Lucky items to give your home good vibes

By Pujashaktti Astrologer

Burn incense

burning incense dates back to ancient times and is still used in many different cultures, primarily to cleanse the home of bad energy. Once the smoke clears, supposedly any negativity does too.

If you haven’t used incense before, try frankincense – it’s the most commonly-used resin and you’ll likely recognize its warm, spicy scent.

Rosemary and sandalwood are also praised for their cleansing properties.

Bring in bamboo

The bamboo plant is touted as one of the most effective feng shui cures for luck.

You really can’t go wrong with this versatile plant: not only is it a smart addition to your home, but it’s also supposed to lift your mood and bring you peace and good fortune.

Palms, orchids, and money trees are considered lucky too.

Hang a horseshoe

It’s traditional to hang a horseshoe over the door, in order to bring luck to all who enter. And how you position it is up to you.

Some say pointing the shoe upwards ensures your good luck never runs out. Others think facing it downwards allows the luck to flow into the lives of those who walk beneath it.

Whatever you believe, a horseshoe is a nice way to add character to a plain front door too.

Burn sage

white sage has been used to drive out bad energy and keep your home safe from unwanted visitors. It is even thought to have healing properties and may be effective in calming nerves or, some say, clearing the air after an argument. To use, burn a sage plant and allow the smoke to fill all the corners of your home. If you feel like it, say a mantra or voice your hopes and dreams out loud as you do.Incense can be burned during times of meditation, prayer, general reflection or to help cleanse and clear the air and make a space sacred. Native Americans burn bundles of sage, known as smudge sticks, to help clear the air of negative energy.

Fill your fruit bowl

Different fruits are thought to carry different meanings in feng shui – for example, apples are associated with peace, while peaches represent immortality.

Nine oranges in a room are said to ward off bad luck, while pomegranates are believed to promote fertility.

Crystals

In the bathroom, keep Rose Quartz by your skin products – it’s thought to bring positive energy and is also known to promote self-love and self-care.

Selenite and Amethyst are supposed to help calm and soothe you, so they work well in the bedroom.

Hang a dream catcher

The dream catcher is designed to capture nightmares and evil spirits, making the owner happier and more balanced.

These attractive items usually have a web-like design and are decorated with beads and feathers, so they’re a treat for the eye as well as for your mood.

Salt lamp

These decorative lights are carved out of pink Himalayan salt and are known for their range of health benefits.

Using a salt lamp supposedly cleans the air in your home, soothes allergies, boosts your mood, and even promotes a night of more restful sleep.

Love elephants

The elephant is a symbol of wisdom and strength.

Bring some of their peaceful vibes into your home with some beautiful artworks or ornaments featuring these gentle giants. A statue of a pair of elephants with their trunks raised above in the air should be kept at the main entrance of the house or office according to Vastu Shastra. Doing so brings happiness and good luck to the family. There remains a state of harmony between all the family members and positive energy is communicated in the house.
