Explore The Meaning of Most Popular Feng Shui Symbols
From my experience as a feng shui consultant, the level that creates a lot of confusion in many feng shui applications is the symbolic level.
Feng shui symbols have a rich, culturally specific history and meaning. Most of us are familiar with the look of many feng shui cures such as the three legged toads, wind chimes, Chinese coins tied with a red string, the Gods of Wealth, etc.
If you grew up in China, or are very familiar with the Chinese culture, then using Chinese culturally specific symbols will work very well for you in your feng shui applications.
However, if you are from a different culture, and do not resonate with specific Chinese symbols, you should use the energy of symbols that you are familiar with; in other words, the symbols that you emotionally respond to. Read more

Hi
Thanks for putting up all this info!
I wanted to know which symbols could be used in the bedroom for luck, prosperity, love and career and also which direction to have them in. I have a problem as I am renting a room in a house rather than living in my own place so can only really feng shui my room. Also I have my bed under a window as it is the only place I can have it, is there anything I can do to help my energy levels?
Many thanks
Maggie
