Enhance Your Luck With These Auspicious Must-Haves For The Home
Usher in money, good luck, and fortune by sprucing up your home
Feng shui has been a long-standing practice, especially in the Philippines where we have a strong affinity towards Chinese traditions and cultures. This is why it’s not surprising that many Filipinos, even those without Chinese blood, believe and follow feng shui traditions to attract luck and keep the bad juju away.
Feng shui dates back to 4,000 B.C., and is a practice that seeks to use energy forces to harmonize individuals with the environment that surrounds us. There’s much to say and learn about feng shui, but one of its basic building blocks is the Qi or the life energy that flows through all things in nature—humans included. Using feng shui, we can help the Qi within us and around us find balance and stay in balance.
With Lunar New Year almost upon us, we’ve curated a list of charms, décor, and crystals that would help you usher in wealth, good luck, and fortune in your homes. Based on feng shui practice, these items work to bring balance to your inner and home Qi. And since they look nice and decorative enough, you’ve really got nothing to lose and everything to gain!
Check out the gallery below for our list of lucky trinkets and décor for you and your home.

Lucky Bamboo
For plant enthusiasts, a lucky bamboo would be a fresh and lucky addition to your home. In feng shui, lucky bamboo is said to bring peaceful and wise energy into the home, teaching the ultimate lesson of the bamboo: becoming flexible and open so that the spirit can flow freely and heal your being. Surprisingly, however, the lucky bamboo plant is not made from actual bamboo. It’s usually made of dracaena sanderiana stalks that have been braided together. You can order these quaint lucky bamboo pots from House of Plants Manila and place it in your wealth area.

Money Tree
For something that’s a bit bigger, why not get one of these giant 4-ft money trees from Pananim.ph? They come in nice locally woven tampipi baskets, too! In feng shui, the pachira aquatica has been named “the money tree” because of a famous tale from Taiwan that tells the story of a poor farmer who prayed for money and found this plant on his way home. Taking the plant as a sign that his prayer has been answered, he started selling plants grown from its seeds and became very rich.

Patchouli incense
Burning incense is a great way to cleanse your home in preparation for the upcoming year. Burning incense goes both ways—the smoke clears the negativity that’s still lingering in your home, and also attracts good energy depending on the incense that you choose. Patchouli, for example, is a great incense for money, prosperity, and fertility spells. Try the patchouli sweetgrass incense from P.F. Candle Co. for a long and lucky burn. Each incense can burn for about an hour.
