Feng Shui Products

Various meanings are attached to unique feng shui products; they are not simply an expression of personal taste, but rather tools that influence and help to the creation of a positive energy flow in one's home, office or life.

Here are some examples of feng shui products that can make the difference in enhancing a rewarding environment.

Let's start with the Ba-Gua chart in the form of a mirror or crystal. Shaped octagonally, such feng shui products are extremely versatile in usage specificity.

Some people use them for attracting good fortune, getting married, accumulating knowledge or solving family problems. Moreover, the use of the feng shui crystals in alternative therapies is also well known for the very good healing effects.

Then, the sound of a bamboo flute is known to go for infinity; this is a very powerful symbol of strength and endurance. More popular than the bamboo flute, wind chimes represent the feng shui products best known to Westerners. The sound made by the chimes is considered to be yin in nature and it triggers a very relaxing effect; considered ideal for gardens, wind chimes create and give away tranquility.

Candles are favorite feng shui products that allow the accomplishment of the yang (light) and yin (shadow) harmony in a variety of ways.

Candles can be used in different corners of the rooms, in offices, hallways, bathrooms and even kitchens for the enhancement of a positive mood and the creation of a relaxed atmosphere. Candles are well complemented by the use of other feng shui products such as incense sticks.

Thus, fragrance becomes one major way of adjusting energy in a certain environment. Before the presently used feng shui products, simple sandalwood incense was the perfect fragrance to be encountered in taoist and Buddhist temples in the Far East.

According to the feng shui custom, incense is burnt at the exterior of any entrance to attract positive chi, but indoor applications are also possible as a means of eliminating negative energies.

Though we are far from finishing the list of feng shui products, we cannot conclude without mentioning the space clearing ritual bell.

Part of a Buddhist ritual, the sound of the bell has such a high vibration that evil spirits cannot stand it and the negative energies are dissipated when rung. These feng shui products that have entered the Western world too, are treated with respect and even veneration in their mother country, China. Such values should also be primordial for the feng shui practitioner everywhere else.
