A good name and reputation are the keys to good luck. Feng shui emphasizes building a good reputation. This will bring respect among colleagues and lead to fame and fortune. People try to avoid relationships with people with a bad reputation.
Recognition is the fundamental requirement for success. A winner always relies on two things: determination to succeed and good feng shui.
There are several ways to activate the feng shui of a good reputation. Traditionally, light and color are used. Place a crystal sconce on the south side of your office or room. If it illuminates the room for most of the day, it will bring not only a good reputation but also fame and good fortune.
The most auspicious location for a fireplace is near the south wall of the apartment. It energizes good fortune while neutralizing negative energy. Instead of a fireplace, you can use lit candles in this area.
Another way to energize and improve luck is through color. A bold move is to paint the walls of a south-facing room red, which is associated with good fortune and a good reputation. Blue and black, on the other hand, create a bad reputation. In the bedroom, red tones can also lead to insomnia.
You can paint only the door leading into the room. To enhance the effect, hang firecrackers on the door, which symbolize an abundance of noise. Loud noise is associated with the applause that greets a distinguished person.
It's recommended to display diplomas and awards received on the south wall. To enhance good fortune, consider paintings of sunrises or blooming sunflowers, which suggest an abundance of honors. A vase of fresh flowers is also an option. Keep in mind that drooping flowers signify a decline in reputation. Change the water and flowers promptly when they wilt.
You can use unconventional methods to energize a good reputation—talismans. The south is the home of the phoenix, the king of all birds. It is placed in front of the house, opposite the front door. Most often, a small boulder in front of the door represents the phoenix.
It is believed to possess powerful energy to rise above adverse circumstances. It can rise from fire and ashes and ascend to the heavens. Placing an image of a crimson phoenix on the south side of your office will ensure recognition of your achievements. A red phoenix in the bedroom stimulates the brain, making it difficult to fall asleep. Therefore, keeping an image of a phoenix in the bedroom is not recommended.
The rooster is considered the earthly equivalent of the phoenix. You can place an image of this bird in the south of your living room if you were born in the year of the rooster. It symbolizes all virtues. The comb is a sign of literary talent and a desire for knowledge. The spurs represent fearlessness in the face of difficulties. The body represents many virtuous qualities.
Peacock feathers are also a good symbol of recognition. There's a belief that peacock feathers bring fame to the head of the house. The more recognized this person is, the greater their chances of success. If children come from a family where the head of the house is known for his or her good reputation, they are said to be lucky. Make your children happy!
