Buddhist imagery can be used in the feng shui of your home as a spiritual reminder. The Buddha represents the potential for true happiness and goodness that is inherent within each human and every sentient being. If you want to take it a step further, select a deity to display in your home holding a particular mudra to enhance your spiritual aspiration. When it comes to feng shui, Buddhist imagery is not at all a requirement. However, if it’s something that you’re attracted to, you’re reading the right article! Imagery of any of the mudras (or even making the mudras) may be supportive for any area of your home. Here are some of commonly used Buddhist mudras and their meanings. Best placement: Since this mudra is connected to meditation and contemplation, it would be supportive for the meditation area of your home. Best placement: Since the Buddha touches the earth, this is a mudra that can ground and support you in any room of the home. The center of your home is also a recommended spot since it’s connected to the earth element. Best placement: This mudra can invite receiving and discussing teachings for growth and awakening into your life. Rooms such as a library, study, and or the Gen/Knowledge area of the home would benefit from imagery of this mudra. Best placement: This mudra is related to the notion of fierce compassion, where you can let go when it’s necessary. This mudra may be helpful in your home when you need to strengthen your boundaries while still opening your heart with confidence. Boundaries are related to earth element, so this mudra can invite more fearlessness in how you engage with the world. Best placement: The Buddha is said to have used this mudra when he first taught after his enlightenment. A wheel rotates, and so represents movement and transition. Similarly, the placement of the dharma chakra mudra in your home can inspire movement and flow.
