And so skeptics find it easier to criticize feng shui than validate it. An early and vocal dissenter, Master Joseph Yu , set out to expose feng shui as a fraud while studying for his masters in mathematics. During the process of unraveling the practice, however, Yu became engrossed and intrigued by feng shui. I began by digging into the ancient books to uncover feng shui's origins. While I did find superstition, I found that the practice is fundamentally based in logic.
Logic is the key.
In the Asian market, you are bound to be a failure if you don't incorporate superstitions into your practice of feng shui. When I came to Canada in 1986, I found that people were more broad-minded, so I could begin promoting the logical aspects of feng shui. No standardization exists for the practice of feng shui in either the eastern or western hemisphere. While various certification programs teach classes and online correspondence courses, no official curriculum connects the different schools and practices of feng shui. This lack of regulation allows misperceptions about feng shui and its eccentricities to take root and reflect poorly on the practice, says Moran, who has seen misperceptions plague the practice of feng shui in workplaces where businesspeople have heard distorted accounts and descriptions of the practice.
