11JAN15 - Gold
Gold has always been an attractive metal to humans. Since the dawn of age, people have regard it as a precious metal and a display of wealth.
It is no surprise that gold symbolizes wealth used wisely, but it is also the symbol of good health. People who favor the color gold are optimistic.
An affordable yet elegant gold filled bracelet.
Gold Energy
The Tibetan Buddhist believes in 5 sacred stones: the crystal for light, turquoise for infinity of sea and sky, coral for life and form, gold for the golden ray of the sun, silver for the light of the moon. Gold is intimately linked with Divinity and those gods associated with the Sun. It symbolizes wealth and success.
It protects and opens you up to wisdom, prosperity, and all round success. Gold inspires virtue, moral excellence and nobility of the mind. Gold also lends a cheering influence to the wearer and promotes positive thinking/attitudes.
The Chinese also believe in wearing gold to 'increase' one's bazhi (a birth date formula), so it will help luck and health.

11Feb14 - Pyrite
Iron Pyrite, or also known as Fool's Gold, for its resemblance of real gold.
Last time miners would thought that they have stroked gold but in fact it was just pyrite.
Since they look almost like real gold, they are a symbol of wealth and good luck.
Due to its crystal properties, they are found in cuboid (cube) form. They are usually mixed
with other crystals and sand particles so it is quite rare to find a perfect cube of pyrite
Such a perfect piece of pyrite specimen would be very rare.
Pyrite might decompose into iron oxide and sulfate when exposed to air and water, especially in smaller pieces.
Pyrite has strong energy shield and it helps overcome inertia and the feeling of inadequacy.
It can also energize the area when you place it. ( like on your work desk)
Pyrite Sun. Golden ray of light radiates from it.
Pyrite SunMineralogists now believe that they are pyrite crystals formed between layers of slate and coal that simply had no room to grow in the traditional cubes that one normally finds pyrite. Formed 350 million years ago deep in the coal mines of Illinois, USA, each is unique.
Pyrite can also be found in Lapis Lazuli.

3. Avoid moving into new homes and opening new businesses this month as it is considered inauspicious and bad luck on new ventures.
4. Avoid getting married during this month because couples will have bad ending. Some bad ghost may cast a bad spell on couples during their wedding.
5. Avoid going for jungle trekking and going on camping trips as chances of injuries, possession and death are high.
6. Drive very carefully during this month to avoid accidents, as there may be many wandering spirits who died of accidents previously that are searching for next victims so that they could be reincarnated.
7. Do not call a person's name in full. They believe that the spirits will know their names and try to call them in the mid of the night to take over their bodies.
Wear an obsidian hulu bracelet to safeguard against bad spirits.
8. Avoid starting any construction work or engaging in renovation repairs at home such as fixing a tile or banging the floor and wall for the entire month.
9. Avoid spitting and blowing your nose in the street or at any tree/plant.
10. Do not leave open wounds unattended as this will attract ghosts in following you home. Keep them plastered at all times.
11. Do not make negative comments or crack jokes about offering items in the streets or poke fun about Chinese opera seen with empty chairs of Chinese communities. Those chairs are for the ghosts.
12. Do not pick up anything including money found on the street and never bring it home.

In summary, don't stay out too late outside or wander around unfamiliar trails.
Keep respect for the religion even if you are not Buddhist,or a free thinker.
Even your yang energy high by excising and enjoy a bit of sun.
Good protection crystals includes obsidian, citrine and jade.

Some said the shape of the wulou is also a wonderful integration of heaven, earth and mankind. Deities and taoist monks even use the Wu Lou to absorb bad evil spirits into it for imprisonment. Therefore Wu Lou has the potency to absorb bad chi and negative energy.
Wu Lou in its natural form is better than imitations from other materials. Unless it is made by potent material like metal or crystal which plays a significant role in maneuvering chi of our surrounding. To activate a wulou for feng shui purposes, it is essential to tie either a red thread or red ribbon around its "valley". Some natural wulou is even painted gold or added with special coins to absorb wealth luck. It becomes even more powerful when tied with red string and Chinese coin around it. What is more, some taoist masters write talisman and bagua onto the wulou for added protection and attracting some special luck.
The shape of wulou also resemble the number 8.
Wu Lou has many uses as cure and enhancer:
1. Display a wu lou in any part of your homes (as many as you can afford) to create good health and bring in good fortune and dissolving negative energy (chi).
2. Display or hang two wu lous (either in its natural form or made from metal) on both sides of the bed to heal ailments/sickness and rejuvanate the energy of sick people to quicken recovery
.
3. Display or hang a wu lou in the bedroom (or by the bed) to ensure any health problems is prevented. Prevention is better than cure!
