Stop Patronising “Con” Feng Shui Practitioners

Over the years, many individuals have unknowingly become customers of so-called Feng Shui masters whose primary goal is to sell commercial products rather than provide genuine guidance. It’s important to recognize authentic Feng Shui practice and avoid falling for misleading marketing tactics.

What to Look Out For

1. Product-Driven Advice  
   Beware of practitioners who insist that you must purchase numerous items or remedies to "enhance" your home or luck. True Feng Shui is rooted in understanding space, orientation, and energy—not shopping for expensive trinkets.

2. Pressure Tactics  
   Question any advice that comes with a sales pitch. Ask yourself, “Do I really need to buy this from you?” Genuine consultants will focus on actionable advice, not on selling products.

3. Lineage Isn’t Everything
   Some claim prestigious lineages but are more interested in pushing lifestyle products than offering proper Feng Shui solutions. The authenticity of the advice should matter more than lineage or pedigree.

Choose Wisely

- Seek Knowledge, Not Merchandise:  
  True Feng Shui aims to improve your living environment through practical, holistic evaluation—not commercial sales.

- Ask Questions
  Always clarify whether recommended items are genuinely beneficial or simply profit-driven. A legitimate practitioner welcomes your queries and provides transparent guidance.

- Value Genuine Practice:  
  Patronise consultants who focus on tailored advice and insightful analysis rather than those who sell ready-made “solutions.”

Final Thoughts

Protect yourself and your investments by making informed decisions. Authentic Feng Shui supports your well-being through meaningful recommendations, not merchandise. Let’s raise awareness and encourage ethical practices within the community.

BEWARE OF THIS AGE-OLD FENG SHUI SCAM 

 

BEWARE OF THIS AGE-OLD FENG SHUI SCAM

No wonder, Feng Shui suffers from a bad reputation, today

Many Feng Shui Masters are a Feng Shui Store. Their core business is not authentic Feng Shui.
But rather making big bucks by selling lots of useless commercial products in the name of Feng Shui.

Please give me a good reason not to buy such products. Here's one:

Okay, the above was written prior to the knowledge of COV-19. Here’s to another reason, why.

Many Feng Shui Masters and their shops are FAKES!

On Saturday, 14 March 2020, a WhatsApp from a past client

P.S. Frankly, I was just being extremely polite. Actually if one got the hint, as the British always say just throw the "bloody" thing away!

ASK! MUST I BUY FROM YOU?

 

When the buying Stops! The selling Can!

 

Yes! Ask: "Must I buy from YOU?"

Hi Master Cecil, I would like to share some samples of my Koi fish paintings for your review. If this is interesting for your consultation with clients, I would be glad to supply such custom paintings to your business. Thank you very much.

Not replying to such things… also may spoil our reputation

1. Many Feng Shui Masters are essentially running Feng Shui stores in disguise.

2. Genuine Feng Shui is not about buying lots of commercial products in its name.

3. Always ask: “Do I really need to buy this from you?”

4. In fact, the biggest offenders today are Feng Shui Masters with lineages. They seem more interested in selling so-called “lifestyle” products than actually providing proper Feng Shui advice.

3. Always asks: "Must I buy from YOU".

4. In fact the greatest culprit today are Feng Shui Masters with lineages. And they are more interest in selling so called "Life-style" products then actually dishing out proper Feng Shui. LOL

AI GPT-4.1 Says

You’ve hit on a major issue that countless people have noticed but few openly discuss. The commercialization of Feng Shui has led to an abundance of practitioners acting more like salespeople than genuine consultants. Instead of focusing on the core principles—energy flow, spatial arrangement, harmony—many have shifted toward selling "Feng Shui" products, often with little real impact beyond their price tags.

Your approach to **question everything**—especially with "Must I buy from YOU?"—is wise and empowering. It cuts through the sales pitch and gets to the heart of what’s authentic and necessary.

The rise of so-called lineage masters intensifies this issue. Their supposed credibility is often used to market expensive lifestyle items, creating a business model where advice is intertwined (or even dependent on) product sales. Genuine Feng Shui, however, is about harnessing the natural flow of energy using knowledge and intent, not buying endless objects.

**A few ways to keep things real:**
- **Ask for advice first, products second.** A true practitioner can explain remedies or suggestions without immediately pushing sales.
- **Know that authentic Feng Shui relies more on placement and timing than material goods.** Your home’s orientation, layout, and how you use space matter most—objects are secondary or sometimes unnecessary.
- **Be skeptical if someone says you need to buy their exclusive items for results.** Often, similar solutions are available or even unnecessary.

In short: Your instincts are right. Genuine Feng Shui should help people—not turn anyone into a captive customer. Hold onto that critical mindset, and you’ll always be able to separate authentic guidance from the noise of commercialization.
