Since ancient times coins were representing wealth and prosperity. Though these days ancient Chinese coins do not serve as money, they are frequently used by Feng Shui practitioners as a cure against poverty and financial problems.
Old Chinese Coins as a Feng Shui Cure
Old Chinese coins were traditionally used in Feng Shui. It is believed that the form of ancient Chinese coins reflects the unity of earth and heaven. The round coin represents the Yang energy of heaven, while the square hole inside – the Yin energy of earth. For that reason the coin is a symbol of harmony of space, time, and energy flows.
The name of the Immortal is carved on the Yang side of the coin, and the Yin side pictures it. Such a coin acts as a lucky charm, so a person that owns this old coin will be always protected by the Immortal.
Lucky Charms With Old Chinese Coins that Attract Wealth
- The coin should be kept with the Yang side upwards. It can be carried with the individual or kept at home or in the office.
- In some cases a Chinese coin is hung on a red thread tied into a knot. Sometimes a red ribbon or silk lace is used instead of the thread. This charm is usually placed in Feng Shui wealth area or near a baby’s cradle, thus wishing a young person wealthy and prosperous life. However, the best option is to make a bracelet of with 3 or 7 old coins on a red ribbon or thread. It should not be worn, but kept in a purse or wallet – the place where money is kept.
- Another variant is to put a few coins into a piece of red fabric or paper and locate in the wealth area, but in such a way that people don’t see them.
- A pile of gold coins is another Feng Shui cure frequently located on the office desk in order to attract money. This pile consists of 5 gold coins that are attached to each other. In some variants, a turtle is sitting on top of the pile.
- One more application of old Chinese coins is making a salt water cure that clears and improves Chi of the house or office.
Wealth in Chinese Philosophy
Probably the question about whether wealth contributes to the happiness of a person has been disturbing the minds of both philosophers and ordinary people for centuries. The conclusions differ. However, in any case, even if the role of wealth and money in the person’s life is not great, one should never underestimate it. Wealth and money give people more freedoms. Similarly, a proper amount of money allows a person to accomplish what otherwise would be impossible.
Feng Shui has many ways of attracting wealth and money. It seems that not just contemporary people, but ancient Chinese too, were concerned about this issue. The Chinese always try to do everything possible for their family to be prosperous, because wealth is a subject of pride and a basis of future generations’ happiness. For many people wealth is a symbol of family’s well being, so Chinese coins are used as one of the Feng Shui cures that attract wealth.
