FOR SPRING




I received an email from a visitor to this blog who goes by the moniker Spring. Well, Spring asked about how to get the amulet that I blogged about here as he/she lives in the USA and there is no temple near his/her dwelling place. I am not too sure which particular amulet that was being referred to. However, let me mention that an amulet or talisman is not compulsory if one needs to boost health and career luck. There are other ways such as making use of auspicious sectors. Alternatively, the use of the bamboo plant would also help where health and career are concerned. Let me convince you on the goodness of the wonderful bamboo.

The bamboo plant symbolizes good wealth as the Chinese believe it brings luck and fortune to any household, business or individual. One of the attributes of the bamboo is that it grows very fast and keeping such a in the drawing or office helps to enhance the positive energy of the place and brings growth and good luck in ones career. To improve the positive chi and remove the negativity of the place try keeping such a plant in the living room or office. The bamboo also symbolises Growth , whether in a relationship , life , career or money.
One ornamental plant that is very popular among the Chinese is known as Lucky Bamboo (first picture). It is a very tough and resilient plant that does not need direct sun light and can grow in places where sun light is not available. Besides, the lunar new year Chinese buy the Lucky Bamboo plant to celebrate a business grand opening, the purchase of a new home, or just for pure luck!

The Lucky Bamboo has the following spiritual meanings:
  • Advancement/career - climb up the ladder
  • Prosperity - success in business ventures
  • Longevity - good health, harmony and peaceful life
  • Zen - religious, gracious, honorable
  • Relationship - energize your love life
  • Feng Shui - Chi - create positive energy in your environment

FENG SHUI TITBITS ABOUT THE BAMBOO:

  1. The Gesture of giving 3 stalks to each wedding guest is believed to bless a marriage with everlasting happiness and success."
  2. According to legend, a gift of living bamboo is a gift of good luck.
  3. Different numbers of bamboo stalks represented luck, wealth, health.
    2 stalks = love; 3 or 6 stalks = happiness; 5 or 7 stalks = health; 8 stalks = wealth; 9 stalks = general good fortune; 21 stalks = blessings.
  4. The bamboo symbolizes wood which brings the energy of vitality, strength and growth into your home or office.

So, what are you waiting for? Go and get yourself a bamboo plant as soon as possible.
