As with all symbols, touch into your own connection. What do elephants mean to you? Bring together your intuition with ancient wisdom to use the symbol of the elephant to invite positive energies into your home and life. In much of Buddhist and Hindu iconography, deities ride on elephants and are considered honored vehicles for transmitting spiritual teachings. In the Vedic systems, Ganesha is one of the most popular and loved deities. He has the head of an elephant and the body of a boy. In ancient times, elephants were trained to battle because they were so powerful that they could remove any obstacles. Therefore Ganesha is the deity that is called upon to remove obstacles. For feng shui, they can be positioned to face outward to guard at the main entrance of the home. The symbols can be placed on either the interior or exterior sides of the entry, your choice.
