For the Birds

A few mornings back, while having my morning coffee on the patio, I couldn’t help smiling to the trill of the songbirds that have returned for the summer. It was like music to my ears. Did you know that in feng shui, birds are a symbol of wealth and harmony?  They are considered powerful symbols of all the new opportunities available to you.

Have you ever held a handful of those round white seeds that are often mixed with crunchy sunflower seeds? You can find them available in most home stores. When they are flung upwards, to  fall back to the earth, you’ve not only called our fine-feathered friends to dinner, it’s as if you’ve called a shower of blessings from above to your home and to yourself. As the seeds bring the birds to your home, the birds call good luck chi to your home in much the same way. To share abundance is to call abundance. It’s a good thing to remember when you put a feeder out for our bird friends.

Do you need good chi or auspicious luck in a matter? The placement of a feeder outside or an art display inside your home can be advantageous simply by placing the item in the proper baqua area.  Let’s say you are searching for a job, a feeder on the northern side of your home is most beneficial. Using a beautiful picture of birds, whether it is of peacocks or the illustrious phoenix, placing it along the northern wall on the inside your home can help accomplish the same thing. This is the career area, as you recall, and to stimulate the chi here is quite useful. You have invited fine-feathered luck to visit you. The next phone call you receive just may be the new job opportunity you’ve been waiting for.

The wealth corner, resting in the upper back left, can be inspired to call forth financial abundance by the placement of art objects representative of birds. A lovely music box decorated with birds and playing beautiful musical notes is doubly favorable. Another pleasing picture? That’s fine as well, just be sure to choose an item that will fill you with the same happiness that you are searching for.

Colors in shades of yellow, white, silver, pinks, oranges or magenta, displayed in your bird art, encourages chi to pass through. It will bring auspicious luck with it as it draws good favor from these auspicious colors.

Remember, when you use good feng shui in the placement of your birds, it becomes a most positive way to feather your nest!

Good luck should come flying your way.

Peace.
