Feng Shui is basically Law of Attraction with extra steps. "I feel slightly grumpier in the morning because my bed's too close to the wall and it's claustrophobic, there goes my financial success" lol
Ngl though, it does actually make you feel better (if you don't buy into all the woowoo BS)
I love this one guy's "Don't be a weiner" series on youtube, he's super funny and actually has really solid quick tips on how to minmax shitty apartments lol
ooh I see this guy on rednote all the time, fun to watch.
The real history behind Feng Shui is literally just how to not be as vulnerable to assassins and stubbed toes. The 'woowoo' stuff was added by whites in the US in the 1970s (like Yoga, meditation, and all other nonsense.
Are you suggesting that Yoga is "woowoo?"
It's a fucking excellent physical workout & emotionally therapeutic when you find the right teachers. And there are plenty of excellent teachers.
There's absolutely a woowoo side to yoga.
Sure, and it as a practice was pretty much wholesale created around the same time as Monty Python and lasers. It's not an ancient Indian secret of the gurus on how to better prepare your body to serve the universe and aide your recinarnation.
It's a moderate workout with mild scientific evidence that it is safe when practiced and learned slowly over a long time. The same as crossfit.
I dunno, in Japan at least there was a lot of woowoo as far back as 1000 years ago. The gardening version of Feng Shui that Japan adopted has fun stuff in it like ‘don’t put a rock in upside down, or it will curse you for seven generations’.
How do you identify the top of a rock?
The part that isn't dirty
edit wait that was the wrong gif you know what
there we go
Are you suggesting meditation is 'woowoo'?
Pretending it is anything more than a way to order your thoughts and slow your heart rate; which reading and journaling both do with about the same scientifically measured effectiveness, is the woowoo part.
It's not a tie to a spiritual world, or doesn't raise nor lower your vibration or frequency or whatever nonsense is pushed by which ever nonsense 'sect' decides to use it to back their nonsense.
It's useful in creating a relaxed environment for your body to not overreact and start it's maintenance functions. And can be useful as a practice to control your thoughts into more useful patterns.
Gotcha, so your point is not that meditation is woowoo; your point is that expecting meditation to connect you to the spirit realm is woowoo.
Just so we're clear, this is called transcendental meditation and I'm pretty sure it was created and started by an Indian man in India.
Edit: ooh, didn't like that one did ya? You've earned your tag.
