Feng-Shui, The Chinese Art of Geomancy



It is belived that with the proper orientation of one’s house or business premises, one is able to harmonize with nature and relate to the physical surrounding favorably to attract desirable cosmological influences. That is what I learned as a licensed real estate broker in the nineties. As part of the tools of trade, I underwent a basic orientation of Feng-Shui under a Japanese Geomancer. A few Filipinos believe in the art of geomancy and it helps if I had a little knowledge on the matter. I’ve forgotten all about Feng-shui since I stopped my real estate career (I will talk about this in another entry). Besides, I’m not Chinese and feng-shui shouldn’t rule my life or dictate my dream home.

Hi Noemi. I believe it can be a helpful guide and follow your instincts if what it said made sense to you. From personal experience, surprisingly, some of our house rules indeed made sense later after learning about Feng Shui.

No I don’t believe in Feng-Shui and I am a bit surprised to see how many Filipinos (not only the Tsinoy) are superstitious.

@janette- i think some of the feng-shui are practical measures.

@sidney-true, that’s why I had to learn about it in order to sell properties
