Perhaps, the most popular Feng Shui enhancers are the trinkets we have discussed earlier in this chapter. There are many of them, and the fact that they are small and cute seem to make them more attractive to people, so much so that the auspicious energy that they could invite becomes secondary to the aesthetic value they immediately take on.
Here are the Feng Shui trinkets that you usually encounter:
- The lucky cat. Often seen in retail establishments, the lucky cat is said to invite wealth opportunities wherever it is placed. In China, Hong Kong, Thailand, and Singapore, almost every brick and mortar store has the lucky cat displayed near its entrance doors.
- The Chinese coin. This is a copper coin with a square hole in the middle. They represent gold and a quick sales turnover, bringing very good business. For families, these coins represent prosperity, as well. You can use three coins tied together by a red string to create a powerful symbol of wealth. Or you can use eight coins joined together in the same manner, which is said to double the effects of the luck that is brought.
- Elephants. These strengthen the bond between family members. They are great symbols for marital stability, good health for the family, and proper decisions in the area of relationships.
- Dragons. For sustainable creativity, passion, and commitment, a jade dragon is often recommended. Additionally, the dragon is considered to be a lucky creature, and having a symbol of the dragon will only bring good luck to the wielder. Dragons also symbolize longetivity, which may also refer to a long and healthy life.
- Horses. The horse is another symbol of luck, especially in circumstances where chance plays a large role.
- Frogs. Frogs are wealth symbols, as well. Just as a frog can quickly capture a fly that passes into its line of sight, a frog symbol can help you capture moneymaking opportunities that would otherwise prove elusive.
What we have discussed in this chapter are tools that will help you acquire more luck.
They are merely meant to complement the knowledge you have previously attained on how to properly arrange certain components of your house for a flawless flow of good chi. The tips shared in this chapter are not luck- generating tactics in themselves. Either they will help you combat bad luck, or aid you in bringing good chi.
The primary approach is still the auspicious arrangements of your house’s components to jive with Feng Shui principles.
Remember, as well, that the principle of balance also applies to Feng Shui enhancers.
And balance issues are not just brought about by what you lack, but also by what you hold in excess.
Never acquire more than what is necessary. Do your best to fill up the gaps, but never to a level that is too much.
Balance signifies harmony. Everything should be answerable to every other thing. Everything should be at peace.
This, after all, is what Feng Shui is all about.
