Dear Agnes,

Nowadays, due to the highly commercialization of Feng Shui, every object that can be sold has been given a `tag' as a Feng Shui enhancer or cure or neutralising agent.

For example, even in Chinese beliefs such as the three legged toad has been said to bring `good fortune'. Sometimes these objects are sold for more than US$50 or more and I am not too sure who has the better fortune?

The seller or the poor buyer who had just departed with US $50 or more?

Please see below:-

Usually, metal windchimes can be used as the equivalent of I Ching coins (6 coins) used as " Big metal " to cure bad earth or bad wood elements.

Alternatively, some FS practitioners advise the use of grand father clock i.e the tick-tock.. effect (as adding the sound of metal).

Wooden wind chimes can be used to enhance a sector that requires the wood element.

Here, it is simply looking at the Flying Star of a sector and finding out which element is needed to control another element.

Yes, 6 coins is usually used here to represent `Big Metal'. As it is primarily used to neutraise #2 sickness; #5 misfortune and #3 bad wood element.

The red string helps to bind the 6 coins together or control it.

Alternatively, some FS practitioners would sell their clients a piece of copper ruler. The COPPER RULER represents `Big metal' and is used in similar cures.

For all the above objects; avoid a similar concept such as `over eating' or over indulgence...

If he liked a wind chime and already `eyed' a location to place it, usually, this is acceptable.

But, if one purchase wind chimes or several wind chimes in the hope of enhancing the home, this is a different thing all together.

Placing several wind chimes is like trying out one's luck or the chances of placing it at a wrong location ... is a higher risks.
