Feng shui coins, also known as Chinese coins, are ancient Chinese currency replicas used as powerful symbols of wealth, good fortune, and protection. They are traditionally round with a square hole in the center, representing the harmony between heaven (circle) and earth (square). In feng shui, these coins are employed to attract positive energy, or “Qi”, and invite prosperity into various aspects of life.
Here’s a breakdown of how they’re used and their significance:
- Attracting wealth and abundance:
– Place them in the wealth corner of your house (southeast sector or the farthest left corner when standing at the main entrance facing inwards).
– Carry them in your wallet, purse, or business book.
