Selecting feng shui symbols has more to do with your connecting to
that item than just picking some object that has no REAL meaning to you,
Surprising! Here’s the break down…
From my experience as a feng shui consultant, the level that creates a lot of
confusion about feng shui applications is the symbolic level of feng shui.
Feng Shui Symbols have a rich, culturally specific history and meaning.
Most of us are familiar with the look of many feng shui items such as
Chinese coins tied with a red string, wind chimes, three legged toads,
gods of wealth, etc.
What is important to understand is that, in order for feng shui to work,
you do not necessarily have to apply traditional Chinese feng shui symbols.
You have to apply culturally specific symbols that resonate with you.
Applying feng shui correctly does not imply you have to apply the culturally
specific feng shui items that you may not understand or resonate with.
The reason symbolic level of feng shui works is because of the energy specific
symbols bring into one’s environment, as well as because of their connection
with the subconscious level of your mind. The stronger your connection with
these symbols, i.e. the more you like them, the more powerful they become for you.
