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.
