A Feng Shui Use for Kitz Air Purifier

I saw an interesting contraption at the local vet shop the other day while buying my cat's food. The pet food aisle in the supermarket and vet shops can usually startle anyone out of nasal congestion. So this bubbling air purifier on the counter drew my attention straight away and the air quality was surprisingly pleasant.

Those practicing Xuan Kong Fei Xing (Flying Star) will know the challenge of finding ways to activate a water star in spaces where water features are impractical. You might want to consider this as a viable option especially in apartments and offices. The lid has holes so the bubbling water has contact with the air. I have no doubt that it will activate the water star wherever it is placed. From a Feng Shui point of view, it's too yang for a bedroom while sleeping though there should be no problem to place it there during waking hours provided the water star in the bedroom is beneficial.

Traditional / Classical Feng Shui Outdated?

I’ve been thinking (yes I do that sometimes): Is feng shui still relevant in our modern world? I mean “Traditional” or “Classical” Feng Shui sounds really ancient and actually, it is, if you consider that the often quoted Book of Burial dates back to approx. 300AD!

Just off the top of my head I can think of some adaptations that need to be made in the modern context. Stoves being classified as fire element for instance. In ancient China, the fire of the kitchen stove was literally a fire, hence strong fire element. Care had to be taken in placing the stove. Our electrical stoves of today can hardly be regarded as strong fire element so clearly we can dispense with the obsession about where to place it and in which direction.

High rise buildings, security complexes, gated villages, apartment blocks and ensuite toilets were not familiar to Chinese masters of old. It also used to obvious where the compass or luo pan reading should be taken in those days because it was very clear which way the house was facing. These days, many modern homes have more than one side which could qualify as the “facing.” That makes things a little more complicated.

Common sense dictates that some adaptations should be made to suit our modern environment. But it makes no sense to throw the baby out with the bathwater by declaring that traditional feng shui is outdated due to the age of Chinese Feng Shui Classics.
