Buddhism that actively discourage their adherents from believing in any form of divination arts, including feng shui. This is one of the ironies that makes the history of feng shui so intriguing. It is amusing that those who have just a cursory familiarity with feng shui sometimes believe that it is an essential component of buddhism even if this is not the case. My almost two decades of experience as a consultant have afforded me the opportunity to work with people from a wide variety of backgrounds. I have worked with customers that were mostly Christian, Jewish, Buddhist, Muslim, Hindu, Sikh, and Atheist, pretty much in that order. I have also worked with customers who were predominantly Atheist. It’s possible that the only customers I interact with are those who aren’t practicing their faith in the traditional way. I am sure that this must be the case with the customers who are Christians and Muslims, but I assume that this must also be the case with the customers who practice the other faiths. I was brought up Jewish, and it has been my experience that the orthodox Jews in Israel do not believe that the reform Jews in America are even jewish. This is something that I have seen firsthand. I do remember once having an observant Jewish customer who was quite uncomfortable with my ideas when they were made in her house. Because I had been suggested to her by a friend who was worried about her, she grudgingly arranged an appointment with me. I wasn’t recommending that she do anything that would be insulting to the way that she had her home set up in any way, shape, or form. The fact that she was seeking counsel from sources other than the Torah was the one thing that baffled her. Notwithstanding this, I’ve been requested to provide feedback on a kabbalah center that’s located in my region. In addition, I have had clients who wanted to avoid friction or confrontation with their born-again Christian spouse so they would meet with me while their husband was not at home. Obviously, I find this whole situation to be rather depressing and absurd. From my vantage point, regardless of the spiritual or religious views that one has, I am aware that the incorporation of feng shui principles into one’s life can only serve to bolster the activities that are carried out in the name of one’s faith. There are feng shui concepts that, if used, may make the experience of praying or meditating in a certain space in your house far more rewarding. I have even conducted reviews of a few other synagogues and churches. I believe that the majority of faiths teach that peace within the family unit is important, and that the human body is a temple that should be honored. This entails maintaining harmony in the household and looking after one’s health. The principles of feng shui serve simply to supplement these objectives. People of many faiths will attest to the unique experience they get when they are present in the sacred space that is associated with their faith. People go to these holy locations because they want to experience the sensation of purity, sanctity, and tranquility that is purposefully established in such places. If we are all able to agree that a place exudes holiness, then we must have some concept of, or direct experience of, what the antithesis of this sensation is like. We are able to acknowledge that other forces are at work to affect us temporarily, if not on a long-term basis as well if we are affected by spaces in the context of religion, spirituality, or inspiration. This is true even if these spaces have an effect on us in a religious, spiritual, or inspired context. Feng shui may handle this component, in addition to the more mundane worries that most people who practice feng shui have, which include money, health, and love. A room might seem holy or “unholy,” and feng shui can treat any of these feelings. I just want to go on record 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. If someone views feng shui as a “occult” practice because we are manipulating the forces of nature, then I want to say that the one god of the universe would not allow us to do so. Since nothing occurs apart from the will of God, we may deduce that feng shui is a component of that will. Finding treatments that would eradicate illnesses is a kind of interference with the workings of nature. My idea of God is rather abstract, and I like the acronym G.O.D., which stands for the principles of the cosmos that are responsible for creating, organizing, and destroying things. Living in harmony with the natural world is at the heart of feng shui. The world around us is a representation of God in its natural state. Since 1992, kartar diamond has considered feng shui to be a natural earth science and has been actively practicing it since that time.
