The traditional Chinese art of placement, energy, and flow known as Feng Shui has enjoyed a remarkable growth in popularity in the western world over the past twenty years or so. Purporting to transform living spaces in order to enhance prosperity, happiness, harmony and protection, Feng Shui is far more than just a decorating scheme, and in fact operates on some fairly strict principles with roots in the ancient world. An interesting side note of Feng Shui's popularity is that its employment of the elements of nature has created a new use for leather goods and luxurious fur items such as real fur bedspreads, pillows, throws and rugs.
Just as in the rest of the world, the use of tanned leather and furs to decorate the home has always been a part of Chinese tradition. In Chinese culture as in many others, animals and their spiritual energy have also always been considered helpful in protecting the home from evil spirits, misfortune, harm, and illness. And, just as any culture has their traditional lucky charms and talismans, in Chinese custom this includes the use of lucky animals, as well as fur rugs, fur pillows, throws, and bedspreads.
A fairly new adoption to the ancient practice of Feng Shui, fur items are now increasingly used in modern homes for traditional purposes as well as to soften a home's sharp corners, to keep spaces clear of negative energy, and to attract business opportunities, wealth and prosperity.
Feng Shui's basic principle of balancing the five basic elements (earth, fire, water, metal and wood) makes the use of fur a natural, so to speak. Fur items are considered especially good Feng Shui because they are considered to be full of the positive energy that is passed on by the animals. All this positive energy is thought to cleanse the living space. Fur is also considered to be a "fire" element enhancement. Home adornments of the fire element are used and positioned within the home to promote positive change.
It is critically important however, if you use fur in your home to enhance Feng Shui, that you properly care for the fur by keeping it meticulously clean. According to the tenets of the practice, this is the best way for the fur to retain the positive energy associated with it. On the other hand, if the fur is not well kept, it is better to not use it at all.
Using real fur is no longer simply a great way to beautify your domestic surroundings. According to the principles of Feng Shui, the use luxurious fur items will attract and retain positive elements in your life.
