How to Find Feng Shui Cures and Remedies

Feng shui cures and remedy items may not be too hard to find if you have a lot of time to shop, and you live in an big city with a large, thriving Chinatown. Still, it takes time and work to round up exactly what you need.

Last post, I wrote about feng shui door guardians and where to find them, but there are a lot of other important feng shui remedies that are even harder to find. Until now.

I just ran across a search engine for shopping, called ShopWiki. It searches the whole web for you, not just the sites of advertisers, and displays lists and photos of whatever you need, in a wide range of prices.

This is great news for feng shui fans. For example, if you need a red sofa, where do you look? I had never seen a red sofa in a store, but in one search I found dozens, ranging in price from about $60 for a kid-size fold-out foam sofa to magnificent red leather sofas for about $1500.

What if you need a round, white mirror, symbolizing the element of metal? Easy. You can find dozens of round white mirrors, and many other accessories, in many different styles and sizes, at many different prices.

Need a feng shui (octagonal) mirror? Of course there are the small red and green-framed bagua mirrors, but I also found, for example, elegant octagonal wood-framed mirrors for a subtle and beautiful feng shui cure that would blend into any decor without calling attention itself.

Red accent pieces, octagon-shaped tables, peach-colored sheets, peony images, and many other feng shui cures are now easy to find, without even leaving home. Whew! I even found inexpensive sets of bamboo flutes (a classic remedy for exposed ceiling beams and badly angled ceilings).

So now we can easily find all kinds of feng shui items and cures—from Chinese coins (real or reproduction) and tiny red envelopes to large furniture—no matter where we live. Prices range from about $5 up.

And, what a simple way to find feng shui holiday gifts!
