Feng Shui Symbols

Colors, elements and symbols play a very important role in Traditional Feng Shui. Chinese symbols, such as wind chimes, three-legged toads and tortoises, are vital tools that help achieve harmony and balance inside the home. Such symbols invite enlightenment and a good environmental aura.

It is important that the symbols used during the process are highly sentimental; doesn’t really matter if they are traditional Chinese symbols. Not all people can afford statues and fountains. Or in some cases, using plants or animals for Feng Shui is not possible due to home-rental agreement issues. Symbolisms can be simple candles, photographs, or even furniture and decor; as long as they portray personal value. Symbols that have stronger association or a certain bond with a person work better and are more effective and compelling. Although this is so, the positioning and certain number of symbols placed in a home is still important and needs to be highly considered.

There are a lot of things that people would want to change in their lives; aspects that we may want to amend, or in Feng Shui terms, cure. Each of these facets uses different symbols to attract positive energy flow. In example, in terms of good luck and protection, traditional Feng Shui uses the symbols dragon, tortoise and a mystic knot. It is said that these symbols will bring you not only protection but also good fortune and a full life. Whether these symbols are on something you wear like a necklace or a home décor like a figurine, it’s completely up to you.

The symbol dragon does not only work in the aspect of protection and luck, but also, when correlated with a phoenix symbol, cures Love and Relationship dilemmas. Ever heard of the saying “it takes two to tango”? Well in Feng Shui, it is said that the Love aspect is best with partnered symbols. It is because an individual item may signify a lonely unmarried or solitary life. So if you are having Love issues, use paired symbols; mandarin ducks, matching candles, or even a crystal lotus that denotes romance.

As with problems with Wealth and Prosperity, symbols such as a gold Arowana, a Koi fish, Chinese coins and three-legged toads are very effective. A lot of people, especially with the economic crisis this country is experiencing right now, are hoping for financial stability. Traditionally, live bamboo plants or water fountains that are placed in certain areas of the house also invite money opportunities.

Feng Shui symbols don’t necessarily need to be conventional Chinese illustrations or images. In the modern days, people use similar representations other than traditional Chinese figurines or symbols. As long as the symbols used attract a certain energy that allows good emotional response, they can be used in the process. And since the mastery of Feng Shui works based on intentions and objectives, the use of substitute symbols, such as personal belongings and or photographs, can also attract positive energy flow as long as it is an object that one can relate to. This is an advantage to people of different cultures, especially those that are not comfortable using traditional Chinese objects.

can a red footed baby tortoise and a baby bearded dragon live together?

i got a baby red footed tortoise and at first i had it in with my brother 4 year old herman tortoise but then he said it might be to cold for it should i put it in my vovarium with my lizard wich is a bearded drangon but i dont no what to do.

well your little brother certainly is right about the herman, and the red footed tortoise being together the conditions that a herman requires certainly is not suitable for a red footed tortoise the diet and temps are totally different, so it is good you have moved them, as for the red footed tortoise and the bearded dragon being together, this is also not a good arrangement, they require a different habitat and temps so keeping them together is not possible, you also have the problem of cross contamination between the species, as you probably already know reptiles can be a carrier of certain diseases (which are no threat to us) but a reptile can be a carrier and not show symptoms but it can pass things on so by mixing the different reptile like a red footed tortoise and a bearded dragon you could be the cause of one getting sick so it is not recommended to ever mix different species of reptile, it would be best for both your much loved reptiles to stick to keeping them separate in their own enclosures which are designed for their individual needs, i hope this helps you to decide what is best for all your special pets, best of luck honey
