If so, you might not have been practicing Feng Shui. This is the art of arranging things around a house or office or living space in a way that balances the life energies so occupants can enjoy good health and fortune.
In the history of China, the elements water and wind are associated with good health and prosperity. This is why Chinese believe that Feng Shui brings in good fortune since Feng means water and Shui means wind.
When we look into the real meaning and including the history of Feng Shui, we can probably grasps why Chinese relate it to good fortune. Following the following tips can be helpful if one is to allow the free flow of positive energies into ones home or office:
The main tools used for analysis are the compass and the Ba-Gua. The Ba-Gua is an octagonal grid containing the symbol Ii Ching and is ancient tool of the Chinese, although these days, it is often used as home decor. Knowing your home's Ba-Gua lets you understand the different connections between certain Feng Shui points and their effect on your life.
Another great tool used is the mirror. Mirrors are regarded by Chinese as the aspirin of Feng Shui. Properly placing your mirrors in your home shifts the flow of energy and makes it more positive. For example, it is not advisable to put a mirror behind a bed.
Clocks are another tool because they can attract positive energy. Contrary to the popular belief that clocks are bad Feng Shui, it actually is the other way around.
It is not advisable to put a clock inside your bedroom since that place is where you will relax and the only clock that you should be concerned with is your own body clock. However, we put clocks in our bedrooms like alarm clocks for practicality.
Natural crystals are also very popular because of their very characteristics- solid, bright, transparent and naturally inclined to draw energy from the earth. There are many types of natural crystals, including quartz, celestite and obsidian and each brings a different type of good luck or fortune.
Pairing crystals with ceramic rooster is also a great idea since both can bring good vibes in your house and attract wealth for your home and your business.
