Tabletop Fountain and Figuine Decoration – How to Pick Figurines to Embellish Your Tabletop Fountain?

Tuesday, January 26th, 2010

Tabletop fountains have been legendary for their feng shui applications since centuries. It has been well-established in feng shui community that a well-designed tabletop fountain draws prosperity and abundance in one’s life. Not all the aspects of a tabletop fountain are good. One needs to be careful and aware of its awful implications.

Avoid the following three errors when using a tabletop fountain for your interior or office:

  1. Do not make the mistake of placing the tabletop fountain on the right-hand side of the door. By setting the water fountain on “left” side of the door, you fortify your relationships and avoid the risks of infidelity. Your love relationship may go through the risks of promiscuosness when you run a danger of positioning the water fountain in the right-hand side of the door. When you see the door from interior of the house, the side that summons on the right-hand side is the side that is unsafe for your marriage if you choose to position a tabletop fountain there.
  2. Proportionality between the size of the room and size of the fountain is critically important. Too much energy is produced from large sized water fountains (e.g. shishi odoshi) when they are not in balance to the size of the room, and ultimately results in destructive affect.
  3. Choose your figurines wisely. One should avoid placing the unsuitable thought eliciting statuettes (e.g. a ruthless looking dragon) by a tabletop fountain. positive thought invoking angel statuettes or fish statuettes should be placed near the water fountain for creative aesthetic beneficial environment.

Whether you are in the business of accountancy (e.g. NJ Accountant) or hair-cutting (e.g. NJ Hair Stylist), you are destined to enjoy gains of a tabletop fountain when you make sure to avoid the three serious elements as named above.

Feng Shui Tabletop Fountains & Their Benefits

Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009

Feng Shui was invented by the Chinese to heighten the energy patterns of their indoors in an aesthetic fashion. The literal translation of feng shui is “wind & water”. Traditional cultures of Asia had a lot of reverence for the Gods of Wind and Water. Pleasing the Gods of Wind and Water was one of their important rituals and was believed to bring good luck.

Feng Shui applications of water fountains are:

1. Water fountain flows by utilizing an electric pump. Water pumps were primal in Chinese culture because of the direct relationship with rice agriculture. Farmers who were able to use the pump technology were significantly richer than the rest of the farmers. Traditional Chinese farmers believed that a water pump brings in abundance of riches. Since then, a water pump has been associated with wealth. Symbolically, by using a a water pump in your water fountain, positive energy of riches and fortune is attracted. Furthermore, electric power galvanizes water into action. The combination of water and electricity is very fortified. When used carefully, these two forces, the yin and the yan, come together in water fountains as perfect feng shui elements.

2. Constantly recirculating water results in an enhanced indoor “qi”. The “khi” of indoors is improved because of the cascading water and the circulating air. The free movement of “khi” results in abundance of creative thinking and productiveness.

3. When green floras are added to the interior fountains, they produce oxygen and distill the quality of air. This increase air quality directly results in improved wellness.

4. Tabletop fountain creates a dribbling sound of water. This gentle sound of dribbling water is one of the most restful sounds to refresh and rejuvenate your mind from day-to-day stress.

5. The river stones and mountain rocks that are placed in the water fountains bring the centuries old retained energy with them. According to Feng shui traditional knowledge, this sublime energy lets loose your good luck and bring about positivity in your life.

When feng shui is applied in your household, it unleashes your creativity and helps you create the life that you have always desired. The ancient science of feng shui is believed to have profound impact in one’s life if used correctly.

The Power of Prayer

Thursday, October 16th, 2008

Excerpts from The Third Testament

Pray, but with true faith in the power of the prayer,

with a faith so great, that it surpasses the force of the weapons with which your brethren fight in life and destroy the peace of their fellowmen.

You, who have removed from your eyes those forms and idols that you used in the past to pray, you can practice the true prayer, because you no longer limit God as an ancient, nor do you allow the imagination to give a human form to that which has no form, because it is Divine.

When your body remains on the Earth and your spirit elevates himself toward the celestial mansions, when you pass through what you call death and rise toward eternity, you will comprehend how many false images your mind has formed; then you will feel how falsehood departs from your spirit, as if it were a veil which falls from the eyes, allowing them to behold the light of the truth.

How many also expect to reach the heights of Heaven to know Mary, whom they always imagine in the human form of a woman as She was in the world, mother of Jesus the Christ regarding to man and who they represent as a queen on a throne, beautiful and powerful. But I say to you that you should no longer give form in your mind to the Divine.

Mary, your spiritual mother, exists but she does not have a form of a woman nor any other form. She is the Holy and sweet tenderness, whose charity is extended in the infinite. She rules over the spirits and Her reign is that of humility, of charity, and purity, but She has no throne, as men imagine, with a most beautiful face. Her beauty is celestial, and the celestial you will never be able to comprehend.

I say to you, that if you wish to draw nearer to the truth and begin to enrapture yourself in its contemplation, you must persist in keeping away from your eyes and from your mind as many forms as you have created, attempting to give shape to the Divine.

When you come to understand that the Divine Master has much to teach and correct, you will allow My truth to penetrate your mind; and then you will behold how a new horizon will appear before your spirit, offering you fields, valleys, pathways and mountains, where you may travel to learn, to know and to elevate yourself spiritually.

Renaissance

Wednesday, May 28th, 2008

After centuries of false notions, the ideal of human power and potentiality was reborn in a period known as the renaissance. The dramatic transformation of worldview from the medieval era went hand in hand with a number of discoveries, innovations and inventions. The world was no longer flat and men and women were encouraged to broaden their thinking and create an open outlook. As we reflect on world history we know that periods of Renaissance were essentially periods wherein our right of freedom to think and express broke through old moulds of thinking and behaviour.

The “Information Age” has placed at our finger tips the ability to find out what is happening anywhere in the world, how to bake a cake or assemble a car; the history and meaning of words; the meaning of life; ready access to complex theories from our greatest scholars to those of our new thinkers. It provides us with art, history, everything imaginable and in every form possible, and even a ‘DIY’ guide to achieve enlightenment. But in this WEB of information we are yet to find our OWN truth and, further, find the time to live it! During the Renaissance, individuals with a medieval mind-set were left behind. Now in the Information and Communication Age, “medieval” thinkers are threatened with extinction.

Renaissance comes from the combination of the French verb renitre, meaning “to revive” and the noun naissance, meaning birth. And so after generations of knowledge and information, more of us are answering an inner call to rediscover, re-turn, re-vive, re-new our lives. Old paradigms are crumbling and new ones are being rapidly constructed in their place. The message is loud and clear, change or else the world will surely change you.

This ’spiritual’ Renaissance asks us all to begin an inner journey, one where we take time to absorb all that history tells us about ourselves, and to discover and honor the leader within. Leonardo Da Vinci, the Renaissance pioneer, taught us ‘curiosita’ – an insatiably curious approach to life and an unrelenting quest for discovery and learning. He taught us to question profusely and to change the form of questioning from time to time. For example, instead of asking how we can get to water, he said ask how we can get water to come to us. This was the start of the underwater pipeline.

This week let us question old attitudes and archetypes and turn a new page. The Renaissance that is dawning today is to seek the secret key to this happiness. This spiritual awakening is taking many out of the “box” and into the sphere of an open-hearted search to feel God’s love in their life. It will be the time where the African saying “it takes a village to raise a child” becomes a reality as each of us lives by values.

Om Shanti
