The greedy dragon of ambition by Jakob Jelling

The greedy dragon of ambition is a very special dragon; he will always help you taking advantage of any new situation which offers a good opportunity. This dragon would never let an opportunity to be lost or waste, he is always attentive to them and ready to do what it takes.

Dragons are one of the most powerful and symbolic creatures for feng shui and oriental cultures, and there are several different myths built around them. There is, for example, the dragon of golden opportunities who takes care of helping business people achieving their goals; and there is the dragon of abundance who specializes in attracting prosperity and wealth to those who own it.

The greedy dragon is a very special one since it helps us paying attention to any opportunity which might appear and which we might have left pass if it wasn't for his help. Very often we don't realize of the chances which an opportunity offers until we have actually lost it, and this is what the greedy dragon of ambition would help us avoiding. By keeping a greedy dragon of ambition within our home or our office, we would become much more attentive to every new opportunity which might come to us.

Most of the times, opportunities are given only once and randomly, and very often we dont notice them and actually let them pass and lose them. Therefore, it is highly important that we are ready to spot them and take advantage of what they can offer at the exact moment they appear and before they run away. According to feng shui and Chinese traditions, by having a greedy dragon of ambition we would be always attentive and ready to spot the opportunities which might cross our way.

The greedy dragon of ambition believes he is better than everybody else, which makes him feel self secure enough as not to let anyone move him away from his outstanding place. Therefore, he is always where he wishes and ready to hold every new opportunity which might appear and which shows a potential benefit for his owner.

The symbolism of double fishes by Jakob Jelling

The symbolism of double fishes by Jakob Jelling

In feng shui and for oriental traditions, the fish is a very symbolic creature which represents abundance and wealth. Having fishes in the kitchen is a great way of helping abundance and provisions to be always present in the house. Feng shui practitioners recommend having fishes and double fishes in the kitchen or the living room in order to make sure that those who inhabit the house will always have what they need.

Yu, which means fish, phonetically matches the word for abundance, which might be a coincidence but is very symbolic as well. It is very common to see objects representing fishes in many Chinese houses, most of the times in the kitchen but sometimes in the living rooms as well.

Fishes are abundant in the sea and provide us an unlimited source of nourishment and supplies. It is a natural source of human sustenance which can be found in abundant amounts. Therefore, they are an abundant creature itself and its symbolism might be highly due to this aspect of their nature.

Besides all what was mentioned above, a fish is also seen as a symbol of fertility. Fishes have notable abilities for reproduction which makes them an ideal icon for symbolizing fertility. They are always together and travel as a team which makes them also symbolize unity and marriage.

A fish is also a symbol of life renewal. This creature survives all times and poques and is always there for other beings to nurture from them. They are constantly renewing and giving birth to next generations, and this is seen by the oriental cultures as a great symbol of life preservation and regeneration. They show strength and are seen as representing a power for restoration and revival as well as rejuvenation and the power of continuation through time.

Double fishes represent unity, marriage and abundance not only in food provisions but also in children and family in general. Having double fishes in the living room or the room in which the family gathers to eat is a great way of assuring abundance in all aspects and for all the family members.

How to Improve Relationships with Feng Shui Remedies by Steven M. Ng

How to Improve Relationships with Feng Shui Remedies by Steven M. Ng

In order to improve relationships, many people have increasingly turned to Feng Shui remedies hoping to find a solution for their woes.

The Feng Shui used in this article is the Eight Mansion (Pa-Kua) School under the Xuan Kong System. For more information on this, and for more basics on Feng Shui, you can visit the following page:

SLEEPING POSITION

The easiest thing you can do to activate your personal relationships is to sleep with your head pointing towards your Nien Yin (Personal Relationship) direction. For couples, it is recommended that you sleep in a bedroom located in the female's Nien Yin corner of the house, while you sleep with both your heads pointing towards the male's Nien Yin direction.

In addition, be careful not to sleep under any overhead beams, as doing so is said to put pressure on your love life.

FENG SHUI FIGURINE PLACEMENT

Another method to activate your Nien Yin corner and improve relationships is to place Feng Shui remedies and figurines in your Nien Yin corner. You can place these figurines in the Nien Yin corner of your bedroom, house or even your office.

The most popular of the relationship-enhancing Feng Shui remedies is the humble mandarin duck. Mandarin ducks mate for life and will die of loneliness if separated from their chosen mate. These qualities are the best reflection of true love, and will reflect on those who use mandarin ducks in their Nien Yin corners.

Besides the mandarin duck, another remedy that can improve relationships is the rose quartz crystal. Rose quartz, also popularly known as the "love stone", is ideal for love and relationships due to its ability to stimulate passion, energy and confidence. These crystals should also be placed in the Nien Yin corner of your room or house.

CARRY FENG SHUI WITH YOU

You can also carry these relationship-healing properties with you wherever you go by either wearing mandarin duck or rose quartz necklaces, or by placing such tokens in your wallet or handbag.

BAZI ANALYSIS

If you are interested in looking at other methods to improve relationships and marriages, you might want to consider using the BaZi techniques.

BaZi (pronounced Par Zhee) is not related to normal Feng Shui remedies. It is a form of Chinese astrology and divination, and is able to plot the course of your life using your birthdate.

Using BaZi, your strengths and weaknesses can be revealed, and you will know when your luck and prosperity cycles will peak and drop, including those crucial "clashing" points when significant changes will occur in your life. You can also find out your compatibility and relationship with your family as well as potential spouses.

There are various aspects of your life that can be analyzed using BaZi, including health, financial prosperity and relationships. For relationships, you can read more about the BaZi Relationship Analysis Report and use the information provided in the report to improve relationships and create long-lasting love.

You may access the Kua Calculator to calculate your Nien Yin corner, as well as the BaZi report at:
