Background: Unexplained Discomfort

In the midsummer of 2024, 62-year-old Aunt Wang’s once robust health suddenly collapsed. Every morning, she woke feeling dizzy and weak, even simple tasks like buying groceries and cooking became a struggle. Even more strangely, she frequently suffered from insomnia. When she finally managed to fall asleep, she would suffer from frequent nightmares, waking in a cold sweat with a pounding heart.

At first, her family thought she had suffered from heatstroke and bought her Huoxiang Zhengqi water and even adjusted the air conditioning temperature. However, after a few days, Aunt Wang’s symptoms not only failed to improve, but worsened—she lost her appetite, lost 3 kilograms in a week, and even experienced occasional palpitations and shortness of breath.

Furious, her son, Xiao Zhang, rushed Aunt Wang to the city hospital for an examination. A complete blood count, electrocardiogram, brain CT scan, liver and kidney function tests—all the necessary tests were done, but the report showed that Aunt Wang’s indicators were all within normal range. The doctor couldn’t explain the cause, only advising her to “get more rest and stay calm,” and prescribing some Chinese patent medicine for a sleep aid.
“I’m clearly feeling unwell, so why can’t the tests show anything?” Xiao Zhang, holding the test report, looked bewildered. Aunt Wang sat nearby, her eyes red. “Is it because I’m getting old and my health is failing?” Seeing his mother’s anxious expression, Xiao Zhang felt a pang of anxiety. He began asking around, asking friends for reliable traditional Chinese medicine practitioners. But after two weeks of taking traditional Chinese medicine, Aunt Wang’s condition showed no improvement.
One evening, Xiao Zhang was strolling downstairs in the residential complex when he ran into his neighbor, Aunt Zhang. Seeing his distressed face, Aunt Zhang took the initiative to inquire about his condition. After hearing Xiao Zhang’s story, Aunt Zhang slapped her thigh. “Oh, let me tell you, I had a similar situation last year. I felt unwell all over, but the checkup came back fine. Then I saw Feng Shui master MoneyGaga from LAOTLON. He said there was bad luck in the house, but I placed a gourd ornament, and it healed quickly! Why don’t you take Aunt Wang to try it too?”

Xiao Zhang was skeptical, but seeing his mother’s increasingly haggard appearance, he decided to give it a try. The next morning, he contacted LAOTLON. After understanding the situation, customer service quickly arranged for Feng Shui master MoneyGaga to visit the home three days later.

On-site Inspection: MoneyGaga’s Detailed Interpretation

On the day of the inspection, it was drizzling. MoneyGaga appeared at Aunt Wang’s door, holding a black umbrella. She was wearing a comfortable cotton and linen suit and carrying a black cloth bag. Upon entering, she politely greeted Aunt Wang and Xiao Zhang, then began to carefully observe the home. Aunt Wang lives on the 11th floor, a two-bedroom, one-living room apartment. The living room faces south, offering ample natural light. But as soon as MoneyGaga entered the living room, she frowned. She walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, opened it, and looked out. After a moment’s silence, she asked, “Auntie, do you often watch TV on the sofa in the living room, or bask in the sun by the window?”

Auntie Wang nodded. “Yes, I like to sit here and watch TV when I have nothing to do. In the afternoon, when the sun is nice, I bask in the sun by the window.”

MoneyGaga pointed to a path not far from the window and said, “Look, this path is directly opposite your living room window, and it’s downhill. When cars and pedestrians pass by, the air rushes straight down the path, creating ‘road collision’.” Although your home is on the 11th floor, it’s not low, but this negative energy will still affect your home’s aura. Living in such an environment for a long time will easily lead to physical discomfort and poor sleep.”

MoneyGaga then went into Aunt Wang’s bedroom. The bedroom window also faces south, directly opposite an old locust tree in the neighborhood. MoneyGaga took out a compass, circled the bedroom, and then said to Xiao Zhang, “Your mother’s bedside is against the window, and the window faces the trunk of the locust tree. Locust trees are considered yin in feng shui. Having a bed facing the head of a tree for a long time will increase the yin energy in the bedroom, affecting sleep quality. This is a major cause of Auntie’s insomnia and nightmares.”

Xiao Zhang and Aunt Wang were stunned. They had never imagined that a home’s windows and trees could be related to one’s health. “So how can we solve this problem?” Xiao Zhang asked anxiously. MoneyGaga pondered for a moment and offered some advice: “First, to dispel the ‘road-facing evil’, hang a copper gourd on the living room window. In feng shui, gourds are believed to ward off and absorb negative energy. A copper gourd not only blocks incoming negative energy but also purifies the home’s aura. Secondly, move the headboard of your bed away from the window, and place a wooden gourd on the windowsill. This can enhance the bedroom’s yang energy and improve the sleeping environment. Also, avoid too many electronic devices in the bedroom, especially phones and tablets, as these emit radiation and can affect sleep.”

Before leaving, MoneyGaga specifically reminded: “When hanging a copper gourd, keep the mouth facing downward to better absorb negative energy. Place a wooden gourd on the east side of the windowsill, as the east is associated with ‘wood’ and enhances the gourd’s yang energy. You can visit a LAOTLON store to select decorative ornaments. The staff will provide detailed instructions for selection and placement.”

Decoration Placed: Health Gradually Improved

Xiao Zhang visited a LAOTLON store that afternoon. The store was filled with a variety of Feng Shui ornaments. The staff warmly welcomed him and, following MoneyGaga’s advice, recommended a 12-centimeter-diameter copper gourd and a 15-centimeter-tall wooden gourd. The staff also explained in detail how to care for the gourds: “Copper gourds should be wiped regularly with a dry cloth to prevent rust, and wooden gourds should be kept away from damp areas to prevent mold.”

After returning home, Xiao Zhang immediately took action, following MoneyGaga’s advice. He first hung the copper gourd on the living room window. Then, he and his wife moved Aunt Wang’s bed away from the window and placed the wooden gourd on the windowsill. Aunt Wang sat watching, feeling both excited and anxious: “Will this gourd really work?”

To Aunt Wang’s surprise, the next night after placing the ornaments, she slept soundly without nightmares, and upon waking that morning, her dizziness had subsided considerably. “Could it really be the gourd that’s working?” Aunt Wang wondered. Over the next few days, Aunt Wang’s health improved day by day. A week later, she was not only able to shop for groceries and cook as normal, but also square dance with old friends in the neighborhood. Her appetite returned, her weight slowly returned, and a long-lost smile appeared on her face.

One time, while square dancing with Aunt Zhang, Aunt Wang took Zhang’s hand and said, “Thank you so much! If you hadn’t recommended LAOTLON and MoneyGaga, I don’t know how miserable I would be right now! Those two gourds are amazing!”

Aunt Zhang smiled and said, “I knew it worked. Feng shui is something you really have to believe in sometimes.”

Follow-up Feedback: Continuing a Healthy Lifestyle

Today, Aunt Wang has fully recovered. She goes to the neighborhood for morning exercises every morning, watches TV and does chores at home in the morning, and chats and square dances with old friends in the afternoon. Her life is fulfilling and happy.

Xiao Zhang also frequently contacts LAOTLON customer service for tips on feng shui. Once, he took Aunt Wang to the LAOTLON store to have her copper and wooden gourds maintained. After inspecting the gourd, the clerk said, “Your gourd is well-maintained and has a strong aura. Keep it up, and it will be very beneficial to your family’s health.”
Auntie Wang took the clerk’s hand and said, “Thank you so much! I didn’t believe in feng shui before, but now I understand how important a good living environment is to health. I’ve recommended LAOTLON and MoneyGaga to several of the older women in our square dance team. Some of them have also said they’re experiencing discomfort at home, so I’ve asked them to consult.”
Xiao Zhang also said with emotion, “I used to think feng shui was superstition, but now I understand it’s actually about rational planning of the living environment. LAOTLON and MoneyGaga not only helped my mother resolve her health issues, but also gave our whole family a new perspective on our living environment. If I ever move again, I’ll definitely consult MoneyGaga first.”
Now, the copper gourd on Auntie Wang’s living room window gleams softly in the sunlight; on the bedroom windowsill, the wooden gourd sits quietly, like two silent guardians, protecting the health and well-being of Auntie Wang and her family.
