Feng Shui Water Features to create balance, harmony and health in your environment.
Would you like to use the water element in Feng Shui to create balance, harmony and health in your environment? Feng Shui is the study, understanding and manipulation of wind and water energy. Placing a water feature indoors is very much a modern day practice with ancient principals.There are some important factors to consider when placing your water features around your space.
The front door is important in Feng Shui. It is the main entrance a house and whatever energy comes through effects the rest of the house, the people in it, and your fortune. To protect the front door from being hurt by bad external energy, have a water feature positioned nearby. When placed on the left near to your front door the water feature can bring good luck. Never have a water feature facing out of your home or office or have water on both sides of your main door.There are three directions, which can benefit from water, the east, southeast and north. To enhance luck position your water feature in the southeast area of your home or office. Make sure that your water; river, ponds, or drains are in full view of the front door as much as possible. Try to keep the positive Chi created from fountains, ponds or bodies of water from escaping outwards from your house or yard. If you have a river or stream on your property water flowing past the back of the property suggests missed opportunities. Try to have the water follow a meandering course rather then flowing off your property like an arrow taking beneficial energy with it. It is not advisable to place a water fountain in the south, which is connected to fame and reputation as well as the fire element. Moving water is more masculine Yang while still water is more feminine Yin. In general never put Yang water into an environment where there needs to be Yin energy, and vice versa, or it may cause problems.
Fast moving water has little place in the bedroom for sleeping. However near the front door Yang water attracts good luck, conversation and lively energy. A gazing bowl of still water makes little sense when used by a cash register if you are trying to create more activity and movement. These are general guidelines of fountain placement that can be used as springboards for your own cures. If you feel that a fountain would work well in a particular space your feelings on the matter are more important then any rules you may have read.
* Water features can be very powerful cures when used appropriately in your home or business.
* With a little planning and forethought they will bring good luck, health and prosperity to the people and places near where they are placed.HC Marble Sculpture and Statues offers a wide array of indoor and outdo

Biography Original Sculpture of David
Following is the biography regarding the original sculpture.
The original David is a masterpiece of Renaissance sculpture sculpted by Michelangelo from 1501 to 1504. The original statue stands 5.17 meters (13 ft) High..JPG)
[1] The marble statue portrays the Biblical King David in the nude. Unlike previous depictions of David, which portray the hero after his victory over Goliath, chose to represent David before the fight contemplating the battle yet to come.
[2] It came to symbolize the defense of civil liberties embodied in the Florentine Republic, an independent city state threatened on all sides by more powerful rival states and by the hegemony of the Medici themselves. This interpretation was also encouraged by the original setting of the sculpture outside the Palazzo Della Signoria, the seat of civic government in Florence. The completed sculpture was unveiled on 8 September 1504.

About Marble
The use of marble dates back thousands of years to ancient Egyptian and Mesopotamian cultures. Capable of bearing immense weight, marble was ideally suited for monolithic columns and supporting structures in public, private, and religious buildings. From the richly colored red floor of the Basilica of Saint Paul in Rome to the walls of the Palace of Versailles, to the elaborately designed nave of England's Salisbury Cathedral, marble has been used in some of the world's most awe-inspiring buildings.
Although the word "marble" originates from the Greek, marmaros, meaning "a snow white and spotless stone," marble can be found in a rainbow of colors. And because no other stone offers the opportunity for refinement quite like marble, it has been the medium of choice for some of the world's greatest sculptors. The most famous, Michelangelo, carved David from a single block of marble.
The minerals that result from impurities give marble a wide variety of colors.
* The purest calcite marble is white.
Extremely pure calcite marble is used for most statues. This kind of marble is translucent--that is, light penetrates a short distance below the surface of the marble before it is reflected.
* Marble containing hematite has a reddish color.
* Marble that has limonite is yellow, and
* Marble with serpentine is green. -

History of Guardian Lions
Chinese guardian lions, also called Fu Lions, lions of Buddha, or sometimes stone lions (石獅, Pinyin: Shíshī) in Chinese art[1], is a common representation of the lion in pre-modern China, which is believed to have powerful mythic protective powers that has traditionally stood in front of Chinese Imperial palaces, temples, emperors' tombs, government offices, and the homes of government officials and the wealthy from the Han Dynasty (206 BC-220 AD), until the end of the empire in 1911.
The lions are always created in pairs, with the male playing with a ball and the female with a cub. They occur in many types of Chinese pottery and in Western imitations[2].
Pairs of Chinese guardian lions, also called Chinese stone lions are still common decorative and symbolic elements at the entrances to restaurants, hotels, supermarkets and other structures, with one sitting on each side of the entrance, in China and in other places around the world where the Chinese people have immigrated and settled, especially in local Chinatowns.
In Tibet, the guardian lion is known as a Snow Lion and similar to Japanese shishi. In Myanmar they are called Chinthe and gave their name to the World War II Chindit soldiers.
