Do Feng Shui Symbols Really Work?
If you're new to Feng Shui you must be wondering if the use of statue and figurines really work. How can something made of plaster or stone really protect me from harm, bring wealth, happiness etc? Think about it, the reason we choose to put any images and statues in our surroundings is because we relate to what it represents. Your surrounding reveals to us your emotional state. Thus what you feel is what you attract.
The Laughing Buddha for example expresses wealth though his expression of joy and ease. He sits in a relaxed position as if all his wealth came from just being in a happy state. By bringing his statue into your surroundings you too become relax and are reminded to be joyous. It is our moment of happiness that things tend to fall into place.
One day I was feeling a bit sad because I was living off of unemployment. I was pretty much penny pinching and was aware I just had enough to pay rent and barely eat. Then I just said to myself who cares I need to eat something and might as well eat well. So I went to your local Lunardi's grocery store,as I walked in I saw a very peaceful statue of the Laughing Buddha that seemed to be calling me. I was so attracted to it that I had to buy him. Funny thing I wanted the statue so badly that as I stood in line I realize I forgot my groceries! So I got out of line wandered around for a bit, and finally got back in the same line. As they were announcing something on the intercom, another cashier was free so I ditched my line for the shorter one. Next thing you know, the cash register stand I was at was blinking. I was a winner of a weeks worth of groceries! I was so happy I forgot I bought the Laughing Buddha. Once I came to realize what I had done I looked at the statue and said “eh what about my six lotto numbers I've been asking for since I was 17" But as I predicted…no answer…yet. :)
Another friend of mine is very successful with the ladies. Later on I found out that he has a statue of Venus he prizes. That just shows you his emotional state is very loving and seductive. He is quite the irresistible chap.
My point is when you are drawn to a particular symbol what ever symbolic meaning it possesses, is the quality or emotional state you inherit. If you feel skeptical about any symbols don't get it since it just means you don't really understand its symbol. Instead, if you do, you will probably feel annoyed you bought it on the first place. So every time you do look at it, instead of feeling loved and protected you feel the negative state of emotions which is disappointment, lied to thus you get more of that everywhere you go. Same is true depending on who it comes from. If it comes from someone you love, every time you look at it you will feel that person's love. If it's a gift from someone who wants you to love them but you don't feel the same, you instead will feel the burden of having to love them, which will eventually stifle your love life.
Any symbols of distress like vicious animals will also bring distress to your life. For instance, lions, though are powerful may give the individual a fighting and predatorial spirit. If the person himself is untamed, trouble with the law is probable. If the person is in controlled it will remind him to chase after his goals relentlessly. Furthermore, images of nudity and temptation for married people, unfortunately, invites third parties into their lives, so avoid it if you want a monogamous relationship.
So look around. Does your surrounding put you at a sense of ease? Does it feel expansive? Are the emotional symbols positive? If not re-arrange and add beautiful artwork. Let the flow help you grow.The Feng Shui symbols I chose to sell on my website has a great demand by the public. Usually it's because my audience understands what the symbols means through studying Taoist secrets or Feng Shui courses. But again, any symbols you find and have an affinity to will work regardless of what religious and cultural background you have. But remember they have to be positive symbols.
