The idea of good luck and bad luck has long been part of man's culture. In the ancient times, people would be more serious followers of the concept and practices of good luck and positive energy. Aside from the possession of stones, gems, and figures which are believed to bring good luck to us, the ancient generations also have customs and practices that call on to the luck and positive energy surrounding us.
In the present days, many people in different parts of the world have continued to uphold and practice such beliefs. Not only do we still have good luck charms and figures, but we also have a set of practices and customs that we do in special times of the year that are believed to attract wealth, good health and good luck in general.
One special aspect of the concept of good luck is the use and possession of lucky gemstones. Gemstones or precious stones are believed to bring good luck to those who wear it or have it. Of course, gemstones by themselves are of great value since many of them some from rare stones of the earth. Aside from their natural and monetary value, many people believe that there are certain gemstones which bring good luck, health, and prosperity.
Lucky gemstones are believed to bring the positive energy to those who wear it while warding off unlucky ones. For example, a person who wears a necklace with her lucky gemstone can attract more positive energy; thus, bring her good luck and good health. Because of this belief, individuals as well as business owners practice the usage of lucky gemstones in many countries.
A woman wearing her lucky gemstone as a necklace pendant not only accessorizes herself with the beauty of the jewelry but also brings good luck upon herself. A business owner who has a stall of goods can be seen to have some lucky gemstone charms around her business stall or store. A man who needs to have luck in his work may actually have a tiny lucky gemstone wedged in his bag or wallet. A house owner who wants to attract good energy to her home may hang a piece of charm with her lucky gemstone to protect her house and family from bad luck and bad happenings. This practice is done, individually and by businesses, to attract money, good health and all kinds of good luck.
There are numerous lucky gemstones available whether as part of jewelries or as stones. Many find them best kept by wearing them as necklaces, bracelets, rings, or even brooches. Others tend to keep them as home displays as plain stones which come in various shapes and sizes. The most popular lucky gemstones are jade, rose quartz, crystal quartz, amethyst, tiger eye, jasper, green moss agate gem, aventurine gem, agate gem and black onyx. Anyone can match these gemstones to their birthdates or to the specific gemstone that attracts them. Many lucky gemstones and jewelry are available on stores both online and offline.
Feng Shui is an old Asian tradition that was originated somewhere around 256 BC. I am not going to go very deep into the definition of what Feng Shui is, apart from just saying that it is an ancient art of creating environments around us for every day living, business and family. It examines how the placement of objects around us affects our life in positive or negative ways and how interaction with these objects can improve or impede the level of happiness and success we experience in life.
Feng Shui is quite a complicated art, and in order to understand it we first need to clarify a few principals that come into play.
First of all we need to know about Chi. Basic definition of Chi (or Ki) is that it is a universal energy (an energy that is present in all objects at all time). Some scientific explanation for such energy lies in the unified field theory of quantum physics. I am not going to try to explain that, but if you need a further info you can refer to that term in your research.
So in Feng Shui, placement of objects either impedes or promotes the flow of this energy. So in other words, if Chi flows freely in our environment, this also will mean that our life will be happier, healthier and more successful. If the Chi is blocked, we will experience all sorts of difficulties in our life.
How would any lay person benefit from this ancient art? One of the basic tenets of Feng Shui is that we need to balance our life in anyway that we can. A simple way to do that from the Feng Shui point of view would be to un-clutter your life from both objects and emotional clutter.
According to Feng Shui clutter stagnates our life. In stead of flowing smoothly and easily, the Chi that surrounds us and the objects we use in our daily life is obstructed. So when we have a lot of clutter in our life, it will feel as if we are stuck in some or all areas of the daily living. We also might have bad "luck" in our career. Our relationships might feel like they are not going anywhere. This concept can also be applied to the emotional baggage in our life. Too much of it can significantly impede the way our life flows.
What can we do about the clutter in our life? It is very simple. Do a Feng Shui cleanse! Follow these simple guide lines to free your self of clutter:
1. If you haven't used it in a year you don't need it.
2. When you are getting rid of clutter, you are in fact making more space to receive new objects - so learn how to let go of things (and emotions)
3. Do it. Don't put it off. Act and don't give it a second thought.
Once you uncluttered your self, you will gain a brand new outlook on life. Things will seem fresher. It will almost feel like a weight has been lifted from your chest. And you just might also feel the difference in other areas of your life as well.
