Law of Attraction and Feng Shui – The Correct Use of Symbols

You probably know the cure of putting a pair of mandarin duck statuettes into the relationship area of your home, when you want to attract more romance into your life?

And the one about a money ship sailing through your house?

In popular Feng Shui, one of the leading principles seems to be that many of the “cures” are simply symbols that represent one of your desires. Like putting a pair of ducks in a “relationship” area, or a boat bearing symbolic riches in the “wealth” area of a room.

However, in the real-life application of Feng Shui, there are some untreatable circumstances that can only be compensated by applying the power of intentions. For instance, if you were selling your home, and you didn’t want to leave candles burning ad infinitum, or hang windchimes in an area that frequently has very strong breezes.

Intention is the placing of your own Qi into an area, to energise and activate it.

But does this technically fall under the range of Feng Shui?

There is huge confusion over what actually constitutes Feng Shui, even by experts. And this confusion causes a lot of unseemly squabbling.

Do symbols help to keep you focussed on your desires? Yes, they undoubtedly do. They act as a visual affirmation to pull your intentions into a certain direction.

Is it correct to refer to the use of symbols as Feng Shui? Technically, in authentic traditions, no it is not.

But there is really no point in arguing over whether or not the use of symbols is part of authentic Feng Shui.

However, a common mistake that a lot of people make, particularly from Western cultures, is to use symbols that are meaningless to them. Just because a particular symbol carries weight in another culture, but if we have no connection to that culture, then that symbol has no power to remind us of our desire.

Because Feng Shui has come to our awareness through study of the Chinese culture, many of us are not challenging the use of Chinese symbols to decorate our homes. You just end up with weird decor items that betray your anxiety about having good Feng Shui.

You would be better off creating vision boards, and intentionally focus on creating your desires. It simply a matter of balancing energies – yours versus the energy of your home.
