Where is the most appropriate place to put a protective sword at home?
The specific placement of a protective sword has various opinions. Some say that it should be placed in the living room for wealth, while it should be placed in the bedroom for guarding the house (it's best to keep it in a cabinet with a blanket covering it). Others say it shouldn't face east, and if placed outside, the tip of the sword shouldn't face the bedroom or the door. The exact placement ultimately depends on the layout of the house.
Firstly, this is related to the condition of the house. One is the external natural geographical environment: rivers, hills, and buildings around the house; the second is the orientation and layout of the house itself.
Suppose it is a second-floor apartment in a residential area, facing southwest with its back to the northeast, matching the direction of a hill 300 meters away. This hill is located next to the highway on the southeast exit of the city. To the southwest, there are many stones, while to the east, there are more vegetation. In feng shui, it is considered a lion guarding the city, facing southwest, giving the impression of a lion roaring. Its power is strong, so we follow its momentum. Therefore, all the swords are displayed in the study facing southwest (originally I thought they should be placed in the living room facing south). The tip of the sword must not face the northeast of the room, as the northeast is the child's room and also the position for the health and safety of our family. When arranging the swords, to moderate the metal energy, the sword cabinets and stands should preferably not be made of metal but wood, symbolizing wood. Sometimes, fur or pebbles can be placed next to the swords, symbolizing earth, but water-related items such as ink bottles or water dispensers should not be placed nearby. Among a collection of swords, there must be a king. It should be placed openly and boldly, with the tip facing outward. This can cultivate the positive energy of the room, eliminate disasters, and prevent evil spirits from entering.
What are the rules for placing a protective sword?
1. A protective sword should not be placed in the bedroom, especially not hung above the bed, because weapons carry strong negative energy, which can cause restless sleep. For children, it is also very dangerous.
2. A protective sword is suitable for placement in the entrance hall or study. It can be placed in the entrance hall of the home or on the left wall near the entrance of the study. It is best to place it on the left side of the hall. The Blue Dragon position is suitable for placing it, and it is strictly forbidden to place it in the White Tiger position on the right side.
3. A protective sword should not be hung; it must be placed horizontally. The tip of the sword should not face someone's seat or bed. When placing a sword at home, it must have a sword stand. Place the sword stand horizontally on the table, so that the sword does not carry any harmful information. If it is hung, there is a risk of the sword falling and injuring someone.
4. A protective sword can be used in homes or shops that have experienced supernatural disturbances, rooms where bloodshed has occurred, or houses close to funeral places. It is also suitable for homes where a person has been sick for a long time without a clear diagnosis. In these cases, it is appropriate to hang a peach wood protective sword to ward off evil. It can be hung on the wall opposite the front door in the living room or on the wall opposite the window to block the intrusion of evil spirits.
