The Purple Gua
The Purple Gua is that of finances, wealth and prosperity. Here we
focus on money and having what we physically need because of it.
Coins of Prosperity Charm
The Chinese have long believed in Joss money. Printed or written papers
that resemble paper money and metal coins, Joss can be offered to ancestors,
hung about in decoration to encourage wealth or carried around in a pocket as
good luck. For those of us who are looking for an easy solution, your
nearest Chinese Giftshop should carry a variety of coins wrapped in red knot
work to carry as key chains or home decorations. For those of you who have
an interest in making it all a little more personal, try crafting yourself a
charm.
Step One:
To make your own coins of prosperity, collect a variety of Chinese coins, stones
with holes in them or various other objects that have a 'donut' like shape.
The concept of these round yet open circles is that Chi can freely flow through
them to encourage wealth and prosperity.
Step Two:
Using red or yellow ribbon, tie your objects into a small but pretty pattern
using small knots or bows. You can tie all your objects into one
arrangement, or tie each of them into several small arrangements to be placed
about.
Step Three:
Your charms can be hung from door knobs, set in planters or hung on vine plants,
hung outdoors on trees or set anywhere you feel they will attract positive Chi.
Be inventive and creative, make this project your own.
Purple Gua Space Improvement Tips:
Bamboo is a sacred symbol to the Chinese,
and recently in North America a household variety of bamboo has been made
available as a small, water based plant. To encourage wealthy Chi, place
bamboo around in various pots in your home. Tie your bamboo planets
together with red ribbon to honour the spirit of the plant, and to bring
happiness to your home.
On Chinese New Years, it's custom for
continued wealth to have a dish made of each meat. This means dishes of
Pork, Chicken, Fish and Beef should all be present at your table for this one
night, to prove your abundance and to continue on your good fortune into the new
year.
On Chinese New Years it is also customary to put all sharp knifes, scissors or cutting implements away for the day. One would never wish to sever new, good luck by accident.
