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...

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 eve...
