During a Feng Shui Consultation in New York my clients often want to purchase items that are considered auspicious for one reason or another in Feng Shui. The Chinese and many other cultures have symbols they consider important to acknowledge or are considered lucky and while no ones home needs to end up looking like a Chinese Restaurant, I thought I would share some of my favorite items. Some of these things I use personally during a Feng Shui Consultation and I also use them in my own home. Please see the note at the bottom :)
*Please note: These pictures are from a site I have used for years and recommend to my clients. They have been in existence since 1996 and still offer the same high quality items at reasonable prices. It is called The Feng Shui Emporium and you'll find a comprehensive list of items you might also enjoy.

I love to use Bells in Feng Shui. We alternate SOUND with Sage depending on the Space Clearing we are seeking. The sound from these bells gets the Energy moving again and clears out any negative Energy lingering in a space.
In the Black Sect of Feng Shui, Bells are considered to "Ring in the Money." They are often placed in a Wealth area in your home or on your desk.

I also LOVE the sound of Windchimes. In Feng Shui we use them both outdoors and inside the home. They can help keep the energy "moving" so that areas outside and in don't become stagnant. Since Energy can "pool" in corners, they are often used inside the home in corners---outside we use them as "cures" for different reasons.

The Feng Shui Emporium calls them Lucky Frogs. We were taught they are Money Frogs as they sit on coins and hold a coin in their mouth to attract money. Here's where some Feng Shui Consultants differ:
We were taught they should be FACING the Front Door (the Mouth of Chi) to DRAW THE MONEY IN. *Some suggest two Frogs, one to draw the money IN, the other to KEEP it IN :)

You'll see these Lucky Cats in just about EVERY Chinese business you will pass...and in most homes as well. I used to think they were cute BUT IMO, They Work! I got my first Lucky Cat with Val who actually wrote about it. Some have paws that wave and run on batteries. I don't believe it was any "coincidence" that BOTH Val and I got several jobs the very next day!

Probably the one Item I am most likely to suggest. Crystals come from the Earth and are believed to diffuse Energy or help keep it moving. They also provide Clarity and some use a small crystal next to their computer to help them work faster and more effectively.
Hallways and near windows are also places we sometimes hang crystals.

I personally love water fountains. They help to get an area MOVING. I also love the sound of the gentle water trickling down and find it soothing and relaxing.
There are many different kinds of fountains....some directs the water a certain way and some that are battery operated so small to use on a desk.
These are beautiful with the sound not only of water but bells as well.
Most commonly placed above the front door facing OUT to help deflect any negative energy away including large buildings, fast moving traffic and sometimes troublesome neighbors.
***Clearly I need help here! I edited these pictures twice, they are all set to LEFT and they keep coming out this way....does anyone know WHY?

This is very useful information. I was aware of the lucky cat and the money frogs but not the other items. I love the sound of windchimes, though I have never thought to use them inside.
