Chandeliers
Create excellent Feng Shui if placed just inside or outside the home. They encourage good Chi to enter the house and they work just as well inside or outside the home. They are especially good when placed in the southwest, where the combination of fire (lights) and earth (crystal) brings wonderful romance and love luck to the members of the household. Try to activate the southwest of the whole house with a chandelier, rather than the southwest of a single room. The effect will be more powerful and will benefit the entire family.
Chen Trigram
This trigram symbolizes the dragon, thus a strong Yang line pushes upward below two broken Yin lines, which give way. Chen represents Spring, thunder, growth, and the eldest son, and is placed east on the Pa Kua.
Chi
The dragon’s cosmic breath and the key to good Feng Shui, it brings good fortune. The concept of Chi is central to the understanding and practice of Feng Shui. Chi is the word used to describe an intrinsic force or energy that is invisible to the eye but can nevertheless be felt and is very potent.
Chi Kung
A form of martial training that allows you to “feel your Chi,” its slow exercise movements are believed to enable practitioners effectively to move Chi energy within them. Such exercise is believed to help overcome serious illnesses.
Chien Trigram
The ultimate Yang trigram that signifies the patriarch. The first trigram in the I Ching. Made up of three unbroken lines, Chien is placed in the northwest quadrant of the Yang Pa Kua. Since this trigram symbolizes the patriarch the northwest is said to be the corner of any home that governs the luck of the male paternal.
Childlessness
Can sometimes be helped using Feng Shui. If you are having problems conceiving, suggest the man changes his sleeping location or direction. Use his Nien Yen direction, which will be based upon his personal Kua number.
Children
The manifestations of good descendants’ luck. Children represent the next generation and this is one of the eight aspirations addressed by Feng Shui practice. The west side of the house is the place to energize for ensuring descendants’ luck but the children of the house, especially the sons, should sleep in the east part of the house in rooms located in their personal auspicious locations, based on Compass Feng Shui.
Clothes
Affect the type of energies you attract. Clothes have a bearing on your luck. Wearing torn clothes is very inauspicious. It attracts poverty energy, which often translates into the most severe kind of ill-fortune. Wearing unflattering clothes has the same effect; as well as making you feel bad about yourself, it depletes your Yang energy and causes you to feel lethargic.
Coins
One of the more potent of symbolic Feng Shui tools. They represent wealth and are superb for activating Feng Shui for wealth. Authentic old Chinese coins can be used as Feng Shui coins. The square hole in the middle has Feng Shui meaning. The circle and square together represent heaven and earth. Three coins should be tied together with red string and hung on the inside of your front door to symbolize the money already inside your house. See also Cash Register.
Color
Amplifies the elements. Good color combinations bring good luck. Color therapy in Feng Shui is directly related to the concept of the five elements, each of which stands for a certain color or colors. These are summarized as:
Wood | browns and greens |
Fire | reds, yellows, and orange |
Metal | white, gold, silver, bronze, and chrome |
Earth | ocher and light yellow |
Water | blues, purple, and black |
Each color on its own is neither good nor bad. Combinations of colors cause good and bad luck and this is again based on the destructive and productive cycles of the elements.
Some special combinations that are excellent luck: vermilion with gold; dark rich purple with chrome or silver; black and white.
Good color combinations: two blues one green; two browns one red; two reds one yellow; two yellows one white; two whites one blue.
Unlucky color combinations: two blues one red; two reds one white; two whites one green; two greens one yellow; two yellows one blue.
Columns
In the home square, freestanding columns can cause severe Feng Shui problems. Their sharp edges can send out poisonous killing breath, which should be deflected and dissolved by placing plants against the edges. Alternatively, wrap mirrors around the columns. Columns should never be facing the main front door, either inside or outside, where they represent bad Feng Shui. In such a case, the door or the column should be moved.
