Feng Shui For Your Money, Prosperity in 4 Easy Steps
The ancient Chinese practice of Feng Shui (pronounced Foong Shway or Fung Shoy) focuses on the placement of items throughout your house to maximize the flow of life energy, called "Chi". Practitioners believe that you can attract and direct chi in a way that will refresh your life and home. In lackluster economic times, when money managers are afraid to admit to the fact that we may be in a recession, or even worse, looking at a depression, we may need to look all around to find things that may produce more in our lives. Feng Shui, why not? If our bank accounts can benefit from a few extra dollars, why not give it a try. What's the worst that will happen? You may have some nice green plants and a fish in a bowl. 1. Find The Money Sector In Your Home According to contemporary Feng Shui beliefs, your home is divided into regions corresponding to different aspects of your life, such as health, wealth or career. This division of the home is called the "ba gua", and each region is called a "gua". You should focus on the gua of whatever aspect of your life you wish to improve. For the purpose of this article we are focusing on prosperity and money. So how do you find your prosperity gua? Easy. Stand facing into your house from the main entrance. This would usually be the front door. So now you're standing at the main entrance to your home, the wealth gua is located in the upper left corner of your floor plan. That was easy! 2. Eliminate Negativity Now that we've located the prosperity gua in our home we need to treat it right. You want to rid this area of anything "negative." Get rid of the clutter, and repair or throw out anything that's old, broken or rundown. Dust, wash and clean this area and keep it clean. What should NOT be in this area? Clutter, peeling paint, leaky pipes, broken items, dead or dying plants. Nothing negative. Note: If your bathroom happens to be your gua, keep the toilet seat closed or it can drain your positive energy. 3. Power Up Your Prosperity Area Once you've cleaned everything up, it's time to get ready for the prosperity. True believers of Feng Shui say that placing certain objects or colors in the gua, you can strengthen this area and invite wealth into your life. But it is important that you avoid clutter in this area, so be selective with the below listed items that you decide would work best. 4. Maintain Your Chi Keep your prosperity gua clean, and uncluttered. Make sure that plants and fish are thriving. And don't make this corner of your house your singular focus. When we seek prosperity it also involves your overall outlook and approach to life and money. Feng Shui advises that donating money is a good way to ensure that more abundance flows into your life. If you can't donate money, donate your time. Always try to maintain a positive outlook on life and about everything that you do have in your life. Try not to focus on the things that you don't have in your life. Try not to be negative, and you never want to be jealous. Necessary Prosperity Items Goldfish; In Feng Shui, goldfish are one way to bring good energy to your home. Stock an aerated tank with several orange goldfish and one black goldfish. The black goldfish will absorb any negative energy (sorry someone had to be the black sheep or in this case black goldfish of the family). Jade Plant; the jade plant is also referred to as a "money tree". Other types of green plants can be used as well. Make sure plants in your gua stay healthy, since they are representative of your financial state. Avoid thorny plants, as they are detrimental to finances. Fountain; Water fountains, in Feng Shui water is an ancient symbol of abundance and prosperity. Choose a simple fountain, preferably round in shape, that's easy to keep clean. It doesn't have to look oriental in style, but should match the overall look of whatever room you place it in. Colors; In Feng Shui the color green is for growth and purple is for wealth, so if you pair them together, then hopefully your money will multiply. Both colors can be integrated with any of the other objects we have already described. For instance you might put a plant in a purple pot. Or have a green water fountain. Three Legged Toad; the three legged toad is one of the utmost symbols of prosperity in the traditional Feng Shui. Always remember to only use the three legged toad if your wealth center (gua) is in the living room, garden or other semi-outdoor area. The toad doesn't like other rooms.
