Symbolism in Feng Shui Chinese Custom Symbolism and Feng Shui Of course, in the smaller scale the Chinese people love to fill their homes with SYMBOLS that convey the message of Good Fortune. Although this is more customary in practice, in recent years, many people have classified this as a practice of Feng Shui. Strictly speaking, this is not real Feng Shui, because they do not involve the study of time, space and the environment. However, because they have been known to have profound effects on people's lives, many Masters today call it Feng Shui symbolism. All symbolism in Feng Shui are motifs that depict good fortune. They can cause no harm and perhaps no real effect on the energies of the environment. But they have profound effect on a person's psychological state. The most powerful chi is the chi generated by the thoughts of the individual. When you are symbolically reminded of good fortune everyday in your home, YOU WILL ENCOUNTER GOOD FORTUNE! Just like how positive thoughts create positive actions. Auspicious Symbology create auspicious outcomes for the household, because the positive messages (in pictorial representations) are more powerful than positive thoughts (which are often in words). Symbology in Feng Shui can be applied with ease after some simple understanding of the basics. Once you understand the basics, you can immediately apply Feng Shui symbology into your life. The Chinese Culture has long viewed certain symbols as harbingers of Good Fortune, Money Luck, Protection, Safety, Harmony, Happiness and Prosperity. This symbolism can come in the form of paintings, figurines and carvings. And of recent, these practices have spread to western countries. For instance, many Western friends love the idea of having a large figurine of the Happy Buddha, Matreiya, in their living room, because it symbolizes ultimate Happiness and Prosperity. And guess what? More happiness and prosperity DID ENTER their lives! For the last five years of so, the effects of Feng Shui symbolism have been evident and life enriching. Many westerners have incorporated this new custom in their lives and into their homes with great success. Many authors have written extensively on the subject to further give light to the practice of Feng Shui symbolism in Asia.
