Kotchakorn Promchai, the renowned Feng Shui master in Thailand invited Ango to create auspiciousness elements to enhance the Feng Shui of a space in a special collaboration. With their sophisticated craft these objects create a beautiful energy around them as well as commanding auspiciousness.
The meaning of Auspiciousness Feng Shui Eggs
Harmony, safety and a smooth path towards achieving goals are overall meaning of Auspicious Feng Shui Egg. The proportion of 52 to 54 mm in length signifies a wealthy life and the width of 42 to 44 mm signifies happiness and prosperity, while the coins placed inside each egg signify good fortune, good luck harmony and spiritual support.
• Silver Auspicious Egg
The colour of peace, justice, intelligence, future-facing, communication, maternity, happiness and prosperity.
• Gold Auspicious Egg
The colour of power, virtue, prestige, leadership, happiness and prosperity.
• Copper Auspicious Egg
The colour of elegance, happiness, charm, popularity, imagination and wealth.
The three colours of Auspiciousness Eggs
The three different colours of Auspiciousness Eggs reflect different aspects in the creation of new energy, happiness and prosperity. Bringing Auspiciousness Eggs into your home or place of work can bring harmony in love, along with good family relations and good fortune in your career, at the same time enabling wealth generation for you, your parents, children and the team who you work with.
The significance of the numbering used in creating the Auspiciousness Eggs
Number 1 signifies success, victory, smoothness in life, leadership and recognition.
Number 6 signifies unexpected fortune, divine blessing, imagination and happiness.
Number 8 signifies wealth, power, popularity and spiritual support.
Number 9 signifies a plenty of propitiousness and auspiciousness.
Each egg is then designed to house 8 silver coins, that are doubled so 16 coins in total; 9 gold coins that are then doubled, so 18 coins; and 10+9 copper coins so 19 coins in total. The technique of doubling is used to increase auspiciousness along with power, and the sequence 8, 9, 10 signifies an increasing power of auspiciousness. So with each piece of Auspiciousness Egg, the propitiousness is maximised in every way and it is recommended you can try one Auspiciousness Egg or one set of three eggs, to gain energy and then build up to 9 elements.
