In Feng Shui, these are five magnificent
and powerful celestial guardians used to enhance luck from wealth to career as
well as to offer protection. They are the Dragon, Phoenix, Chi Lin, Dragon
Tortoise and Fu Dog.
The Dragon is a very important and
powerful symbol in Feng Shui. The Dragon represents the ultimate ‘Yang’ symbol,
male vigor, courage and bravery. It is magnanimous and full of vitality and
strength. The Dragon is said to create the precious cosmic Chi or known as the
‘Sheng Chi’ which brings good fortunes into our homes and workplaces, making it
an all-rounder bringer of good luck.
The phoenix, the queen of all the
winged creatures and the ultimate symbol of feminine power which has risen out
of the ash symbolizes resurrection, infinity and rebirth. It represents
opportunities and the power of hope, one of the greatest driving forces of humanity.
The Phoenix brings material comfort and good fortune to those who have a run of
bad luck, gives them the strength to continue, to survive difficult times even
though there seems to be no hope. It brings opportunity luck in your work and
career and lets you see there’s light at the end of the tunnel when you are at
your lowest low.
The Chi Lin's presence is said to
attract the powerful cosmic breath of the dragon, which promises good omens,
wealth, success, longevity, wisdom, compassion and distinguished children. The
magnificent Chi Lin is believed to have great protective abilities. It is also
believed that if you look into the eyes of the Chi Lin it will bring you
happiness and good fortune.
The dragon headed tortoise is a
powerful symbol attracting support, wealth and good luck. Dragon tortoise is
for stunning career luck; it symbolizes the combination of the dragon's
courage, determination and success, and the tortoise's longevity of tenure,
ensuring a long and successful career. It is a must have if you are in the
business or a cutthroat corporate environment.
Since ancient times, the protective
guardian known as Fu Dogs were placed in front of all the palaces and temples.
Today, one can see them at the entrances of restaurants, banks, hotels, malls
and shops. It is their task to probe the mind and intentions of the entering
guest. It is said that people with good thoughts can pass by the Fu Dogs
unhindered, but they see through bad people and refuse them entry. The Fu Dogs
also nourishes energy that enters the home or business premises and thus brings
in good fortune.
The best place to place these enhancers is in
the living room or lobby of your business premise.
