Step 2: Energy Matching - Three Scientific Selection Principles

1. Five Elements Compatibility

· For those lacking earth element (prone to anxiety and lack of motivation): Give priority to yellow-based talismans with brown borders, and enhance the earth element by matching with ceramic ornaments.

· For those lacking fire element (prone to fatigue and weak immunity): Choose talismans with a richer cinnabar color. You can light a red candle in the southeast (Xun position) to strengthen the fire element.

2. Spatial Orientation Correspondence

Step 3: Correct Usage - Key Steps to Activate the Talisman's Efficacy

00001. Purification and Activation

· Smoke the talisman 3 times (clockwise) with sandalwood or sage, and silently recite: "Clear away obstacles and welcome good fortune" (no religious restrictions, just focus).

· If there are no conditions, spray 3 drops of mineral water around the talisman in a clockwise direction, symbolizing the cleansing of impurities.

00001. Thought Injection

· Hold the talisman in front of your chest with both hands, and imagine a golden light enveloping yourself and the target scene (for example, for a career talisman: imagine a smooth meeting and a signed contract; for a health talisman: imagine your body full of vitality) for 10 seconds.

00001. Taboos to Note

· Avoid contact with menstrual blood and sewage. Remove the talisman when taking a bath or sleeping (except for those worn close to the body).

· If the talisman is naturally damaged (not due to human factors), it is regarded as "the mission is completed." It can be burned and then buried in a flower pot or by a stream.

Purchase Tips: Three Key Points to Avoid Mistakes

00001. Material Assurance: Genuine talisman paper is made of hand-made bamboo fiber yellow paper, which feels rough and tough; inferior talisman paper is smooth and shiny, mostly industrial bleached paper.

00001. Rune Standardization: Key characters (such as “敕令” “罡”) need to be written in one stroke. Broken or blurred strokes may affect the efficacy. It is recommended to choose talismans consecrated by Taoist temples.

00001. Matching Suggestions: When you need multiple types of talismans at the same time, give priority to meeting your core needs (for example, if you need both a career and a health talisman, it is recommended to first place the career talisman in the office area and the health talisman in the bedroom) to avoid energy confusion.
