MANILA, Philippines - If chocolates and flowers don’t work with Mom anymore, it’s time to give her a piña-silk shawl with delicate bird embroidery from Silk Cocoon for a change.
Because of their connection to the sky, birds have been thought of as a supernatural link between the heavens and the earth.
Middle Eastern and Asian cultures often speak of birds as symbols of immortality. Though each type of bird may have its own distinctive quality, bird symbols have intrinsic universal energy that does not need translation.
In traditional feng shui applications, birds are considered powerful symbols of new opportunities that are there for you even in times of adversity. Birds can also symbolize love and commitment (as in the case of Mandarin ducks), or abundance and good luck (as in the case of the peacock).
Silk Cocoon is at the ground floor, New World Hotel, Makati City. For inquiries, call 811-6856.
