Feng shui today

Today, feng shui is practiced not only by the Chinese, but also 

by Westerners. However, with the passage of time and feng 

shui's popularization in the West, much of the knowledge 

behind it has been lost in translation, not paid proper attention 

to, frowned upon, or scorned.

Robert T. Carroll sums up what feng shui today has become:

"... feng shui has become an aspect of interior decorating in the 

Western world and alleged masters of feng shui now hire 

themselves out for hefty sums to tell people such as Donald 

Trump which way his doors and other things should hang. 

Feng shui has also become another New Age "energy" scam 

with arrays of metaphysical products ... offered for sale to help 

you improve your health, maximize your potential, and guarantee 

fulfillment of some fortune cookie philosophy."[45]

Others have noted how, when feng shui is not applied properly, 

or rather, without common sense, it can even harm the environment, 

such as was the case of people planting "lucky bamboo" in 

ecosystems that could not handle them.[46] Still others are 

simply skeptical.

Nevertheless, even modern feng shui is not always looked at as 

a superstitious scam. Many people[who?] believe it is important 

and very helpful in living a prosperous and healthy life either 

avoiding or blocking negative energies that might otherwise have 

bad effects. Many of the higher-level forms of feng shui are not 

so easily practiced without either connections, or a certain amount 

of wealth because the hiring of an expert, the great altering of 

architecture or design, and the moving from place to place that 

is sometimes necessary requires a lot of money. Because of this, 

some people of the lower classes lose faith in feng shui, saying 

that it is only a game for the wealthy.[47] Others, however, 

practice less expensive forms of Feng Shui, including hanging 

special (but cheap) mirrors, forks, or woks in doorways to 

deflect negative energy.[48]

Even today feng shui is so important to some people[who?] that 

they use it for healing purposes, separate from western medical 

practice, in addition to using it to guide their businesses and 

create a peaceful atmosphere in their homes.[49] In 2005, even 

Disney acknowledged feng shui as an important part of Chinese 

culture by shifting the main gate to Hong Kong Disneyland by 

twelve degrees in their building plans, among many other actions 

suggested by the master planner of architecture and design at 

Walt Disney Imagineering, Wing Chao, in an effort to incorporate 

local culture into the theme park.
