JEWELLERY; GEMSTONES and Feng Shui

Jade is highly prized in the Far East and auspicious used in jewellery.  Rings, bracelets, pendants, necklaces and earrings especially in a good quality deep green colour will bring their wearer good luck.  The darker the colour the more auspicious it is.

You can also use jewellery and gemstones to invite health and wealth, love and good fortune.

Wearing amethyst can attract good luck and protect against ill-health.

As the saying goes ‘diamonds are forever,’ they represent among other things, longevity.  They can also bring plenty of admirers into the life of their wearer.

Gemstones are also associated with your day of birth and this is said to bring you the attributes belonging to that day. 

For instance, Monday is also known as ‘Moon Day’ and the gemstone associated with this day is the white pearl.  One attribute associated with the stone is inner beauty.

The emerald is known for the inclusions in its stones and it signifies success and growth.

You can wear gemstones the colour of your four auspicious directions based on your Kua number to invite the aspiration associated with these directions.

Auspicious Directions

Overall Success or ‘Sheng Chi’

Health

Love and Relationships

Personal Development

 The centre is not specified as a ‘direction’ but it does signify the ‘Heart of the Home’ so is both an Earth element which represents stability and solid ground and an important area to positively enhance in any space for the benefit of the entire family.

Each of the Five Elements has a Yin (stillness and quiet) and a Yang (movement and noise) aspect and this is something else to consider when enhancing your living space.

Element	Yang	Yin
WATER	Flowing Water	Still or Stagnant Water
WOOD	Growing Wood	Dead Wood or Furniture
FIRE	Roaring Fire	Dying Embers
EARTH	Crystals, Stones and Pebbles, Sand	Underground Earth
METAL	Moving Metal/Metallic Sounds	Unyielding Hard Metal

In your living areas, the living and dining rooms, the elements benefit from being more Yang than Yin; in your sleeping area, the bedroom, the elements benefit from being more Yin than Yang.

Yang is created with brightness, light, sound and movement; with activity and is in harmony with lively and harmonious living – Yin is darker and quieter and allows your mind, body and spirit to be refreshed and recharged for a new day.

In the practice of Feng Shui, Water relates to a steady stream of income, of your career.  Water should never be used to enhance in the bedroom, this is a major taboo.

Wood signifies health if it is in the East and wealth if it is in the Southeast, Water ‘feeds’ Wood and will enhance these areas, as long as it is Yang Water (moving water.)

Fire brings fame and recognition in your chosen field and this is fed by Wood.

Earth is represented in the Northeast and this is the universal study and education area.  It is also the element of the Southwest and this represents family, love and relationships.  Both of these areas are ‘created’ by Fire, by light.

The West is the area of the family and family harmony and the Northwest represents heaven and mentor luck.  These areas are the Metal areas and they are enhanced by the element of Earth.

To the fulfillment of your dreams

Your Career using Feng Shui

As you saw in A – Auspicious Aspirations, one of the Eight Aspirations in Feng Shui focuses on Career Luck.

Its universal direction is the North, which is a Water element area.

This is the place to focus your attention, in your home or office, if career is important to you.

If you are starting out on your career path, having a Mentor, either outside the home or someone older in your family, to support and encourage you, can give you a head start.

The Northwest is the area relating to Mentor Luck and fortuitously it is the area known as Big Metal.

In the Five Elements of Feng Shui Metal ‘creates’ Water, so activating the North with metallic objects is auspicious.

The Northwest is the area of the male and it is also known as ‘Heaven’s Gate.’

By activating the North with elements relating to this Yang masculine area you are inviting the positive Chi Energy of heaven necessary to give you a helping hand on your career path.

Metal is a Yang element, so displaying wind chimes in the North will invite lots of Yang Energy. A six-rod hollow metal wind chime is the most auspicious (six is the number of the Northwest, of heaven.)

You can also house your television or music centre here.  Plenty of Yang Chi Energy will invite plenty of support.

In addition, enhancing the area with the element of the North, which is Yang Water, invites lots of positive Chi Energy into the space.

The Water must be Yang (moving Water) and a perfect combination of the Northwest and the North is a six-tier water feature in your home (six is the number of the Northwest; one is the number of the North.)  The Water should be falling towards you and not away from you otherwise any good fortune created by the water feature is going elsewhere.

One major taboo to avoid:  Water is extremely inauspicious when displayed in a bedroom, so if you live in an apartment and the North is your bedroom then the best solution is to display the image of a Turtle or a Tortoise instead.

The turtle provides support so in an ideal situation will be behind you.  However, as long as it is in the North it will work its magic.   Please, bear in mind - no Water in the bedroom - ever!

To complete our exploration of the areas of the North, the Northeast is the universal area relating to Education and Study Luck (to personal development) and in a new career this is also an area important to the positive development of your future.

The Northeast is an Earth area.  Enhancing with Earth elements and light (Fire) will activate the luck of personal development.

An auspicious image is the crystal globe, or a globe made with precious and semi-precious gemstones.  This is especially relevant if your business or career is international.

In addition, light (Fire in the Five Elements) enhances the Earth element so bright light is auspicious.  If used creatively it can enhance the crystal element making the area come alive with positive Yang Chi Energy.

One final point:  Stay focused on your goal.  Work every day towards your goal.  Your contribution is important for these enhancements to work effectively.

Next time we will look at D - Dining Room.
