The wonder of the Calabash
The Calabash is a powerful symbol of health, longevity and fertility. The feng shui Calabash is made from the dried fruit of plant also known as 'bottle gourd' or 'wu lou'.
The symbolism of the feng shui calabash was born from a medicine-related tradition by which Chinese doctors would use it to carry their herbs and medicines. This traditional use made the calabash become associated with healing and health-care in general.
Feng shui scholars say the shape of the calabash is a wonderful integration of Heaven, Earth and Man. It can also be suggested that the shape of a calabash is compared to an animal with fat body and narrow throat which will trap bad qi so it is not able to escape out.
This indicates the calabash to be among the most appropriate objects to help to dissipate or ward off malicious influences. Displaying a calabash by the bed would maintain that the bad energy which could negatively affect health is kept away while the person is sleeping. Prevention is preferable to having to cure an illness!
The calabash generally recommended as a feng shui cure is of the golden metal colour. According to feng shui study, metal lessens earth power - and the infamous harmful Flying Star, the “Monarch of Sickness” Star #2 is an earth-type energy which can bring disease. This annual Illness Star#2 occupies a sector of our home every year, bringing negative energy that could eventually lead to suffering and long-term illness. The use of the calabash in the area of your home that faces towards the direction of this star is the BEST cure against this star.
Display a calabash (as many as you can afford) in any part of your home to dissolve the negative qi (chi) energy that moves throughout a building on a daily, weekly, monthly and yearly basis. Place a calabash where you spend most of your time if there is a series of bad luck exerted on you. It will absorb bad energy (qi) to create good health and help bring good fortune to you.
