Elephants and Feng Shui

Today, I finally decided to hang up the gift I recently received. Its'a blue evil eye elephant from Turkey. I hung it in the living room on the North facing wall in order to promote career stability. The trunk of the elephant is facing inward to the room in order to attract chi energy. The elephants should have their trunks facing upwards as that represents prosperity, good luck and victory. The elephant can be used as a guardian and protector of the household. It can be seen as a symbol of many great attributes, here are just a few of which I really admire wisdom, success, and strength.  Of course, there's also the evil eye which is also a great protector. 

The elephant is hanging next to a painting that I have acquired back in 2010 from the Kush Gallery in Laguna Beach called Eye of the Needle. This painting is a symbol, to me, that anything is achievable if you believe it can be. Lastly, the bag hanging is an antique piece from Turkey. It was originally a donkey bag.
