Ammonite in Fengshui

Ammonites are regarded by many to be excellent index fossils and it is often possible to link the rock layer in which a particular species or genus is found to specific geologic time periods. Their fossil shells usually take the form of planispirals, although there were some helically spiraled and nonspiraled forms (known as heteromorphs). Ammonites are typically more than 100 million years old!

The name "ammonite", was inspired by the spiral shape of their fossilized shells, which somewhat resemble tightly coiled rams' horns. Pliny the Elder called fossils of these animals ammonis cornua ("horns of Ammon") because the Egyptian god Ammon was typically depicted wearing ram's horns.

In the realm of fengshui, ammonites are often used to raise the energy and vibrations of any space to a higher level! The spiraled ammonite has the transformative property of channeling negative energies into positive ones! Apart from that, the ammonite acts as a vessel to store and accumulate positivity!

Like most new clients of Lotusonwater, I chanced upon their advert on Facebook and clicked on "Enquire More" with a mix of skepticism and excitement!

After touring the Main Gallery in September 2015, I decided to take a leap of faith and purchased my first collection, the Auspicious "Metal" Jadeite Ammonite!

I was at the crossroads of my career as a primary school teacher and my late father had been admitted to the hospital a few weeks prior for a suspected 2nd stroke. He had several brain surgeries which unfortunately left him eventually in a vegetative state.

In the midst of these uncertainties, I needed to inject a boost of positivity into my life! So on 13 October 2015, I happily wore my first Lotus collection, the Auspicious Jadeite Ammonite (see attached picture at the end of this post)!

At that time, my wife and I have been married for about 4 years and after giving priority to our careers and part-time studies (I completed my Master of Arts in 2013 and she just completed her Bachelor of Science), we decided to embark on our parenthood journey!

Mystically, shortly after wearing my Ammonite pendant, our daughter was successfully conceived and she is now 4 years old!

Fast forward to about 5 plus years with Lotusonwater, I am now the grateful owner of 7 personal collections!

As the saying goes, the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step! If you are reading this and hesitating if you should take the plunge, I urge you to STOP WORRYING and take that crucial first step like I did and join the ever expanding community of blessed clients!

HE WHO DOESN'T BELIEVE IN FATE BUT IN FENG SHUI - Part 2

6 years later, his company was in sort of a crisis.

 

Sales in 2018 dropped and was reported to be barely reaching one third of what it used to be. A list was released, they were to retrench 30 of their staff, which was 40% of all the people he used to see and meet every day. He was informed by the management he needed to break the news to his staff.

 

Granted, his name wasn’t on the chopping board, but anyone with a little bit of compassion knows the ripple effect of such a straightforward task. Imagine this, a sole breadwinner losing his job could easily affect a family of 4 or more, a man in his middle age could have a tough time finding another job and getting his life back on track, a person who wasn’t mentally strong enough for a blow like this could fall into a depression and never recover. 

 

A straightforward task that has no consequences on him, felt like a thousand ton on his shoulders. 

He cannot just allow this to happen without doing something or even putting up a fight. 

 

It’s as if his thoughts were heard, he received a call from Lotus on Water. It wasn’t anything out of the ordinary, sales calls like this were normal, but it felt like a call to his next action.

 

He felt like his luck needed a little boost, even when it’s not directly for himself. So, he bought himself a ring, and an exquisite jadeite pendant from Lotus on Water. No, he didn’t stop here. 

 

Mr Moh took the leap in late 2018 and purchased something that was still new in the market- A peacock painting that was personally painted by Master Yun.

 

Spring Blossoms 【春天花开】

 

Luck is not linear; luck is not guaranteed. But when luck is what you need, you leap up high and hold your breath when it reaches its peak and starts to descend, you hold on to your faith that it will land just where you wish it would be.

 

In 2019, after countless try and attempts to bring in new business, he not just closed 2 deals that bring his sales to where it usually is, the 2019 sales ended up double of what their usual sales should be. And that all happened in the first half of the 2019, months after hanging Master Yun painting in his apartment. 

 

Instead of bringing the depressing news to 30, with his new deals, he negotiated down to 5.

 

Life isn't perfect, but we celebrate every win. How?

HE WHO DOESN'T BELIEVE IN FATE BUT IN FENG SHUI - Part 1

We all are born into different lives, different families with different backgrounds. And as much as most of us wants to lead a smooth and prosperous life, we cannot deny the fact that at least for the first 10 over years of our lives, we don’t really have the capability to change it except to rely on what our providers can, or even choose, to offer.

 

That being said -  it doesn’t have stay that way for the rest of our lives.

 

Mr Moh stumbled into Lotus on Water in 2010, because he doesn’t believe in fate (命). He doesn’t believe we have to succumb to the life given to us. He believes all of us have the ability to change it, maximise each of our potential and live life to its fullest, even when it means we need a little help.  A little help from? Feng shui (风水).

 

His first Lotus Jadeite Pendant

 

His life at that point was not in any crisis per se, but that was actually the best time to explore in any form of “help”. Rather than to wait till you are at the bottom of the pit, it’s always comforting to know that you are already well equipped with ropes and climbing equipment to make sure you can definitely make your way out. So, he gotten himself a Lotus jadeite pendant, a Lotus mountain, an agarwood pendant and beads over a span of 2 years.

 

His collections from Lotus on Water over the years

Do you want to know what it feels like, to have all aspects of your life going so well, that you don’t even have the need to think about how can you make it better?

 

Because after having all his precious items with him, his life went on so well, be it at work or at home, which reminds me of a phrase borrowed from fairy tale endings – living happily ever after.

 

And this went on for 6 years.

 

For some of us, we go to the temple to pray for one smooth sailing year during Chinese New Year. For him, he had it on autopilot for 6 years...... but will it stay that way?
