The Legends of Maneki Neko
Tama The Temple Cat
It is said that during the start of the Edo period during the17th century, in a rundown temple in the western part of Tokyo, lived a monk who kept a pet cat named Tama. Master and cat were so close they communicated almost instinctively. The monk said repeatedly to the cat, "Tama, I keep you and feed you despite my poverty. Can you not do something for this temple?"
One day, returning from a hunting expedition, Lord Hikone, was caught in a heavy downpour and took shelter from the rain under a big tree in front of the temple. Looking at the temple gates, he noticed that a cat was inviting him to enter the temple. The cat kept waving his hand until, intrigued, he left the shelter of the tree and ran towards the cat. Almost instantly, the tree he had been sheltering under was struck by lighting. Lord Hikone realised the cat had saved his life. In gratitude, he became the temple's benefactor and since that day, the temple prospered. When he died, Tama was buried in the temple grounds and in his honour, Maneki Neko was invented.
The Cat Who Saved The Courtesan
Another legend, said to have originated in the 18th century, describes the case of the cat who valiantly saved the famous courtesan Usugamo. She was well known as a lover of cats, and so she kept her cat by her side at all times. One night, while on her way to the toilet, her cat started pulling the hem of her skirt violently. Though she tried to chase it away, the cat did not stop the disturbance. Terrified by the cat's insistent action, Usugumo called for help. The owner of the house rushed to her and in a single swipe of his samurai sword, cut off the cat's head. The cat's head flew to the ceiling of the toilet, bit and killed a large snake hiding there ready to strike Usugumo below. Mortified, Usugumo mourned deeply over the mistaken death of her cat. To console her, the owner of the house presented her the cat's image carved out of aromatic wood. Many believe the image of the loyal cat was the origin of Maneki Neko.
The Image of The Cat of Imado
In the19th century, towards the end of the Edo period, an old woman who lived in Imado had a pet cat. She was so poor that one day she told her cat, "I'm sorry I have to abandon you – I can no longer afford to feed you". That night, the cat appeared in her dream and told her, " Tomorrow, gather some clay and fashion my image out of the clay. It will surely bring good luck to you". The old woman awoke and did as she had dreamed, made the cat's image in clay and discovered that the cat image attracted many buyers. The more the old woman made the Cat's images, the more customers visited her to buy them, so that eventually, she was no longer short of money. The cat's image in clay had relieved her from poverty. Many people say this was the true origin of Maneki Neko.
If you speak to modern Japanese who believe in the efficacy of their Lucky Cat, few are able to confirm if Maneki Neko indeed became popular in the nineteenth century when Japan was ruled by the Samurai classes. When the rule of the Samurai ended and modern Japan started with the Meiji period around 1870, Maneki Neko began appearing in many historical documents one after another.
Popularity of Maneki Neko
The popularity of Maneki Neko is due in part to Japanese merchants being generally a superstitious lot. Until today, these businessmen and traders always keep some Lucky Cat charm at the front or back of their stores, in the hope that the Maneki Neko will attract plenty of customers into their shops. The cat has since become indispensable for its role in bringing luck to build a thriving business.
Why is the cat so popular ? The reason lies in its lovely character. Men and women, young and old, fall in love with its round face and big eyes at first sight. This is probably why Maneki Neko appears in so many corporate advertisements.
The Paw of Maneki Neko
There are two variations of Maneki Neko. One raises its left paw. The other raises its right paw. The legend specifies that the one with its left paw up invites customers or people into your shop, while the one with its right paw up invites money. The origin of this legend is not clear. According to the research done by Maneki Neko Club, about 60% of Maneki Nekos have their left paws up. The majority of Maneki Nekos made in earlier times seem to have their left paws up. The left paw up, which invites customers, might be the original pose of Maneki Neko. However, people's lust for money in modern day Japan reflects the increasing number of Maneki Nekos with its right paw up.
The height of the paw also has a meaning. The range of height can be anywhere from around the mouth to well over the tip of the ear. According to legend, the higher the paw, the farther the Maneki Neko invites the customers from i.e. the greater will be its reach. Fascinating stuff!
The Color of Maneki Neko
Maneki Neko comes in different colours. The most popular are those that are tri-coloured. The tri-colored cat is considered a lucky charm worldwide. The male tri-coloured version is especially revered as the lucky cat by sailors around the world. Genetic study has revealed that the tri-colour gene in male cats are extremely rare. The rarity of male tri-coloured cats has been a well-known fact in Japan for a long time. This is why many Maneki Nekos are created to have the tri-coloured look.
Many Japanese business people would never think of having a restaurant, store, bar, or shop without the presence of the beckoning cat. As long as it has at least one raised forepaw they can take many forms. The cat is waving to us, asking us to come into the shop or asking good fortune to visit the establishment.
Modern exponents believe that Maneki Neko should carry coins or have coins dangling from their bibs to ensure wealth. More prosaic origins may be tied to an agricultural belief that cats kept pests away from crops or satin worms and thus aided prosperity of the family. There are many variations on the Maneki Neko and you may see the left paw or the right paw raised. It is up to you whether you want more sales turnover or more profit.
You may want a Beckoning Cat for your office or store to attract customers or in your place of business or house to attract good fortune. Placed near the front door of a store, it is said to attract new patrons. At home, you can put you Maneki Neko anywhere you want to attract good luck.
Auspicious Double Dragons Grasping a Pearl
The dragon is the ultimate symbol of auspiciousness. It is the most important symbol both in Feng Shui and in Chinese folklore. Double dragons grasping a pearl signifies power and authority. At its most powerful when displayed in the East sector of your home, the dragon can be placed anywhere to bring excellent luck into your household. This powerful symbol of good fortune also works extremely well for your business if you display it in your office.
The importance of knowing your house facing direction
The facing direction of your house is not necessarily the same as the facing direction of your main door. This issue has led to a great deal of confusion amongst practitioners, especially those wanting to benefit from the more advanced formulas of feng shui. It is beneficial and most important to know how to identify the facing direction of your house, and then to know how to take that direction correctly and with a good compass.
In many houses, both the main front door as well as the house itself faces the same direction. If this is the case, then it is usually a lot easier to determine the facing direction, as it will then be quite obvious. But this may not necessarily always be the case. When the door and the house face the same direction, it offers greater potential for better feng shui. But when they do not, then in determining the house facing direction for purposes of using the feng shui compass formulas, you should take the direction that best represents the facing direction of the house rather than the facing direction of the main door. When there is a main door in front that also faces the same direction as the house, you can take the direction from this door.
If there is no main door that corresponds to the facing direction, you will have to take the direction from a window or from glass or sliding doors that correspond to the house facing direction. If on the other hand there is no door or window here, then what you may have identified as your house facing direction cannot be taken to be the facing direction. According to feng shui, there must be at least some kind of opening towards the direction that is the “facing direction” of the house.
To benefit from many of the compass formulas, it is necessary to determine the facing direction of the house correctly and accurately.
To ensure this, first take a good look at your house from all angles. Often the facing direction is obvious to the eye and professional feng shui consultants usually undertake an on-site investigation to correctly determine the facing direction of any building or house they are investigating.
There are general guidelines that will help you determine the facing direction of your house, although there will be houses that present a real challenge. Houses that are designed along modular lines or are irregular in shape often pose some difficulty when it comes to determining their facing direction. For most houses and apartment buildings however, the following guidelines usually apply and you can use them as a guide to help you make a judgement regarding the facing direction of your own house or apartment building.
Direction Of Maximum Yang Energy
The place of maximum yang energy is usually a busy road where constant movement of vehicles creates an endless source of yang energy. Thus the facing direction of a house is usually where it faces a road, especially a busy or important road. When the road is busy, it is usually definitely the facing direction. Indeed, most feng shui experts agree that when the house or building faces a busy thoroughfare, it brings good feng shui to the house, since it is in a good position to accept the yang energy generated. Other places that can represent a large source of yang energy are a view of a city, a view of a market or a view of beautiful scenery.
Thus houses that are perched against a hillside and have a picture window view looking into a valley where there is a city will often use this as its facing direction and the entrance into the home would be regarded as its back or sitting direction.
The dominant view thus becomes the defining factor. A beautiful valley filled with a forest of trees is also considered to be a place of yang 39energy. Here, the forest houses many living creatures and the plants and trees there also emit copious amounts of fresh yang energy.
Or perhaps there is a large complex or public buildings where plenty of people congregate – then this is also a place of yang energy. Such places attract many people who are the source of activated yang energy. If your house has a feature like this nearby, then it can also qualify as the facing direction.
If you have such a source of yang energy near the vicinity of your home and you have an opening that faces such a place, then this would be the facing direction of your house. The opening can be your main door, or it can be some sliding doors, or it can be windows. If there is no opening to welcome in the yang chi, then this CANNOT be regarded as the facing direction.
Remember that there must be a door, a window or some kind of opening for chi energy to enter for it to qualify as a facing direction. When you have successfully identified your facing direction, you will be able to practise flying star feng shui with great confidence.
Special Circumstances For Apartments
It is necessary for those living in apartments to take note that when determining the facing direction of apartments or condominiums, it is the facing direction of the whole apartment building that determines the charts used to improve the feng shui of apartments.
So if you live in an apartment, you should always look at the whole building to try and determine the facing direction of the whole building. Having said this however, there are apartment buildings that truly have no clear cut facing direction.
Buildings where the ground floor is made up of car packs and where access to the apartments is via elevators placed by the sides of the buildings are examples of buildings where the facing direction will be a challenge to ascertain. My advice then is to look for the place of maximum yang energy. If there is more than one road near the vicinity of the building, you can identify the largest and busiest road and it is likely that that is the facing direction, especially if there is a door or an opening of some kind facing that direction.
Those of you living in high rise condominiums might also want to know that once you live above the ninth floor, the “facing direction” of your apartment is no longer determined by the building. Instead, your facing direction is now the direction that offers you the most extensive view. Usually, apartments have picture windows and here is where the family congregates each evening. If so, then this is the facing direction of your apartment

The arowana is said to emit strong vibration to enhance the surrounding aura and it is said to be able to foresee negative issues yet to happen. That is why those who rear the arowana could sometimes experience it hitting the walls of aquarium informing them of bad omen. To some extent, the faithful arowana would also jump of the aquarium to commit suicide so that negativities could be diffused in exchange for its life.
This being the utmost reason why the arowana is popularly known to obediently trigger abundance and prosperity for its owner. No doubt, it will definitely make wealth blessing to ones home because almost everyone who has an arowana will claim all the good wealth luck they are experiencing. Arowana is a rich man's fish and kept by many tycoons in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Indonesia and Malaysia.

a. North - for career luck
b. East - for enhancement of family well-being
c. Southeast - for wealth luck
d. Water star position according to Flying Star feng shui - for wealth luck
4. For bosses, managers and employees, if you are looking for more personal growth and money opportunities, it is recommended that you place the Arowana on the north location of your work desk.

What Money Frog symbolizes and how to place this object?
Money Frog (also called Three Legged Toad or Frog) is the divine version of frog, in which it has three legs only. It is considered as the most significant emblem of prosperity, wealth and money blessings in Feng Shui. It was said to have lived in the moon and its power became very pronounced during eclipse. Chinese legends had said the Money Frog was originally the wife of a legendary figure who obtained the Elixir of Immortality from Goddess of the West (Hsi Wang Mu). The naturally greedy her stole the elixir of immortality. She was punished by other deities of the heaven and transformed her into a three legged frog and sent to stay in the moon. Since then wherever people see the Money Frog, there is a bed of money surrounding it because being naturally greedy she craves for money. For generations, this mythical Money Frog became the holy creature that protects against misfortune and promised to bring to any household bigger enrichment in wealth. We're talking about creating abundance in wealth for serious Feng Shui practitioners.
The Money Frog is also often associated to Liu Hai, who was a capable Taoist Magic student. The Money Frog became his possession which could bring him to wherever he wants to go. When he couldn't find the Money Frog, he would use a string of coins as a bait to fish the Money Frog. That is why the picture of Liu Hai fishing for the Money Frog is ever so popular among the chinese because it represents extremely good money luck.
Traditionally, the Money Frog is usually depicted holding a chinese coin in its mouth and sitting on lots of gold ingots, coins and wealth. Sometimes the Money Frog will have a throne on its head to signify its king's authority of creating wealth. Besides, a bagua could also be carved on its back to protect against loss of money that had been gained. Some Money Frogs would also carry strings of chinese coins tied behind its back. The Money Frog normally has 7 dots of star pattern behind its back to represent 7 Great North Pole stars of the bagua, which fundamentally triggered the Feng Shui fundamentals.

2. For businessmen who wanted success, the Money Frog is a must to be placed at cash registrars, shop reception, treasurer's desk and safe and any part of business premise which deals with money and customers.
3. To invite more wealth luck, additional sources of income and career growth that eventually leads to more income, you may placed either one, three, six or nine Money Frogs randomly in your living room or garden, to signify them hopping as they bring lots of wealth and money scattering all over your home. They can be placed diagonally facing your main door and some inward facing, but never facing straight out of the door and they will never return. Feng Shui Masters believe they go out in the afternoon to collect money and return at nite with lots of money sticking on their feet. Treat them like frogs and not deities, therefore they can be placed on the floor or low. They can also be placed under chairs, tables and sofas or any other isolated places. If they are placed too high, they might be afraid to jump down and go out to look for money. They also cannot be placed in bedroom, kitchen and toilets.

Movement of water in a water feature is very important to correctly activate feng shui luck, the best and most desired type is the one that has a rolling ball mechanism incorporated in the water feature. The rolling ball crystal lotus water feature is the one endorsed to be correct for prosperity enhancement by classical masters. It is a natural crystal carved in the shape of a lotus which emits auspicious vibes which radiates further to be accumulated in the water that flows down into a bowl.

2.East is the direction of the dragon and is filled with the most cosmic breathe of the dragon. It benefits the whole family by bringing health, longevity and descendants luck. It also promotes growth. A good water feature here would feed the wood and let the energy blossom to realize your aspiration.
3. The southeast brings prosperity and belongs to sun trigram with its base element wood. The type of luck brought by activation of this area with water feature is increased in money and wealth, or simply higher level of regular income.
Classical Compass Feng Shui masters who practice Flying Stars Feng Shui often claim that the fastest and most promising method to improve finances is to find the auspicious "water star" (facing star) of the reigning number of the current period and activate it with a correct water feature. Although there are many theories about generating wealth, this system of feng shui gives the most faith to watch money start flowing in till richess is attained. The reigning number in Period 8 is "8" and it is this star that rules for this 20 year-cycle (ending 2024), therefore the wealth star is water star #8. This is the money spot of the house and where money luck can be harvested effectively. Once this water star #8 in any type of houses is activated, it promises prosperity for the whole household, irrespective of which period your house belongs to.
Another fine aspect to take note of is the secondary wealth corner. For all houses built in period 8 or being renovated into a period 8 house, placing an extra water feature in the Southwest in specific is considered very lucky. This is the "indirect spirit" of the property and activating the indirect spirit besides the water star #8 makes one even richer.

Windchime symbolizes

It accumulates benevolance. It is also said to symbolize blessing from seven northern stars which brings ultimate wealth luck and career luck. This windchime is normally used to nourish chi entry points to usher in good luck and can also be used to represent Wen Chang Pagoda in activating romance and scholastic luck when hung in Star #4 positions. Made with light metal, they produce very nice musical tones when blowed by wind. There are 5 tiers altogether in the shape of a pagoda to assure potency. The bells are to complement the tone and melody of the windchime as wind blows to usher in good fortune and wealth luck. There is also a hanging piece at the bottom which symbolizes longevity or "sau" in chinese.
What Windchime symbolizes and how to place the object?
Windchimes like baguas is a fundamental tool used in authentic Feng Shui. The advantage of a windchime is it can be use internally to dissolve shar chi. Windchimes are unquestionably the most powerful enhancer and cure for many Feng Shui situations. Windchimes are potent enough to maneuver and enhance chi wherever it is placed. They make a significant presence especially for those who do not want to spend too much money to modify buildings and large structures due to bad Feng Shui. Properly designed windchimes according to the rules of the nature do not invite ghost, but instead will chase away evil spirits with the tones of metal energy.
The proper design of windchime is important to ensure stimulation of good chi. Windchimes are made with 5, 6 or 8 rods, with each number representing hidden meanings.
1. 5 rods represents EARTH and attracts excellent chi and prosperity from 5 cardinal directions, namely North, South, East, West and Center.
2. 6 rods represents the "chien hexagram" from the studies of I-ching which carries the meaning BIG METAL and luck from heaven. Such a hexagram exerts the strongest form of metal energy which is required to counter problematic earth energy from flying stars #2 and #5.
3. 8 rods represents PROSPERITY BLESSINGS (fatt) and is the most popularly wanted number by Chinese.
As an important rule of thumb, 5 rods are best to suppress bad luck and bad chi (curing purpose), while 6 & 8 rods are best to attract good luck (enhancement purpose). The 6-rods are also excellent cure for bad flying stars for those who practise Xuan Kong Flying Star Feng Shui.
Next, the rods should be designed according to Feng Shui principles, they must be hollow to stimulate flow of chi through it and to produce proper melody with sound enhancement. A good windchime should not be overly heavy until it cannot generate any melody even upon wind blowing on it. The safest is to adopt windchime designs that are truly designed to feng shui principles. Some old fashioned chinese windchimes are usually added with fortune-bringing-bells and pagoda. Bells create strong tones and melody to attact money. Meanwhile, pagodas are powerful symbols to ward off evil spirits and also increase scholastic luck. Actually different number of tiers also represent different meanings for the pagoda:
1. 5-tiers Pagoda represents complete representation of the five elements, ie Metal, wood, water, fire and earth. It also represents the guardian of 5 directions by emperors. This leads to overall improvement of fortune and good luck, while overpowering or subduing bad luck coming from all the 5 directions.
2. 7-tiers Pagoda signifies seven treasures of Buddhism. It accumulates benevolance. It is also said to symbolize blessing from seven northern stars which brings ultimate wealth luck and career luck.
3. 9-tiers bring completeness and brings nobility, strength, good career, wealth and study luck. It also possess power to suppress bad luck and instability.
In terms of materials, if the purpose is to enhance luck, one can choose windchimes that are made from the element which is similar to the element of the direction they wish to enhance. For example, enhancement in West, Northwest and North must have the windchime made by metal (Copper, Aluminium, Brass or Stainless Steel rods). Next, windchimes made of bamboo and wood are good as enhancers in East, Southeast and South, while windchimes made from glass/clay can be used in Southwest and Northeast. However, windchimes are normally used as cure or remedy for tough situations in feng shui and seldom for enhancement. And in generally, you should not be worried to use metal windchime in any direction as the significance of the presence of a metal windchime overides element clashes in any directions.
This windchime design offered by Feng Shui Bestbuy is truly an ancient system with all the excellent qualities "all-in-one", used for centuries for Feng Shui purposes. They must be hung naturally in order for it to be activated.
We recommend the following locations for hanging of your windchimes:

2. Hang a 6 or 8 rod metal windchime to enhance annual Purple Star #9 (for happy events, life expansion and promotion). In 2006, this future prosperity star which promises long term wealth luck resides in the Southwest sector of your premise.
3. Acting as an alternative to bagua, 5 and 6 rods metal windchimes can also diffuse killing chi (poison arrows) from T-junction, lamp post, straight pole, tree and oppressing large building too close for comfort directly in front of your house. 5 and 6 rods metal windchimes can also remedy killing chi (poison arrows) coming from sharp angles, corners of buildings and roof ridges of your neighbours pointing at your front doors.

5. Windchimes nourishes chi, and turns any harmful chi that enter our homes into good chi, through any entry points such as doors and windows without us knowing it. For this purpose, you may hang either the 5, 6 or 8 rods metal windchimes at the door frames at the sides and not directly at the center.
