How to
use the Medicine Buddha symbol for good feng shui
The energy of the Medicine Buddha is different from the energy ofKwan Yin, for example, or from the Laughing Buddha. In its essence, the Buddha
energy is one - the energy of Light - but there are different paths to reach
it.
The Medicine Buddha is, as the name implies, the Healing Buddha. In the traditional paintings (Tibetan thangkas) he is surrounded by various herbs and medicine, with halos of healing energy radiating from his head and body. As Medicine Buddha's vow was to help heal all the sick and the injured, he is often called upon to help eliminate sickness.
Usually portrayed seated with a jar of medicine in his left hand, often blue-colored, the Medicine Buddha's right hand is resting on his knee in the mudra of blessings, with a stem of a healing plant in between his thumb and forefinger.
Sometimes the Medicine Buddha is also called the Blue Buddha, or the Lapis Lazuli Light Buddha. According to the legend, he transformed himself into a radiant blue light Buddha at a large gathering of people, and taught/transmitted the knowledge of healing and medicine. Thus, he is often depicted with blue skin, or holding a blue medicine jar.
The Medicine Buddha mantra has powerful vibrations for healing, both mind and body healing. (The most beautiful Medicine Buddha mantra I found, and the one I loved for a long time without knowing yet what it is, is sung by Deva Premal, listen to her "Teyata".)

1. Energy
of Spiritual Health & Awareness. The Center of your
home, the Spiritual Growth & Personal Cultivation bagua area (Northeast) (Knowledge Gua),
as well as your personal altar, can also much benefit from the presence of the
Medicine Buddha. As all illness ultimately originates in the mind with the
so-called three poisons (attachment, hatred and ignorance), it is good to have
the Medicine Buddha energy on guard.

My friend Julie Plummer, http://www.pinewoodtms.com/ lent me this
audio learning set. Simply put; it changed my life. Julie works closely with
Dr. Lewis Mehl Madrona as he is her referring Psychiatrist for her work with
TMS. He has recently moved to Brattleboro, Vermont so I have had the
opportunity to speak with him in person. I have learned that the power of our
personal stories, our families stories, our communities stories, our ancestors
stories and the stories we tell ourselves over and over that effect our sense of
health and wellbeing directly. What is the name of your story? Is it keeping
you from creating a more empowering story? What will you future story be?

Feng Shui Thought:
In the center of the Feng Shui Bagua Map is the ‘Health
Center’ It is represented by the Yin Yang or Tai Chi symbol:
It represents Health on
every Level Physical, emotional, Mental, Spiritual If you are having health
issues you may want to correctly locate the Health area of your home and access
what is there. A cluttered closet? A bathroom? A woodstove? A stairway?
Diagnosing the health of your Health Gua, may help to diagnose your personal
health challenges. If your apart,ment or house is irregularly shaped you may
need to consult a professional Feng Shui consultant http://silvermoonvt.com/Feng_Shui.html

Tarot Inspiration:
Major
Arcana XIV –
Integration
(Temperance)

The coming together of
opposites, the fusion of Yin and Yang, positive and negative, masculine and
feminine, harmony, the center point of balance. The Major Arcana cards
teaches us the Universal principles, Integrity, Trust, Compassion, Intention.
As with all tarot cards, they have their positive aspects and shadow aspects,
they remind us we always have a choice… choices that will ultimately affect the
bigger picture of our lives. Temperance teaches us awareness of our personal
responsibility to balance our expression of well-being on all levels, Physical,
Emotional, and Mental. When we strive for balance and harmony on a personal
level it effects humanity on a larger level and the quality of our interaction
with others. What aspects of your Health are out of balance? What choices can you make or actions can you take
to heal them?
