Do you know
where your financial "power spots" are? The contemporary
methods of feng shui associate prosperity issues with the
back left corner of any space. Stand at your front door facing
into the house; your wealth area is at the back of the house
on the left-hand side. There's also a wealth area within each
room: facing in from the doorway, it's the corner area in
the back of the room on the left-hand side. Where are the
wealth areas within your office, living room, kitchen, and
bedroom? Now that you've identified your money power spots,
here are some quick and easy ways to apply feng shui to these
spaces:
1. Clear out any clutter from
these important areas. Clutter is a sign of stagnant energy,
and clutter in your money power spots can clog up your cash
flow. Getting rid of clutter is one of the most powerful ways
to shift the energy of your power spots into high gear.
2. Fix things that are broken.
Anything that doesn't work as it should is a sign of something
wrong in the area of your life that corresponds to that part
of your space. Examine each of your money power spots to look
for anything that needs repair. It's time to do something
about that loose doorknob, non-working light switch, stuck
file drawer, or clock that doesn't keep correct time, to name
just a few possible examples. Remove items like these from
your power spots or fix them so they work properly.
3. Enhance your power spots
with symbols of prosperity, such as a bowl of coins (add your
loose change to it every day), a "lucky bamboo"
plant, or anything that symbolizes success and prosperity
to you. There are lots of Chinese luck symbols available,
but you don't have to use them unless you want to. A picture
of your dream house, or a model of that luxury car you long
for, is an effective money symbol because it has personal
meaning for you.
4. Accent your money areas
with the colors green and purple. Green symbolizes vitality
and growth, and purple is the color of wealth. Place a bowl
of green and purple grapes (real or artificial) in the wealth
area of your kitchen, to symbolize abundance filling your
home. If you use real grapes, it's okay to eat them, just
add more from time to time so the grapes remain fresh and
the bowl is always more than half full.
5. Pay attention to how you
handle money every day. Do you keep paper money neatly sorted
in your wallet or money clip, or is it jammed in there any
old way, or crumpled up at the bottom of your pocket? Clean
the clutter out of your purse and wallet, and start handling
your money as though you value it.
6. If you neglect your money,
it will neglect you, so be sure to balance your checkbook
regularly and pay your bills on time. Put your checkbook in
an attractive cover (choose green, purple, red, blue, or black)
and keep it in the wealth area of your desk - that's the rear
left corner again -- or in the wealth area of your office.
7. Live generously. Money
is a form of energy, and it needs to flow through your life,
not just into it. Hoarding and scrimping work against more
coming in, while giving generously within your means makes
space for even greater abundance. If you don't yet have ample
money to share, give as generously as you can of your time,
energy, compassion, and appreciation.
8. Take a few moments every
evening to think about all the good things that happened to
you today and to express your gratitude for what you have
received. Small things count, too, so it's okay if there's
little of the spectacular on your list most of the time. It's
not what happened that's important; it's getting in the habit
of focusing on the positive side of things every day that
matters. The more you notice, appreciate, and express gratitude
for blessings received, no matter how small, the more good
things will come your way, including money.
A true experience of prosperity
is determined not by how much money you have, but by how well
you notice and enjoy what is already present in your life.
The formal name for the wealth area is "fortunate blessings"
- as you de-clutter, repair, and accessorize your money power
spots keep this broader meaning in mind. When you celebrate
being rich in friends and family, or rich with laughter, or
the richness of your spiritual life, or even being rich in
air and sunshine if nothing else seems to be going well for
you today, material blessings will come to you more readily
as well.
