WHEN you adjust your feng shui of your environment, aside from moving your furniture around, you will need to introduce new elements or catalysts that activate positive energy fields and neutralize negative ones. When you make these adjustments correctly, the changes in your physical environment set off a chain reaction that brings positive events into your life.
Common items that are used for feng shui adjustments include crystals, figurines, plants, fountains, coins, gongs, and lights. It is important to understand each item’s purpose. For instance, a citrine crystal can amplify your frequency for attracting abundance; a rose quartz can soothe your heart vibrations to release stress; and amethyst can heighten your intuition. Figures or animals that are universal symbols, such as the lion, are often used in feng shui. The king of the jungle elicits subconscious powers of courage offering strength and protection.
Ultimately, the most effective feng shui adjustment items are uniquely and lovingly created by masters or artisans. Such art is powerful indeed, and when you combine it with the power of your belief, understanding, desire, and inspiration, it activates positive reactions on multiple dimensions.
Many feng shui items today are mass-produced plastic replicas. More often than not, it is these replicas that most people use. When items are mass-produced, they lack the human touch and the energy of inspirational intention. People often do not even understand why they are using certain items.
Despite this fact, lesser quality feng shui figurines can still be effective on a psychological level working like a placebo. They serve as reminders that trigger subconscious levels of change. If you understand a feng shui item’s purpose, it can empower you and amplify the potential for transformation. The key point is that your mental power plays a vital role in the effectiveness of feng shui adjustments.
Even though a mass-produced feng shui item has the potential to create change, it will not be on the same level as a high quality feng shui item. The level of results from your feng shui adjustments depends in part on the quality of your feng shui items. Chi Art is an example of the highest quality feng shui item you can implement in your environment.
The Chi Art presented in this article is titled, "Sacred Bamboo Forest." The bamboo forest in the center of the painting encourages us to release stress by cultivating an open heart – like a hollow bamboo stem – and following the light at the end of a tunnel. Staying on this bamboo path of open heartedness moves us along towards the light of forgiveness, which brings us health and peace during times of darkness.
The trees at the bottom in groups of 3 and 4 promote scholarship, abundance, and personal growth. In the upper right and left corners of the painting are the sun and moon offering rays of mantra diagrams to release negative energies, promote business success, and accumulate wealth. Above, green ribbons grow from the sky like fantasy fortune from heaven. The red star configuration promotes energies of adoration and being doted upon.
As you gaze into this Chi Art, take a deep breath and visualize your journey through the bamboo forest. Exhale to release your day’s weariness and inhale this imagery of appreciation, realizing that all your dreams can come true.
