With the help of the ancient Chinese philosophical system of feng shui, there may be a number of ways to improve your health. This may range from merely placing a few of talismans in strategic areas of your home to a proper way of redecorating your entire home. We’ll focus on how to improve your physical well-being by using talismans that are affordable and simple.
According to feng shui, the state of our health can be influenced by the balance of your environment. Therefore, our well-being may significantly depend on the décor of the place where we spend most of our time, which is usually our home. In the realm of symbolism, our health may depend on the placement of special talismans in your home, which may either shorten or increase the longevity and health of the homeowner. Through the information provided by this article, you may be able to properly select the items that can lead to the betterment or restoration of your health.
Some figurines such as peaches, turtle, deer, and crane and items made of bamboo and pine can bring longevity and health to their owner. In China, these amulets have been used for ages and have been the standard in boosting the well-being of a person and in treatment of disease.
Most of the time, these charms are used in the improvement of health. A peach amulet, for instance, often symbolizes the god of longevity. This figurine may be of an old smiling man holding a peach. A deer figurine may represent Sau, the god of longevity. We can use pictures or figures of bamboo stalks, a flying crane, a turtle, or deer to attract positive energy in our home.
The eastern area of your home is the best location for these pictures and talismans that can positively affect your health. Hence, in feng shui, the proper design of the eastern part of your home is extremely important. The area affecting longevity needs to be pleasant to the eyes, should be properly lit, and saturated with different symbols of longevity. This can also help eliminate negative thoughts, and stimulate meditation. The strength of its influence can be multiplied many times over through the creation of a well-lit and beautiful place that adds to the external and internal harmony in that area.
According to some individuals, the purpose of feng shui is to merely determine what things to place inside the home, and where to place it. Its true purpose however, is to attain harmony in the three major systems of energy: Human, Earth, and Heaven.
A person is a conductor of both Earthly and Heavenly energy. Our bodies are made of energy. They naturally can receive various types of energies from the earth and the ether and process them. With the use of feng shui health techniques, our bodies can become better conductors of these subtle energies.
As in every theory, there will be skeptics who won’t believe in the reality of these subtle energies. But for those who believe in feng shui philosophy, this system can be a way of improving their health. It is an ancient wisdom that can still be applied today to help people achieve harmony, success, and longevity in their lives.
