8 Powerful good luck Chinese symbols for business and wealth

It was about 12 years ago when I started getting interested in feng shui and Chinese good luck symbols.

I had some health issue at that time and went to a hospital. I had to wait for my turn for more than 2 hours, sitting at the hospital chairs with many other patients.

Every time I went there it was always like that. The chairs and sofas were not enough for all the patients, and most of them were standing in the waiting room for their turn to come.

In the front door, there was a dragon head ship made of green color stone, ( I didn’t notice it was jade at that time ), an aquarium, and also on the reception counter there was a mythology creature figurine.

I also saw a Happy Buddha statue ( also called laughing Buddha ),
And also on the doctor’s desk, there was also another dragon figurine, and the female doctor was wearing a beautiful big jade stone ring on one of her fingers.

One of the reasons the doctor was so popular is she used natural herbal medicine which is good for the human body and also other alternative methods. The price was quite expensive compared with other hospitals.

But at that time I was more curious for her decorations which I had never seen except for Happy Buddha statue ( also known as Hotei in Japan)

Her jade ring looked almost like emerald, as a fashion ring but later I thought It might be for her protection and for good fortune.

And I was also wondering about the dragon head sailing ship which was displayed in the front door. It had impressive decoration.

Later , I found out that the symbol of a sailing ship is well known as to brings wealth from wind and water in China. Especially when it’s dragon head is made of lucky stone “ jade”, the power increases.

That hospital looked quite successful, always filled with so many patients even though higher fee.
　
Here are a few good luck Chinese symbols which are good for business and wealth.


1. Kuan Kung - God of business

Kuan Kung is one of the most famous & popular Taoist deities and was a military leader who lived in China during the Three Kingdoms Period, in the third century A.D.

He was known as a God of war and later known as a god of business ( & wealth ). There are different kinds of version of Kuan Kung and for business success & protection, Kuan Kung wearing dragon image robe,
armour complete with banners and flags, having long sword, is the best to protect your business and increase your wealth. The best place to display Kuan Kung is northwest area of your office or store.

Also displaying this image behind where you sit at work will get powerful support from important people.


2. Dragon head sailing ship

Sailing ship has been used by many business people in China to attract wealth from the wind and water.

By filling the ship with “ gold” “ Chinese ancient coins or gold ingot ” it becomes wealth ship. They display the sailing ship near the entrance of the office or store. If the ship appears to be sailing in to your business or home from your lucky directions, it will bring income and success.

Feng shui tips - Listen to your heart,for your health, wealth, success and happiness

Most of the reasons why people care for feng shui is to improve their wealth, love life , health, success and have happy life.

Everyone wishes to have a happy life.

Unfortunately, many people I have seen don’t have all of these.

If one is wealthy, they have the issue with their health, or family issue or not satisfied with their relationship.

If one is healthy, and have good relationship, they have financial issue.

Or one doesn’t have strong desire to have some of these, they are satisfied with their life as long as they can survive.

However, there are also people who have all of these, wealth, health, love and success with less ups and downs in their lives .

What’s the difference ?

It’s all about energy.

When we look at the source of it, Feng shui is about energy and how to well balance your space and mind.

How energy around you flows in the space, how your personal energy influences your life wherever you are.

Have you ever wondered why bad luck sometimes happens in a sequence or at the same time?

Because when we get a problem, our feeling becomes down, stress, frustration, irritation, anger, cry, depression all rises.

Those negative emotions attract more negative things in life.

Whatever you give , however you express your emotion, words, it returns to you.

So the point for the solution when you have a problem is to change your inner mind, your focus, thought immediately to positive.

Don’t worry if you don’t actually feel positive. Just the change of focus to something uplifting is very helpful.

And once you’ve done it a few times, you get better at it.

Giving gratitude for something or to someone are the easiest ways to change your thoughts.

Your inner is reflected in the outer.

If you feel your life going wrong recently, or for a long time, pay attention for your every day habit.

There are many beliefs in feng shui, like your house directions , which directions are for wealth, romance, work, fame, family happiness, health, children, color feng shui etc..

But the point is that it makes a well- balanced space and makes to flow the chi energy smoothly, remove all the clutters from your space.

It connects to your inner mind, and you also need to listen to your heart, how you feel with the space you are in.

Even though your lucky direction shows East, if you don’t feel comfortable with that direction you are facing, it doesn’t help.

If there is a high building standing in front of your house, or if there is noisy high way in front of your house, or if there is huge trash box in front of your house, those things don’t make most people’s feeling good.

You may want to pay attention for total balance of Inner and outer.

When you fill your inner with harmony, this will help to improve your life.

Why keeping your mouth shut is important to attract good luck ?

There is a mystery I’ve been wondering about and that is why does it seem that we always get good luck when we were keep our mouth shut while in the process of doing something.

I noticed that while I was doing job hunting, looking for a partner, or going traveling, etc..
And people around me also experienced the same things.

Since I noticed that, I started keeping my mouth shut in the process of whatever I planned to do.

Let me give you some examples,


While I was looking for a job, I tried many companies, also registered in five temporary job centers. And I got some job offers from the temporary job centers.

Soon after I got the offer, and before going to the interviews, I told about it to my mother, and my friends who were worried about me.

And in that process, when the benefit of the offer was good, I told about it to everyone with excitement and big expectation as if I already got the job.

However, it always failed and I could not get those jobs.

And when I was not so expecting , and didn’t tell anyone about it , things always went well and I got a good job.

Also about marriage,

I have several close friends who often share our relationship situation with each other, and before marriage, starting from “ how’s it going with your boyfriend ? ” , we always loved to share the details whenever something new happened in our dating life.

And it was always nice things happening when we did NOT expect the result, and didn’t talk much.

For my marriage, since I knew that, I didn’t tell anyone about my opportunity to meet my husband.

It was very hard not to tell to my best friend when I was asked about my present situation at that time.

And I made a big surprise to everyone including my family when it became sure decision , right before my husband and I got married.

However, one of my friends who is still single, who is still looking for her future husband is still telling everyone whenever she had a new opportunity, expecting , dreaming to marriage life with new boyfriend.

But still repeating.

I’m originally the kind of person who loves to tell people around me the process for any
plans. And it’s quite hard for me not to tell anyone my true feelings.

But there is also research about one of the secrets of success strategies.

“ Don’t talk to anyone about your plans except for those who directly assist you. “

This way you can concentrate your inner fire, your concentration to succeed.

It’s not so easy to use our minds the right way though.

Dream big as if it is already happening, but not with expectation for it to happen , don’t expect the result, don’t tell about it to anyone, but just do it.

If you use your mind the right way, it will bring good luck and you will succeed.

The Weather influences our feeling ? Do you have a habit to complain ?

No matter how we fix our living places based on feng shui science, if you have a habit to interpret things negative way, or look for negative things, it all becomes your personal energy, and influences your future.

Depending on the places where you live, the weather, the scenery, the air, the temperature, these are all influencing our every day feeling.

If you are not in the comfort zone of your living, it may be more easy to get irritation, annoyed, frustration and may be easy to see things negative way.

Are you loving where you live ?

The most recent research of study shows that the top most unhappy / depressed cities in the USA are

1. Portland, OR
2. St. Louis, MO
3. New Orleans, LA
4. Detroit, MI

http://images.businessweek.com/ss/09/02/0226_miserable_cities/2.htm

This data was based on depression, suicide, crime, divorce, cloudy days and unemployment rates, although this doesn’t mean all the people who live there are feeling unhappy.

Portland, OR

Overall rank - 1
Depression rank - 1
Suicide rank - 12
Crime (property and violent) rank - 24
Divorce rate rank - 4
Cloudy days - 222
Unemployment rate (December 2008) - 7.8%


I was actually surprised to see this result about Portland is selected as the most depressive city in the USA.

I have never visited this city, but my image of Portland, seeing movies and photos is a very beautiful peaceful place.

But I never knew cloudy days of Portland is 222/yr and unemployment rate : 7.8%, and depression rank is number one.

Here is more about it and some comments about Portland.

http://www.blueoregon.com/2009/03/no-business-week-portland-is-not-the-most-unhappy-city-in-america.html


For Second unhappiest cities ranking is St. Louis, MO, I understand why it was ranked as number one crime place because I used to live there for about a year.

Especially East St. Louis area was known to be dangerous and the downtown St. Louis was like a ghost town.

Overall my impression of people over there was not so cheerful and friendly, this impression magnified when I moved to AZ because in general the people in AZ are very cheerful and friendly.

Besides doing feng shui, clearing inner personal energy is also important to improve our life.


Here are some suggestion to uplift your personal energy when your feeling is down.


1. Think like you are already valuable and blessed since you were born.

Everyone was born alone with nothing, no clothes , no knowledge etc.. if you have clothes to wear, you are already blessed.

When we start living our life, we get many things, but also when we lose something we got, we feel depressed.

Imagine what you have with gratitude and saying the words “ Thank you “. by appreciating things, our feeling becomes sweet, and this is the best way to clear our mind energy.

2. Communicate with people who make you feel good.

3. Walk around nature under the sun 30 minutes. ( if your living place is too sunny, choose a safe place in the evening time when the sun almost goes down or cloudy days may be better. )

4. Go to see scenery of mountain or beach. Both ocean and mountain have power to relief your stress.

5. Listening to music which make you feel happy.

6. Taking a warm bath.

7. If you are a very active person who are not good at relax and love to always moving around, doing sports or dance which you love will make your feeling good.

Any other tasks you can think of , based on your personality.
