Why the Wulou is and Indispensable Symbol for any Feng Shui Home

If you practice Feng Shui, it is very likely that you’ve heard about the importance of the Wu Lou symbol at home, and why it is such a significant piece to carry or display at home. 

In China, the calabash, or "bottle-gourd" plant, has long been used as a food and medicine, and its hard shell as a bottle, a dipper and even an ancient musical instrument. Gourds have traditionally been used to carry medicine, wine and "magic".

Feng Shui masters have also replicated the shape into brass (metal weakens earth) many years ago in order to absorb the negative energy of the 2 & 5 bad luck stars.

For this reason, the Wulou is revered both in Buddhist and Taoist circles as a symbol of longevity and perfect health.

It is used to improve health or for protection against illness as well as to promote good fortune and “healthy” energy all around. It is a very protective symbol, which can be used in many different areas of our life to guard us against any type of negative energy.

Here is a list of uses you can give to your Wu Lou:

1. For protection at work.
Displaying a Wulou on your desk can help protect you from any destructive negative energy that may be coming in from the workplace or colleagues that may harm your health and well-being.

2. For beneficial energy.
As you may have noticed, many Gods and deities are shown holding a Wulou, because it is associated with the immortality and protection for the living. Anyone who carries or displays it, will attract beneficial energy and benevolent beings in life.

3.To recover from Illness:
If you or a loved one has fallen ill, display a Wulou next to the bedside, by hanging it on the headboard or simply placing it on the nightstand. 

4.To enhance relationships:
If you wish to enhance or amend family relationships to be healthy and growing, place a Wulou in the east corner of the living room. It will promote vitality and help with positive energy.

The Wu Lou is a very magical and beneficial symbol for anyone who invites it into their homes.
