With the New Year come various ways, tips, and pieces of advice on how to usher in better luck.
In Tuesday’s episode of “Unang Hirit,” Feng Shui consultant Johnson Chua gave three tips on how to bring luck to your wallet this coming 2023.
1. Use a red wallet
Generally speaking, using a red wallet attracts luck when it comes to a person’s cash flow. But Chua also said using a brown wallet is ideal since it’s an “earth color.”
“Kahit ‘yung existing wallet mo, pwede pa rin maging swerte gamit ‘yung mga [lucky charm] na pwede mo ilagay sa loob,” he said.
[Even with your existing wallet, you can still bring luck by keeping lucky charms inside it.]
2. Putting money with the number “9” on it inside Ampao
The number 9, according to the Feng Shui expert, symbolizes power and success. So, keeping a bill with the number 9 on its serial number is considered lucky.
All you have to do is fold the bill, put it inside an Ampao (Chinese red envelope) and keep it in your wallet.
3. Keep lucky charms inside your wallet
Aside from using a red wallet and keeping a bill with a lucky number, another thing you can do to attract luck in your finances is to keep a lucky charm inside your purse, one of which is the Chinese Three Coin.
“The Chinese Three Coin tied in red strings [signifies] trinity: heaven, earth, and man,” Chua said. “‘Pag meron ka [nito] sa wallet mo, ibig sabihin ‘yung pera mo walang katapusan, mabilis ang ikot.”
[When you have this in your wallet, it means that your money is endless; the cash flow is fast]
There you have it. May we all attract good luck in the coming year! — LA, GMA Integrated News
As a seasoned expert in Feng Shui and its practical applications for enhancing prosperity and luck, I find great pleasure in shedding light on the insightful tips provided by Feng Shui consultant Johnson Chua in the article by Hermes Joy Tunac, published on December 27, 2022, at 2:22 pm.
Let's delve into the concepts discussed in the article to bring luck to one's wallet in the upcoming year:
1. Red Wallets and Earth Colors:
Feng Shui has a rich tradition of associating colors with specific elements and energies. Johnson Chua recommends using a red wallet, as red is considered auspicious and is associated with good fortune in Chinese culture. Additionally, he mentions that a brown wallet, being an "earth color," is ideal. This aligns with Feng Shui principles, where colors are believed to influence the flow of energy (chi) in one's life.
2. Number "9" for Power and Success:
The emphasis on the number "9" reflects the significance of numerology in Feng Shui. According to Chua, the number "9" symbolizes power and success. Folding a bill with the number "9" on its serial number and placing it inside an Ampao, a Chinese red envelope, is believed to attract luck. Numerology plays a crucial role in Feng Shui, where specific numbers are considered auspicious and believed to bring positive energies.
3. Lucky Charms, Especially the Chinese Three Coin:
Keeping lucky charms inside the wallet is another practice suggested by Chua. In particular, he mentions the Chinese Three Coin tied with red strings, symbolizing the trinity of heaven, earth, and man. This charm is believed to ensure endless money and a fast cash flow. This aligns with the broader Feng Shui principle of incorporating symbolic objects to attract positive energies and enhance the overall well-being of individuals.
In conclusion, these Feng Shui tips offer practical and symbolic ways to invite good luck and prosperity into one's financial life in the coming year. The blend of color symbolism, numerology, and the use of lucky charms reflects the holistic approach of Feng Shui in creating harmony and positive energy in various aspects of life. May these insights guide you towards a prosperous and fortunate New Year!
