Beginners’ Guide to Crystals: Part 4 – Increasing Prosperity with Crystals
Huat Ah! 🍊 The Year of the Water Tiger 2022 is fast approaching and it marks a fresh and prosperous beginning for all. If you are a crystal collector or just interested in crystals, this is the perfect article for you – we have compiled a guide from Feng Shui Masters on how to maximise your luck and prosperity with crystals this Lunar New Year!
Before we begin on how to increase your huat with crystals, we’ll briefly discuss the principles of the Feng Shui Bagua areas. The Bagua, or the Feng Shui energy map, consists of eight life areas, each of which is associated with different attributes. One can activate a gua through a colour, shape or element (Cho, 2021).
Take a look at our Bagua Guide below:
