The real history behind Feng Shui is literally just how to not be as vulnerable to assassins and stubbed toes. The ‘woowoo’ stuff was added by whites in the US in the 1970s (like Yoga, meditation, and all other nonsense.
Pretending it is anything more than a way to order your thoughts and slow your heart rate; which reading and journaling both do with about the same scientifically measured effectiveness, is the woowoo part.
It’s not a tie to a spiritual world, or doesn’t raise nor lower your vibration or frequency or whatever nonsense is pushed by which ever nonsense ‘sect’ decides to use it to back their nonsense.
It’s useful in creating a relaxed environment for your body to not overreact and start it’s maintenance functions. And can be useful as a practice to control your thoughts into more useful patterns.
I dunno, in Japan at least there was a lot of woowoo as far back as 1000 years ago. The gardening version of Feng Shui that Japan adopted has fun stuff in it like ‘don’t put a rock in upside down, or it will curse you for seven generations’.

Gotcha, so your point is not that meditation is woowoo; your point is that expecting meditation to connect you to the spirit realm is woowoo.
Just so we’re clear, this is called transcendental meditation and I’m pretty sure it was created and started by an Indian man in India.
