Feng Shui Tips for Wealth

The sector that govems wealth is the southeast, and the element is wood.

The first and foremost step to realize the benefits of Feng Shui is to perform a space clearing procedure. Every environment has an accumulated negative energy, or ‘sha chi’, that needs to be eliminated. This procedure will make all other cures more effective.

The southeast corner of your home and office must be kept as clean and orderly as possible. The lighting should resemble natural light, neither too bright nor too dim.

It is advisable to keep this area illuminated, or at least leave it lit daily for as long as possible.

A well maintained aquarium is an excellent idea for this area, since water enhances wood. Choose bright energetic fish to stimulate positive ‘chi’. Nine gold fish are an auspicious number. Eight gold and one black are recommended. A fountain would also add a positive water feature. Choose one or the other. Both of them would be quite powerful.

If maintaining an aquarium is too difficult, a painting, sculpture, or hanging talisman depicting beautiful golden fish will activate the same energy.

Use faceted crystals and bamboo wind chimes to activate positive chi in the wealth sector.

Lighting frequently green, brown or one that is especially intended to energize the element of wood in the southeast is an excellent way to energize this aspect of your life. Candles also heighten the energy and are uplifting and inspiring to the spirit as well.

Place a blue or black rug in your front entryway to symbolize a river of opportunities flowing into your home or business.

Display symbols of prosperity in this sector Chinese coins, gold ingots, a Hotei Buddha sitting on a pile of gold coins and money frogs are all popular Feng Shui symbols for wealth.

Healthy, round leafed plants will help bring good ‘chi’ to the wealth sector.

A pair of male and female Foo dogs placed outside your business entrance will ward off harmful people and other negative influences that can deplete your wealth.

To increase the sales volume of your business, place a faceted crystal or crystal paperweight in the wealth sector of your desk. Placing the crystal paperweight on top of your accounts receivable, contact list, or any paperwork related to in coming funds, will cause growth in these areas. Do not place a crystal paperweight on your bill pile, as this will cause you to pay out more than you receive!!

Three coins tied with red ribbon should be placed near your phone to attract opportunities and enhance the financial outcome of phone calls.

The Chinese dragon is a powerful wealth attractor. Place a sculpture or artwork depicting the dragon in the southeast. A fountain with a dragon motif or a dragon incense bumer is a very powerful symbol here.

The mythical, money frog is a wealth attractor. Place one inside your office door, facing inward. This symbolizes wealth coming your way.
