The Art of Placement, more popularly known as Feng Shui, is a belief dating from over 3000 years ago in China. It is called the Art of Placement because it focuses on the specific arrangement of things that would optimally bring in good luck or, more aptly, good Feng Shui.

An essential part of the Feng Shui practice is the taoist Yin and Yang Theory. This theory emphasizes a perfect balance of feminine (Yin) and masculine (Yang) energies that must be maintained at all times for a harmonized happy life which, in the practice of Feng Shui, manifests in the orientation of things.


The Bagua

Bagua - New Earth GiftsWhile good feng shui can be brought about by arranging items according to the flow of energy, many believe that the presence of specific crystals in certain points of your home or office are very beneficial. These certain points or areas are also called baguas in Feng Shui which comprise, essentially, the feng shui energy map that dictates the purpose of a specific area.

You can use the bagua by orienting yourself at the entrance of the room or space and use the map to identify key areas of the space and use this to position your furniture in the areas where they are most essential. For example, you could place your wedding picture at the relationship/love bagua area of a room or your work table in the career bagua area.

To bring in more energy to certain bagua areas or to your space overall, many Feng Shui practitioners absolutely recommend the placement of crystals to achieve maximum positive benefit. Just like the items in your home, these crystals also belong to a specific bagua area where they work best in bringing in harmony.

Carnelian is a stone popular for boosting creativity and courage and keeping away all unwanted negativity. If you work in a creative field or industry, you might want to place some Carnelians in your office as well! A Carnelian in double terminated form "doubles" the effect by channeling concentrated energy to both directions at once, creating an energy shield and effectively warding off the negativity!








Tiger Eye Stone Massage Great Piece - New Earth Gifts

Tiger's Eye

Tiger’s Eye is a very powerful crystal just like the animal it was named after. Like a tiger’s eye, it keeps a watchful eye on your space and is very protective of it. Trust this crystal to fend off negative energies. Aside from placing a Tiger’s Eye in your area, you might want to try using it as a massage stone and feel the security that comes with its protective presence.







Pyrite Specimens also Known as Fools Gold - New Earth Gifts

Pyrite

Pyrite is a very optimistic stone and is also very generous in sharing its great energy. Despite its overbearing look and cold, metallic appearance, you can really feel the energetic aura of the Pyrite. Aside from the happiness it brings, this precious crystal is a great defender which makes it an ideal stone for academic or business endeavors. It is for this reason that we recommend wearing Pyrite (just like this beautiful specimen which can be yours at an affordable price!)
