How to activate energy?
If you have studied Feng Shui, then, of course, you know about the need to activate any talisman or amulet. If not, be sure to take the time to answer this question.
Despite the fact that the strength of the elephant is unconditional, it also has weaknesses, so at the initial stage of the action, he needs help.
Add beauty to it, decorate, as the elephant is a big lover of jewelry. He will love beads, bracelets, necklaces wrapped around the neck or legs. If you do this, then you can safely expect a pleasant turn in fate, the elephant will be very grateful. The elephant also loves precious metals, try storing your chains and bracelets on it.
The main thing is to avoid the presence of ivory objects next to the statuette or painting, they neutralize all the positive energy of the talisman.
This can be explained simply - the elephant will not approve of the killing of his own kind and will punish you for it. It is better to choose a decent bright frame for the elephant, he loves it. It can be a bright napkin or a multi-colored silk rag in the form of a scarf. Conversations with an elephant tete-a-tete will accumulate its energy, awaken it. Of course, it is necessary to dust more often and take care of the talisman.
Where to place the statuette?
