Chinese adore Chi Lin, also known
as Kei Loon, Qi Lin or the Chinese unicorn. Traditionally, Chi
Lins are used to guard the front entrance to the house. Chi Lins
are also used to protect businesses like casinos, hotels, antique
shops etc. Chi Lin is often being associated with extreme lucky
symbol of fortune and happy blessings. It is often depicted standing
or sitting on a bed of wealth like coins and gold ingots to represent
growing wealth luck and steady income luck. Owning the auspicious
Chi Lin will bring you prosperity and protection. It is sometimes
called the dragon horse, a mythical creature that has a lot of
legends and stories associated to it.
Chi Lin is a mythical creature
and guardian of the heavenly gates possessing the head of a dragon
and the body of a horse with carp like scales on its body. This
combination produces the most special results and qualities:
dragon head blows cosmic chi from its celestial breath that benefits
the surrounding Feng Shui and hence promises good omens, wealth,
success, longevity, wisdom, compassion and distinguished children.
Chi Lin's horse body symbolizes great ambitions, good health,
strength, perseverance, success and fame. The scale of the carp
signifies abundance and prosperity. The patterns on Chi Lin's
back were used to derive the earlier heaven bagua, a great Taoism
symbol used in the study of the natural laws of Heaven and the
Universe. . The magnificent Chi Lin is believed to have great
protective abilities. It is also believed that if you look into
the eyes of the Chi Lin it will bring you happiness and good
fortune. |

Chi Lins are sometimes crafted
in a pair of male and female. The male Chi Lin is usually depicted
holding a globe to signify global network and fortune coming
from all directions. On the other hand, the female is holding
her child to symbolize her support and nurturing for the family
and business. For best results, place the male Chi Lin on the
left (inside looking out) and the female Chi Lin on the right
of the door. This powerful creature will deter anyone intending
to cause your harm, ward off harmful people, danger and is capable
of scaring away wandering evil spirits
Here is how you can use Chi Lins
to Feng Shui your way to a better life:
1. To boost your success luck
in the work area, display the the Chi Lin in the South or on
your work desk, in your home or office. Do not place the Chi
Lin facing towards you. Displaying the Lin at the workplace represents
good fortune in promotions for those wanting advancements in
their career. It is especially potent for those in the military,
civil service or in politics. The South sector governs Career
luck based on the Pakua's Life Aspirations Theory.
2. Place a pair of Chi Lins at
the front door facing outwards. The Chi Lin is the sentinel that
neutralizes any harmful elements and wards off people with bad
intention from entering the home. It will bring blessing to your
home or your office. Chi Lin can also symbolize lots of offspring
to your family.
3. In Flying Star Feng Shui,
the Chi Lins made of metal material is used to ward-off the evil
influences of the #5 yellow star and #2 black star. The #2 black
star is also known as the ‘Sickness Star’ which brings
illnesses and ailments to occupants while the #5 yellow star
is the ‘Disaster Star’ that instigates fights, accidents
and disputes. Placing the Chi Lins in the affected sectors will
dilute these adverse energies.
4. Three Chi Lins is a perfect
remedy for Three Killings. Place three Chi Lins in the sector
where the Three Killings is located. This is the best Feng Shui
cure for bad Chi from the Three Killings and prevent you from
being betrayed, cheated and suffering loss of some kind. |
