Charms and amulets have long been used to attract good feng shui. These particular items are believed to help balance energies (yin and yang), attract good fortune and boost one’s luck. They are placed in the right position or worn by the user in the belief that they will bring about favorable results.
Likewise, people try these lucky charms believing they have really nothing (except for the money used to purchase the items) to lose.
As we celebrate the Chinese New Year on February 8, Yin & Yang Shop Harmony resident feng shui expert Princess Lim Fernandez suggests these items that people can put in their home or office, or bring with them wherever they go to enhance their luck and attract good fortune.
Lucky Pouch for the Fire Monkey Year
This pouch, which contains a special star stone, will help absorb the negative energy throughout the year. Carrying this pouch is said to help boost one’s luck.
Hippo Guards
This specially designed piece is a strong and effective feng shui item in minimizing the effects of the “Robbery Star,” one of the bad stars of the year. Aside from its lucky properties, this handcrafted piece, which is made of quality black quartz crystal, makes for a stunning home or office decor.
Cosmic Tortoise
This ornament is filled with symbolisms that bring about luck in several aspects of life. The tortoise cradling a Crystal Ball stands for strengthening one’s foundation for stability, vulnerability, success and victory over one’s rivals. The Lo Shu diagram on the back of the tortoise is based on Chinese mythology that explains how the rivers were set in their right courses. The protective shell of the tortoise is symbolically linked with the shield and its defensive characteristics for protection and invulnerability to attacks. It is said that revolving the Crystal Ball daily improves business acumen and intelligence, and creates an invigorating ch’i (positive energy).
Fortune Tin Luk
Bring into your home this feng shui ornament, which is considered in ancient China to be one of the luckiest along with Pei Yau and Pik Che. Tin means heaven, while Luk symbolizes grace and abundance. Thus, a pair of Tin Luk brings grace and wealth from heaven.
Dragon Emperor Throne
A symbol of power and majesty, this ornament depicts nine dragons that have captured the “pearl of wisdom.” Representing the power of the dragons opens up an abundance of opportunities, greatness, excellence and prominence.
Pow Pow
White Jade Gourd for Safety Ome Pole Keychain
For those who travel frequently or are scheduled to travel several times this year, this amulet promotes road safety throughout the “chaotic” year of the Fire Monkey.
