Wearing rules

Personal amulets should not be given to other people, even touched. It is better to wear them constantly and under clothes. Talismans in the form of jewelry can be placed on any part (neck, arm, finger), but always close to the body.

Personal amulets should not be allowed to be touched.

Family amulets, which are passed down from generation to generation, are considered the most powerful and effective.

It is forbidden to wear amulets of different directions at the same time.

Money talismans are placed in a wallet or purse. A talisman in the form of a picture or figurine must be periodically picked up for a while so as not to lose the energetic connection with it. You must believe that the amulet will protect and help in a difficult situation.

Activation

Before using the amulet for your own purposes, you need to clear it of extraneous energy and activate it.

There are 4 methods of cleansing:

The method of cleansing depends on the material of the amulet. Then the item can be placed under the pillow.

"Peace"

There are quite a lot of hieroglyphs with this meaning, but for now we will start with this sign. "Kanji" 安 consists of two elements : "crown, roof" at the top and "woman" at the bottom. The element “crown” is the key of the hieroglyph , by which the sign can be found in the dictionary. His number is 40 .

By the way, this hieroglyph has another meaning – “cheap”.

Pay attention to the order of strokes when writing the sign:

The hieroglyph reads as follows:

They:アン

Kuns:やす(い) – cheap, inexpensive; calm

The association will probably help you remember this sign. As we have already noticed, it is perfectly decomposed into two components - the “roof” and the “woman”. A woman under the roof of a house can symbolize peace, right?

"Kanji" is used in these words :

Where to place it in the house

The result of its actions depends on the location of the talisman in the house, so you need to pay special attention to this point.

Children's talismans are placed in the child's room. These can be amulets with the image of a tiger, hieroglyphs or symbols of knowledge. Charms for married couples are placed in the bedroom, closer to the bed. But it is forbidden to store eagle or rooster figurines there.

The toad with the coin and the ship should be located near the front door, facing the center of the room.

It is recommended to store money talismans in the south-eastern part of the apartment, and the north side is intended for amulets related to work and additional income. The East is good health and self-realization, the West is creativity.
