Bell ringing has long been attributed to special properties.It was believed that it protects from evil spirits, protects against the evil eye and other negative influences. The bells were rung not only in connection with church services, but also on days of dramatic events or epidemics.
Many Slavic peoples in the old days it was customary to wash in springs and springs when the bell rings. This allegedly promoted health, and helped the girls get rid of freckles and become more beautiful. And under the Christmas bells ringing red girls gathered to tell fortunes about marriage. The greasy plaque that was removed from the bells during cleaning was used by our ancestors as a healing ointment against various skin diseases.
Nowadays, researchers from the Institute of the Lithosphere decided to check whether the miraculous beliefs about it are at least partially true. They managed to find out that ringing bells emit ultrasonic waves, which inhibit the vital activity of many pathogens - for example, they destroy influenza viruses, jaundice, typhoid bacillus and other infectious agents.
In the old days, small bells were also endowed with no less power. Most often bells were used as amulets, sewing them on clothes as protection from the evil eye and damage, hung over children's beds, hung them on trees near burials ... They also believed that medicine poured into a bell or plain water cured ailments, especially those related to the organs of speech. For example, the Serbs gave the children water from a bell to make them speak as soon as possible.
Before the invention of electric bells, bells were hung over the entrance to a house, over a gate or a wicket, and tied around the neck of livestock. This was done not only so that the owners could hear when a guest would come, or so that the cattle would not get lost. The ringing of bells also dispelled "unclean" energy and protected cows, sheep and goats from witchcraft and other unkind things.
Now in stores of esoteric goods you can find special bells, which, according to ancient Chinese teachings, should be hung over the doors to cleanse the space and attract positive qi energy into the room. But in order to make the bell "work", you need to follow certain rules.
First of all, you shouldn't buy Chinese plastic bells - they are "lifeless". Only artifacts made of metal, crystal or clay can be purchased.
A bell made of silver or steel is most suitable as a talisman for a home. It should be hung where air flows constantly, for example, on a window or above the front door, where a draft will swing it.
It is desirable that the length of the thread or rope on which the bell will be hung is 7 centimeters - this is a sacred number. Any color will do. You can braid three strands into a pigtail to enhance the magic of the bell. In this case, one thread should be red, the other white, and the third black. The threads or ropes must be of natural origin - wool, linen, cotton or hemp.
You can hang the bell on the curtain or next to it, tie it to any decorative element - bow, frill, lambrequin. But curtains and decorative ornaments should not be dark - the latter absorb the negative anyway. In addition, make sure that no direct electric light falls on the bell, otherwise its power will be neutralized. But direct sunlight is even shown to the amulet.
If your bell is made of crystal or clay, then it should not be large in size. You need to hang such bells on a red satin ribbon, the edges of which are wrapped in black or white thread.
There should not be too many patterns on the bell. But if there are no drawings at all, then take red ink and draw three stripes in a circle.
If the bell cracked, this indicates an attack from some " dark forces". In this case, it should be replaced. Also, if you notice that the ringing of the bell has changed, it has become "sadder", or it has stopped ringing altogether, then the amulet has exhausted its strength.
When you buy instead of an old one, it must be larger in size. But you shouldn't throw away the old bell - cover it with bread crumb from the inside and hide it in a secluded place. After a year, you can start using it again - say, not at home, but in the office.
The bell can also become your personal amulet.To do this, you should wear it on the key like a key chain. If there are any difficulties on the road, for example, public transport does not come for a long time, you cannot catch a passing car, take out your "amulet" and ring them, "commanding" the problem to be solved. The result will not be long in coming!
Those who dream of meeting their “soul mate” need to hang them at home or carry with them a bunch of two paired bells. Their ringing will quickly attract a potential partner to you.
Nowadays, when entering a house, office or store, you can see Feng Shui pendants from tubes or Feng Shui bells hanging on the door. They are also called "music of the wind" Feng Shui. They often fit well into the interior, as they are very beautifully decorated and look quite aesthetically pleasing, but nevertheless their main advantage is the purification of the space. These “pretty gizmos” reduce the negative energy in the room and help resolve conflicts.
Feng Shui wind music
It is recommended to hang the "wind chime" Feng Shui in those places where there are air fluctuations, so that these Feng Shui bells would periodically ring, making pleasant and useful sounds. They are also sometimes called air bells, or wind chimesor chinese bells... In order to choose the right feng shui air bells, you first need to determine what you want to get from them and, of course, you need to choose the right direction for placement.
What should be feng shui bells or "wind chimes"?
bells feng shui Due to their design, these are vertically suspended hollow tubes, between which there is a "pendulum tongue" (it strikes the tubes) and the whole structure emits a pleasant melodic sound. Feng Shui bells perfectly convert negative energy into positive energy in the cavities of their tubes. This is the basic rule of "correct" bells - the HOLLOW tubes.
The next thing you need to pay attention to when choosing this talisman is the material from which it is made. There are metal (aluminum, copper, brass or even silver), wood or bamboo, glass or ceramic (porcelain), clay.
The number of pipes in the Feng Shui “wind chime” is also very important. In China, bells of seven, eight or nine tubes are believed to sound best. Looking ahead, I want to say that they meet with a different number of pipes (two, three, four, five, six) and are also widely used. But let's talk about this further.
Where to hang the "wind chime"?
to protect 5 tubes Before answering the question "where to hang?" you need to decide for yourself what you want from this talisman. With it, you can protect your home from negative energy or use it to activate energy in a particular sector.
For protection:
In places where energy stagnates and it needs to be given movement (these can be places formed by sharp or right angles of the walls of the room). Periodically touch the “tongue” of the bell so that a pleasant melodic ringing “is born” and the talisman works in full force.
In long narrow corridors or if the door is opposite the window, in this case the energy rushes in a rapid stream without lingering in the room. By hanging the Feng Shui “wind chime” here, you will help positive energy to linger and disperse throughout the house.
Outside, for example, if there are "secret arrows" outside the window (to neutralize the Feng Shui bell, hang in the window opening).
Above the front door, to cleanse the energy entering the room.
According to the general rules of Feng Shui to protect a room from sha-chi, "wind chime" should be placed as follows:
Wind chime bamboo - Metal bells in the north, west and northwest sectors.
- Wooden or bamboo in the east and south - east sectors.
- Ceramic (porcelain) in the northeast or southwest sectors.
For protection in traditional feng shui, air bells with five tubes are usually used.
To activate by sector:
Sector Helpers and Patrons
(Northwest) for gaining support in life - metal "wind chime" Feng Shui with 6 tubes.
Love Sector
(Southwest) to improve existing relations or to attract new ones - ceramic (porcelain) "wind chime" with 2 tubes.
Children and Creativity Sector
(West) for the implementation of creative plans, to improve relationships with children or if you want to have a child - a metal air bell with 7 pipes.
Career Sector
(North) to move up the career ladder. Obtaining new opportunities for self-realization in the service or changing jobs for a better one - metal "wind chime" feng shui with 6 or 7 tubes.
wind chime metal Study and Self-Improvement Sector
(North-East) for self-improvement or successful study - ceramic air bell made of 8 pipes.
Family Sector
(East) to improve relations in the family and with one's environment - wooden "wind chime" with 3 tubes.
Wealth Sector
(South-East) to improve the financial situation - wooden "wind chime" with 4 pipes.
Success Sector
(South) for success and self-realization in life - wooden "wind chime" of 9 pipes.
The number of pipes must correspond to the number of the selected sector.
According to the ancient Eastern teachings called Feng Shui, the bell is a powerful apotropic and talisman. The bell has the properties of protecting the house from negative energies, and its ringing from the slightest breath of breeze brings both good luck and happiness.
Where can you hang this talisman?
If you hang the bells in front of the entrance to the house or directly above the front door, then their ringing will drive away all negativity, evil energy and unhappiness. To attract good luck in the love sphere to the house, it is necessary to hang such a bell in the bedroom, preferably above the headboard. It will also have a good effect on family relationships. For healing, healing or maintaining good health, bells can be hung by the windows so that they can protect against incoming diseases. If the purpose of hanging the bells is to attract good luck in the financial sphere, then a favorable place for the bell ringing is the kitchen (it is advisable to hang it over the table).How to make a talisman like a bell work?
Hanging bells is a kind of ritual. And in order for the bell to start working, it is not enough to hang it in the right place. The bell must be charged with a certain positive energy by putting it on a ribbon of any color. The red color of the ribbon brings love and loving harmony, while the green color has a beneficial effect on health and financial condition. The blue ribbon brings happiness to the house, as well as success and good luck in all endeavors.An important factor is that while the bell is hung on the ribbon, you need to think and make secret desires that are important to you. The more desirable the conceived, the greater the likelihood that the wish will come true!
The famous soothsayer Vanga also said that the house must hang bells above the threshold and above the windows.
Bells - defenders and strong amulets for the house and everyone who lives in it.
And Wanga also said that bells not only protect the house from evil forces and bad people, but also contribute to attracting into it of money and well-being.
You can hang any, but it is better if bells,hanging in the house, made do it yourself... In this case, they absorb the energy and warmth of the hands of their creator and become alive.
How many bells Vanga advised to have in the house and where it is best to hang them, I will tell you a little later.
I now give the floor to Tatiana Tkachenko.
Once Tatiana already talked about how to make a bell with her own hands from a plastic bottle. This master class is located here.
But today her idea, in my opinion, is even more interesting. So…
Charms for the house: Hand bell
The New Year holidays have come to an end, but so that the farewell is not so sad, I suggest you make a bell for the Christmas tree.
It can also serve not only as a New Year's toy, but also as a decorative interior decoration, a talisman for the house or a magical item to attract money, as the famous soothsayer Wang advised.
I rely on your discretion. I give you an idea, and you rework it, make your own changes and create with inspiration.
Well, we will return to Vanga's advice after we make the bell.
After all, we make a bell not only with our own hands, but also with our imagination.
Now let's get back to the idea. What is it?
Everything is very simple! More than once I have bought in supermarkets a leaf salad with roots in a pot, which has its characteristic holes. It is possible that an ordinary flower pot is also suitable for a bell, but I have not tried it, so I can not advise anything.
I made the bell with my own hands in one breath and as a result - not a single photo of the process itself. My husband was at work, and I worked tirelessly. Therefore, I will try to describe everything in words.
Hope it is clear. Well, if something is not clear, then ask questions and I will answer them.
Using a glue gun, try not to apply the drawing with a large mass, but "draw" the curl, let the glue cool and only then resume work.
Do not hurry, otherwise, in an instant, you can ruin the whole bell with your own hands.
Working with plasticine is much easier than using a glue gun.
But it will take longer. But the pattern can be laid out more interesting.
We apply decor with plasticine and glue gun only with outside bell.
If you apply patterns with a glue gun, then let the product dry. The plasticine pattern can be painted as soon as you have pasted it on.
Cover the whole bell with red acrylic paint... Dye tightly, without gaps.
Now, while the bell is drying, take the cord and measure about 20cm using a regular ruler or measuring tape.
This part of the cord will loop at the top of the bell.
For a pestle, you need no more than 4cm.
Two rondels glued together
But don't forget to move the rondel so that it sticks with the cord. I have two rondels outside and one inside the bell, but the shape of the rondels is different. Therefore, in this matter, you can make your own corrections and your ideas.
Finally, connect both ends of the cord, slide them through the rondels and glue to the top of the bell. It is advisable to glue the rondels together (see photo). Let the entire structure dry.
Hooray!!! The hand-made bell is ready!
Haven't you removed the tree yet? If not, then hang it on the tree for now. Even if not for long, this cheerful and bright bell will delight you and your family.
Anna will tell you where to hang it and how many bells it is best to have in your house.
The magic of wealth. Items to attract money
The magical properties of bells
There are a lot of Vanga's advice on what items you need to have in the house in order to attract money and prosperity. The bell is the third magic item of all that Wanga advised. He not only attracts money, but also protects the house from evil forces and bad people.
"MUSIC OF THE WIND" (AIRBALLS) HISTORY OF THE ORIGIN OF HANDS
In the early stages of feng shui theory, buildings associated with their occupants through what the Chinese called "the sound of the house." When the Chinese talked about the "sound" of the house, they were actually talking about its elements, because the five notes of the Chinese musical scale were related to the Five Elements. The note "do" was equivalent to the element of Earth, "re" was equivalent to Metal, "mi" represented Wood, "salt" represented Fire, and "la" represented the Water element. Five notes of this scale should be in tune. If "before" was lame, the ruler could turn out to be arrogant, if "re" - the fault lay with his ministers, if "mi" - an uprising should be expected from the people, if "salt" - problems in trade should be expected. Fake "la" foreshadowed natural disasters. If this scheme was applied to the government of the state, then all the more it could be applied to a separate house; the head of the house was the ruler, the wife the advisor, the people were played by family members and servants, while trade and natural disasters are easily correlated with the various problems of the family itself. The way to fix home problems was through setting the correct key at home. It is from here that the use of wind chimes originates, which are ubiquitous and, of course, accepted as a means of correcting feng shui.
Traditionally, a single bell was placed in the house, the sound of which corresponded to the energy of the owner of the house. The widespread use of various pendants from pipes and bells began in the last decades of the twentieth century.
CORRECT PLACEMENT AND USE
Chinese air bell of the servant of transformation of subtle energies. Correct selection and the placement of the bell leads to the purification of energy in the place of its placement and in the whole room as a whole.
What should be the bell? An air bell consists of several hanging vertically hollow tubes and a “tongue-check” striking the tubes - the result is a melodic sound. The bell tubes must be hollow - energy gets into them and it is transformed into them. If this condition is not met, then you get a simple decoration without any additional useful functions.
As the material from which the main elements (tubes) of this popular feng shui instrument are to be made, use:
Wood (bamboo works best *);
Metal (steel, aluminum, copper or, if wealth allows, silver and gold);
Porcelain (ceramics).
Air bells are placed in places where the energy of a certain element is activated.
1.If the bell is to save you from the influence of unfavorable energy, it should be chosen as follows:
For the east and southeast, choose a metal bell;
For the northeast and southwest - a wooden bell;
For the north, choose a ceramic bell.
The material of the bell was chosen in accordance with the classic circle of damage; for each side of the world, a material is selected that oppresses the elements of this direction.
The next important consideration for the selection of protective bells is the number of tubes in them. So, to protect against negative energy, there should be five tubes.
2. Now we will consider the rules for choosing and placing bells to activate the energies of certain cardinal points and, accordingly, improve the selected types of luck. To achieve this effect:
Hang a wooden air bell in the east or southeast. The bell for the east should have 3 pipes, for the southeast - 4.
Place a ceramic bell in the northeast or southwest. The northeastern bell should contain 8 tubes, the southwest bell 2.
Hang a metal air bell in the west or northwest. In the west, hang a bell with 7 pipes, and in the northwest with 6.
The material of the bell is selected in accordance with the element of the cardinal point (not to be confused with the classic circle of spawn). The number of rods is calculated according to the distribution of numbers in the Lo-Shu square.
VALUES OF BELLS
BELL SUSPENSION ... This kind of pendant is best suited for temples and monasteries. It should not be hung in the house, since it attracts spirits that live in the upper part of the pendant.
SUSPENSION-PAGODA ... The pagoda symbolizes a peaceful sky overhead, serenity and peace in the house. It is considered optimal for dissipating negative energy, serves as a protective talisman for the residents of the house.
ROUND SUSPENSION in the form of a heavenly circle - a symbol of completeness; harmony and abundance. It is especially suitable for the hallway and living room.
SUSPENSION-FISH - a symbol of good luck and prosperity.
PHOENIX BELL and the main symbols of feng shui brings happiness.
MOBILE OBJECTS
Moving structures, windmills, silk flags or pennants are used to improve qi circulation and prevent energy from accumulating and stagnating in the corners of rooms. Watches also add an element of movement, but when choosing them, you must be guided primarily by considerations of personal experience and common sense. Moving objects can be placed where you would like to stimulate chi energy. For example, a movable structure in the northeast corner of a children's bedroom will help circulate the energies associated with knowledge and education.
BAMBOO FLUTES
Bamboo flutes are a powerful talisman that brings good luck and protects from evil. Some of the qualities associated with bamboo flutes are:
Peace, security, strength and longevity are symbols of bamboo;
Gradual improvement of life: each next section of the bamboo flute is longer than the previous one;
Development and prosperity: strong growth., Bamboo stalks symbolizes good luck in business;
Spiritual blessing: The bamboo flute symbolizes enlightenment and illumination.
The appearance of the flute and the way it is suspended are important. The flute should be made of bamboo with intact bridges between the sections. You cannot use a flute with polished ribs as a talisman. It is best if each next section is longer than the previous one: this symbolizes the gradual improvement of life.
The flute should hang from a red cord or ribbon with red tassels where the ribbon is attached. Hang the flute so that the shorter sections are pointing downward and the longer ones are at the top.
Bamboo flutes can be used to dissipate the negative energy generated by ceiling beams. Hang a pair of flutes from the ceiling beam at a 30 degree angle from the horizontal with the holes pointing down. Tying them with a red ribbon will bring good luck.
PLANTS
Plants are also the source of this energy, symbolizing life and refreshing the atmosphere in the home. Plants must be taken care of by watering them on time so that they do not dry out, since then they will no longer be a source of qi. Blooming plants with their color will help you activate certain elements.
Plants can be used to stimulate qi in the corners of rooms and to revitalize spaces that are not being used. They are great at smoothing out sharp corners and reducing the negative effects of "arrows", especially if the pots of plants mask the corners bookshelves or office furniture.
Plants with sharp leaves contain more yang and make the qi move faster. Plants with rounded leaves reflect the yin qualities more.
All plants are associated with the tree element, so they should be placed: to reinforce the fire element - in the southern parts of the rooms; to reinforce the earth element - in the center, in the southwest and in the northeast.
The best plant rooms are the living room and dining room. Plants should be placed carefully in the kitchen and bedroom. In bedrooms, a slight predominance of yin energy is desirable and the many colors in this place can affect the peace of your sleep. There are hypotheses that some plants extract energy from a person, violate his biofield - this is another reason for removing living plants from bedrooms.
Cacti and other thorny plants should not be placed very close to people, especially in the southwest - in the area of \u200b\u200bhuman relationships. However, some authors advise placing them on the windowsill as a kind of "mental protection" from thieves.
Artificial plants and flowers are less effective, but can still stimulate qi movement if kept clean and dusty with a damp cloth regularly. Dry plant compositions do not in principle affect energy balance. If you have them, keep them in the least accessible places and change them according to the season.
PAINTINGS
Pictures are especially powerful symbols. They should only be selected based on personal taste. In accordance with the principles of feng shui, in the house they can occupy either a very noticeable position, or not at all. If what is shown in the picture is associated with five elements or their symbols, then the picture should be placed in the place corresponding to this element. For example, the ideal location for a painting depicting a couple in love is the southwest side, which is related to family relationships. However, a picture depicting a lonely traveler wandering along a deserted beach is unlikely to be appropriate there. Beautiful landscapes bring good luck in life. Pictures of waterfalls increase the well-being of residents. The picture must necessarily show the reservoir where the water falls - the place of accumulation of qi.
Mirrors
Mirrors attract and transmit qi energy, which is why they are used in feng shui in different ways.
When one of the zones of the Bagua octagon is missing in a room or in a house due to the peculiarities of the layout, the mirror can create a "presence effect" and restore balance. Reflecting the harmful effects of sharp corners, the mirror directs the flow of energy along a narrow or obstructed passage. Mirrors are also used to visually mask certain places - for example, if the toilet is located next to the front door.
Another property of mirrors is the ability to double the qualities of the objects they reflect, so it is important to place something useful or pleasant in front of the mirror. The ideal use for a mirror can be found in a dining room, where it will reflect food on the table, which is why mirrors are so often seen in upmarket restaurants. However, it is nowhere near as good if the mirror reflects the food that is being prepared in the kitchen.
Use the mirrors in the bedroom with extreme caution. The mirror should not reflect the matrimonial bed, as this creates a "double image" of marriage, unfavorable from the point of view of feng shui. Also considered unfavorable is the location of the mirror in front of the toilet or front door... In the latter case, the qi energy that has just “entered” the house is immediately reflected back.
The hallway mirror should be large enough to reflect the full image, especially when it comes to a person. Arrange the pieces of furniture around the mirror so that they do not hinder the reflection. Ideally, the mirror in the hallway shows all family members well, that is, it does not “cut off” the legs of children and the heads of parents.
Pay particular attention to the edges of the mirror. Because mirrors are made of glass, they have sharp edges that not only create "secret arrows" but also pose a potential threat, especially if there are small children in the house. The mirror must be either framed or flush with the adjacent surface. Thus, only the reflective characteristics of the mirror are preserved, while its sharp, “cutting” aspect remains hidden.
Mirrors should be kept clean and wiped regularly with a damp cloth. Avoid cracked mirrors and try to replace them as soon as possible. Russian folk sign it is not for nothing that it says that a broken mirror is unfortunately, so it must be immediately taken out of the house and bought a new one.
The special Bagua mirror (octagonal with trigrams on the outer rim) can only be used outside the home. It is used to reflect negative energy from road junctions, building corners, etc.
