How Does Symbolic FENG SHUI Work?

The best way to activate symbols of good fortune inthe living space is first to understand the scope and approach to the branch of symbolic Feng Shui practice. Taoist charms, numerology, environmentalism, deities, fruits, flowers, plants, creatures, animals, and everyday household objects are only some of the categories of lucky symbols that can be harnessed to add to thegood fortune of any living space.

The first step is to identify some of the more common powerful symbols and then to learn where to place them to get maximumbenefit from their presence in the home or workplace. In this context it is useful to consider some general principles of symbolism.

Symbols impact on thesubconscious, which makesup the main part of our mind. The old masters understood this and appreciated the effect of symbols on the general well-being of our living environments. The art and science of symbolism thus play an extremely important role in the practice of Feng Shui.

Symbolism plays an integral part in Chinese culture where everything has a meaning and an effect greater than is realized. This is reflected in the Chinese language itself where every character is a symbol, a picture that connotes an idea or concept. Usually these concepts cannot be expressed in another language because of the cultural experience required to understand the deeper meaning of the characters. Literal translations can thus be misleading. The Chinese language communicates through pictures, and symbolism is deeply ingrained in the Chinese way of life, in their culture, and in their philosophies.

This is apparent in Chinese art, architecture, poetry, literature, and craftsmanship. Every word and picture is believed to have subtle energies, meanings, and purpose. This means that all objects placed in a space can stimulate both the Chi of the environment as well as the human Chi of residents at a subconscious, and thus deeper, level.

Symbols do not necessarily have to be physical. Symbols of good and bad fortune can be anything that has the power to stimulate the energies of the space or residence. Sounds, smells, and colors all contribute to the power of symbols. These represent frequencies associated with aspirations, ideas, and moods. Symbolism also relates to Yin and Yang dimensions of energy. Thus songs, fragrances, and colors that invoke Yang energy often bring laughter and good fortune to dwellings. Too many Yang symbols, however, can cause problems, just as Yin symbols can cause moodiness.

Thus the energy of places can be manipulated to suggest and create happy, sad, exciting, soothing, arousing, or any kinds of mood depending on the balance of Yin and Yang energy. Feelings, moods, and dispositions can therefore be manipulated through the placement of symbolic representations, which in turn can have more of aYang or aYin concentration.
