The Low-Down on Feng Shui Crystals
How did you feel when you first learned that there was so such thing as the Easter Bunny or Santa Claus? As a child, you may have been hurt or upset, but looking back on it now as an adult, do you see how silly it is to believe in those things in the first place?
You may be in for another upset if you have been using crystals that you thought were fung shui. In the world of true feng shui, there are no crystals.
As this practice came to the western parts from ancient China, it began to be intermingled with New Age hocus pocus, which really adulterated the true art form. Many unscrupulous individuals realized that they could slap a feng shui label on virtually anything and sell it to unsuspecting customers, and one popular item along these lines is the so-called feng shui crystals.
But before you start to feel hurt or betrayed the way you did when you heard about Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny, lets talk a bit about the true use and history of feng shui crystals and see if perhaps some logic and reasoning might help you out a bit.
The Original Feng Shui Art
Feng shui is not a hard art to follow. Since many people do not totally understand it, they assume it is harder than it is. An expert is not needed to explain in detail how to use feng shui. Due to so many people believing that you do need a reader, wrong information has been added to this ancient art. Among these is the use of crystals.
Feng shui really is all about balance, harmony, peace, and positive energy. There is no magic bullet or talisman that can bring these elements into your life. For instance, if you and your spouse refuse to talk to each other or if youre hiding a secret affair, all the crystals in the world are not going to give you a peaceful marriage. Hang all the feng shui crystals over your bedroom mirror that you want, and there will still be disharmony and chaos in your relationship.
One vital aspect of feng shui is de-cluttering your life. It is true that sometimes negative life elements affect us more than the positive ones. If you remove useless, old things that don’t bring anything positive and just drain us or depress us, this can do wonders in ushering in the positive energy we are seeking. De-cluttering encourages way more positive energy than any feng shui crystal could ever do.
When Feng Shui Crystals Can Be Useful
Of course, some people simply like the look of crystals, whether they are by themselves or are crystal ornaments. They do reflect light and can add a certain brightness to an otherwise dark corner or room. If you enjoy your crystal knickknacks for this reason, or just like looking at that crystal dangling from your rearview mirror, then theres nothing in feng shui principles that says that you must get rid of it.
