Symbols that Promote Health, Abundance and Well-being
Health is a precious resource. Some would even say it's a form of wealth – and it is. When you're healthy you're able to enjoy all parts of life. When you're ill or have a health complication, it is more difficult to enjoy life and live freely. If health problems are serious, it can hurt your ability to make money, enjoy a career, or work in your business. Health problems can also be very costly. After job loss, the people who go bankrupt most often do so because of large medical expenses. So, it’s important to protect your health and keep your well-being and that of your family protected.
This is one of the fundamental ideas of feng shui: protecting longevity, which is another way of saying "health."
