Why Serious Feng Shui CAN Be Helpful to our Businesses
Today, I read ZhiLuan's excellent WA blog post: "Feng Shui and Success"(https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/zhiluan/blog/feng-shui-and-s...) and I felt like sharing some additional information that can help us understand why serious Feng Shui can actually be helpful to our businesses.

Why should you listen to me about this?
In addition to everything else I have done in my life (all the laundries, grocery shopping, cooking, etc... ;-) ), I was also recently trained as an electrician (I knew it would be fun!) and took an extra course about natural and man-made electromagnetic fields and their influence on the well-being of humans, animals and plants.
The scientific knowledge I came across in these courses have shaped my current understanding of the world we live in, including my understanding of Feng Shui and how it can actually help our businesses.

I do believe that there are "logical" explanations to Feng Shui...
It's just that we humans are not evolved enough to understand them... because they are out of our realm of visual perception...
Let me explain...
Let's have a look at the electromagnetic radiation spectrum...
It goes from a frequency of aroudn 3 HZ up to a frequency of more than 3000THz (for X rays, Gamma Rays and Cosmic Rays) (a THZ is 1 000 000 GHZ). That's a HUGE spectrum!!!
Within that spectrum, humans can only see frequencies from around 385 THZ to 750 THZ. That's a TINY part of the elecromagnetic spectrum.
Humans CANNOT SEE frequencies from 1 HZ to around 380 THZ, nor frequencies from around 755 THZ to 3000 THZ and above...
Well, I mean... most humans... some people are reported to say that they see things that others don"t see... I am not saying they are telling the truth or not... I am saying that given these numbers, why would I be surprised?
And some animals have also been reported to see things that we don't (especially in the dark) and feel things that we don't (like an upcoming earthquake or tsunami).

I LOVE to "reconcile" Western modern knowledge and ancient knowledge.
I would say that Feng Shui is a way to take into consideration the invisible part of the electromagnetic radiation spectrum to our advantage, for our private lives AND our businesses. :-)
My understanding now is that Western "science" is still VERY young and limited in comparison to traditional knowledge developed for thousands of years in traditional cultures all around the world.
I think this is so important to understand for most Westerners... And that's why I decided to write a blog post about it here today... Thank you, ZhiLuan for giving me this idea!
Have a beautiful and harmonious day!
To our Success,
Nathalie

I am so into this stuff, electromagnetic, and etc. I can relate to the frequency graph, but not how it relates to feng shui. Do you have a short explanation, or perhaps there is more in one of your posts? I'll take a look at your link. Congrats on making the 50.
Thanks a lot, Donna. :-) In short, everything has an electromagnetic frequency, beyond what we can see. To me Feng Shui is a way to take these other invisible electromagnetic frequencies and their influence on our lives and business.
:-)

Hi Nathalie, I like your approach modern science and ancient knowledge. Interesting topic - will you write another blog and explain how concretely Feng Shui is good for us?
Thanks!
Vincent
Hi Vincent,
Thanks a lot for your suggestion. I am not planning to do that, no. But I am pretty sure ZhiLuan would love to as this is more his area of expertise than mine. You could ask him?
Did you read his blog post? Feng Shui and Sucess Nathalie
This is very interesting. Thanks for sharing ZhiLuan's post.
And congrats on your reaching the Top 50!!! This is amazing!!
Cheers Nathalie,
Vincent
Thanks Nathalie!
I always appreciate learning that the wisdom of the ages and newer scientific discoveries don’t have to be mutually exclusive!
There’s no such thing as too much wisdom.
Have a wonderful day.
KyleAnn
My pleasure, KyleAnn. :-) This is only my vision of things. :-)
Have a wonderful day too,
Nathalie
Oh my gosh! I am overwhelmed with your breadth and depth of knowledge you have in that head of yours! Looking forward to the next "Nathalie is a genius" post!!
Yay Us!! 🌟

Hi Nathalie.
Thank you for your thoughtful post.
Science has become bastardised today. Consensus forms "facts"—see Darwinian evolution—and objectivity is derided as a patriarchal device to subject... (well, the thinking is so muddled that it hard to follow. Suffice it to say, that amongst certain Canadian and American "intellectuals", arctic glaciers are being "feminised" to counteract the "centuries of male oppression" – https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/0309132515623368).
When science equates to empirical observation —> development of a hypothesis —> experiment and testing of the hypothesis —> synthesis and publication of a theory, then it is *matchless* as a tool of human investigation and understanding of the physical world. On the other hand, nowadays it is often a superstition to bolster beliefs held a priori.
Above and beyond traditional beliefs and *proper* science, the fundamental requirement in any human is to have an open mind.
A closed mind cannot learn anything.
I know very little about Feng Shui, I don't know if it has been scientifically studied? If so, and you provide the links, I'd be fascinated to read the studies.
Isaac Asimov said (something like): "Assumptions are your windows into the world. Every once in a while, scrub them, or the light won't come in".
Have a great day, and indeed, to our success!
Regards,
PS.
You don't have a "Follow me on" section? You could link to your website(s) and YouTube channel there.
Thanks a lot for your response, Tayo! 😊
I suggest you ask ZhiLuan about scientific studies of Feng Shui. I'm sure he knows a lot more about the subject than I do.
I did not know this quote from Isaac Asimov. He was, with Ray Bradbury, my favorite author when I was a young teenager... I still remember memorising one of the starting sentences of one of his books and reusing it in my dissertations... I know, I know... this was plagiarism... but I did not know the concept back then and just loved how this sentence sounded. 😊
Thank you for sharing it with me.
Nathalie
I do have one on my WA profile. It's at the bottom right corner, under my posts...
Thank you for asking, Tayo. 😊
Nathalie
"I know... this was plagiarism"
Only if you did not attribute it.
"I do have one on my WA profile"
I keep thinking that these blog posts will have the section bottom right like on the profile page! Sheesh. 😥
Wow, your https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/megawealthy9 site is advanced! It's a great-looking site. I've reviewed several websites as part of WA's pay-it-forward programme, and I must say that yours is the best i've seen thus far.
Congratulations. 😊👌
Indeed, Tayo... I did not attribute it... mea culpa... 😊
Thank you so much for your kind words about my site. I am very happy with the content and look forward to the time when I can upgrade my theme to a better looking one... I also have a great interview I still need to type up, edit and publish...
I have to say that I have not been spending a lot of time on my site lately... At the moment, I am focusing on my public speaking engagement for this coming Sunday... My video on YouTube was kind of a preparation for it...
Thanks again! 😊
Nathalie
Thanks, Nathalie, the failure and bias of Western medicine to only things limited to time and space is a bug that is eating it raw. Western medicine and how it is practised is treating symptoms and not causes. Yes, mankind is more than what we can see, so those who limit their understanding to such still have a long way to go. No one bothers to study the reason why animals move away from the mountains before eruptions etc. We are still very far away. But the good news is that these so-called 'esoteric studies' are available for individuals who want to be truly learned.
The fact that you are intellectually so well rounded. When I just about think I have you figured out you pop a new you into the mix.
My brain is scrambling to keep up.
Barry
Hahaha!! Thank you for explaining, Barry! :-) There is so much more about me than anything I have shared so far here on WA! :-)
And I'm sure this is true for everyone else here! We are so much more than what we let shine through our presence on this wonderful platform.
Nathalie
Here is what you might want to consider. Humans see a certain frequency spectrum because this is how they evolved due to the only source of light, which is the Sun. The Sun emits with strong maximum in this frequency window which you mentioned. This is the western knowledge that has been accumulated from the time of Greeks, so it is not as young as you say.
Thank you, Jovo. :-) I meant the fact that we can actually measure these frequencies in Hz with measuring instruments... and that a lot of westerners only believe what they can see... that's pretty recent...
My point was supposed to be more on why we see what we see. So we see what is given and this is the energy from the Sun. This is why humans evolved so that we have receptors in eyes for such wavelengths (or frequencies). The amount of energy from other frequencies coming from the source (the Sun) is simply too small to be observed by a naked eye, the graph below will show you this.
Eastern knowledge was more intuitive because it was not scientific. By the way, I am a theoretical physicist so naturally I trust science and how it works.
I see, Jovo... ;-) Thank you for sharing.
I think my point was that science is very limited to "prove" that things exist or not...
To me, science is "just" a series of theories to try to explain reality...
One day people follow one theory, and the next day another one...
I believe that true science is the type that is always asking questions and always saying maybe...
I consider myself a true scientist... I believe something until I have a better theory to believe...
But even so, I still accept the fact that this is just a theory... I know that I know nothing... :-)
Sorry to contradict you, but you cannot be more wrong.
After more than 30 years working in exact science, I can tell you with full confidence that there is not a single physical law that has ever been shown as wrong or ruined.
Science and theory are totally different things and should not be mixed. Scientific laws are laws because they cannot be changed. They can be upgraded, broadened and made more general, but they can never be ruined or proven to be wrong.
Science is indeed about asking questions, but there is no maybe. There are facts/laws and there are theories. Scientists can establish theories but those are not laws until they are confirmed in practice in thousands of independent checks.
The graph I showed you is a fact about solar radiation, there is nothing to guess or misinterpret. This is not a theory. This is why we see the world, we did not need receptors for other wavelengths.
Did you think about the concept of colors? There are no colors, this is all about electrons in the things around emitting the light received from a light source, most of the time this is the Sun. As we say in my native, "in the dark all cats are gray". The meaning is, without the Sun there would be no colors.
As for "I know that I know nothing", if the great thinker Plato was able to say such a thing then you can as well.
Hi Jovo,
Interesting to see how you think that you are right and that I could not be more wrong.
Then I am going to make you feel good and say that indeed you are right and I am wrong.
And I shall continue to believe what I believe because I have not been convinced otherwise. I do agree with you about the light and the colors. That is our current state of knowledge. But I still believe that "modern science" is just about evolving theories. :-)
That being said, thank you for engaging with me in this dialogue. :-)
Nathalie
It appears you are getting angry. When I say you are wrong this is only related to the specific thing as I explained, and I mean the definition of science and science laws from one side vs theories from the other side. No more no less. Discussing things means being specific in arguments, I was trying to be. It is about logic and not about feeling good, I am not a child and I do not need this.
If you are willing to accept facts, let me know what you find problematic in what I was saying. Just be specific.
What I was saying about light is the same any extraterrestrial would tell you, the light is the same everywhere and for everyone. This is not the issue of modern science, there is a physical reality. Physical laws would operate even if we were not around. This is not a matter of interpretation.
No, modern science is about research and upgrading our knowledge and establishing fundamental laws which are then the basis for further expansion of knowledge.
I am not getting angry, Jovo. :-) Thank you for asking.
I just find it difficult to have a discussion with someone who believes they are right and have closed their mind to other possibilities... :-)
I do admire how you are reaching out and sharing your beliefs with me with passion.
I guess I do feel frustrated when someone speaks about absolute truth about anything. I believe that we perceive only part of the world of reality so any explanation we can come up with as humans is completely limited by our inherent human limitations... :-) Reality is so much more than what we can perceive and comprehend. How could we claim to know the truth about anything?
Again, I do admire your trying to understand my point of view, Jovo. :-)
Nathalie
OK, it is great to hear that we are good, it would be bad otherwise.
The point is that I do not believe in anything. So do not get frustrated, I am totally on the level described by that Plato's sentence.
Yes, we are always able to perceive only the part of the reality, and we formulate this in laws that are undeniable and serve as a fundament for next steps. When they send a spacecraft to Mars, it is not theory than land it where they want, those fundamental laws are behind it, and a bit of engineering.
When Einstein came, nothing was changed in the old Netwon mechanics, it was just upgraded. But the mentioned spacecraft is still guided by Newton laws and very little of Einstein law's (because they are not needed there), this is the point of my claim that laws cannot be ruined.
Humans are limited, but not completely limited, this is what gives sense to anything we do. Steps in getting knowledge are small, but those are still steps.
True, we cannot know the absolute truth about anything, but we know a part of the truth that is undeniable, presented in scientific laws. There is no absolute truth, this would be the end of everything. Great for some, it gives them some purpose for living (I am not in the group).
Remember where we started, it was about light. Science explains you why we see in this particular window only. Now, if you would meet an extraterrestrial who evolved in the vicinity of a different star, you might expect him/her to see things around in a different light. But the truth is on both sides, just the matter of evolution. This also tells you that it is unlikely that some people can "see" things in different wavelenghts, there was no need to develop receptors for such waves, the energy they bring is thousands of times lower level.
Yes, Jovo. We are good. :-)
I feel more at ease now that I know that we both have an open mind. :-)
That's the type of conversation I would love to have in person.
Interestingly enough, I'm not too much of the online conversation type. I hope we get to meet one day and continue this discussion around a good cup of tea. :-)
Have a beautiful evening,
Nathalie
Well we are a sprit that are having a human experience. And if you spend time in meditation and get your third eye open we can see into to higher self

Wow, Nathalie! This is beautiful. Very inspiring in thinking more of Feng Shui and others. I'm kind tied up with some writing project these days. When having time, I may write something more around this topic. Thank you so much!
Excellent, ZhilLuan! :-) As you can read from other people's comments, there is interest to learn more about this topic within the WA community. :-)
