Feng Shui Atrracts
Money
by: Sam Stevens
The first thing
that you need to do is get yourself a
good compass and determine what is in
the southeastern corner of your home.
The Southeastern sector of your home
governs both your cash flow as well as
your faith in the idea that you will
always be able to create money.
According to the
classic and traditional rules of Feng
Shui (the ancient art of object
placement to increase good energy in
your life) the items that you place in
this part of your should be things that
align with the energies of personal
abundance.
Things that Create
Prosperity:
- The colors
purple, red and green. These three
colors support prosperity energy in
a space. A pleasant still life to
attract this energy is a pretty
glass bowl containing a purple
amethyst, a red carnelian and a
green piece of jade. You also might
want to consider painting this
corner one of these colors or using
purple, red and green lighting in
this corner. An easy way to enhance
the color value in this corner is to
purchase a lava lamp in purple, red
or green. The great thing about a
lava lamp is that it also moves, and
in Feng Shui, anything electronic or
moving helps keep the money
circulating in your life.
- Symbols of
wealth: Actual money and gold
objects are good to display in this
area of your house. A bowl of
foreign or antique coins can also
augment this sector. You can also
find statues of "gold ingots" to
your local China Town A wonderful
statue to place in this area is of a
Prosperity Buddha lifting a gold
ingot over his head. You might also
want to consider placing a gold or
green statue of a Chinese Money Toad
(this is a three legged statue of a
frog or toad with a coin in it's
mouth) or a statue of leaping
goldfish
- Fake Money.
This is the place to put that fake
million-dollar bill you got in a
novelty store in a frame and hang
it. Some people even keep monopoly
money in this area as a symbol of
their circulating prosperity. A bowl
of foreign coins can also be placed
here to magnetize wealth into your
life.
- Fountain.
This is one the two best places in
the entire bagua to place a flowing
fountain. The other is your Career
sector. Flowing water represents the
flowing of money. The Chinese
consider wood or bamboo fountains to
be especially auspicious when placed
in this area.
- Goldfish.
This is a great area to put an
aquarium. Traditionally the Chinese
place eight orange or yellow gold
fish and one black goldfish in an
aquarium to attract money. The
number 8 represents prosperity in
Feng Shui. The idea too is that if
misfortune hits your family, then
the ninth black goldfish will die
and receive the misfortune instead
of you. You can also buy the
traditional Chinese poster of this
image in Chinese specialty shops.
- Eight Horses.
This is an image of eight horses
that can be purchased either a
statue or as a poster that adds good
chi to this sector. However please
note the position of your front door
when positioning this poster. Make
sure that the direction the horses
are running is INTO the house and
not out the front or back doors! You
can buy this statue in gold, red,
green, crystal and orange. When
placing it in the southwest, red,
green, brass or gold are the best
styles to choose.
- Jewels.
Treasure chests or displays of real
or costume jewelry can help attract
the chi of abundance to your
southeastern prosperity sector.
- Symbols of
Luxury. This is the place-to-place
photographs, fine art or statuary
that represents the aspiration of
"having it all." A toy model of a
Porsche, an image of a country
mansion or a photograph of a man
standing at the highest mountain in
the world are the kinds of images
that you should consider putting in
this corner.
- Jade Plant.
The Jade plant is the ultimate
symbol of prosperity for the
Chinese. It's flat round leaves and
compact shape makes it the Asian
equivalent of a money tree.
- Fruit Trees.
Small orange, lemon or lime trees
also contain money-drawing
properties and are ideal to place in
this sector.
Things That Put
You in the Poorhouse:
- Clutter. The
planet Venus rules prosperous
energy. Venus won't enter a dirty
home. Piles of junk serve as an
obstacle so that positive energy
cannot pool and accumulate in your
space.
- Leaks. If you
have a kitchen or a bathroom with a
leaky faucet in this area than the
theory is that your money will also
be leaking away.
- Toilets. If
you have a toilet in this area and
there is nothing you can do about
it, then make sure that you keep the
lid closed at all times to keep your
cash from being "flushed away."
- Kitty litter
boxes. Animal toilets have the same
negative association as toilets --
especially if they smell bad.
- Broken
objects. The theory is that " If
it's broke, you probably are too!
"Remove anything that doesn't work
including clocks that keep the wrong
time, dead batteries and similar
decrepit items from this area. Also
replace any burnt out light bulbs,
as it is essential that this area be
well lit.
- Dead or
withering plants: Anything obviously
decomposing is antithetical to the
energy of prosperity and should be
removed from this area.
- Trash cans.
Like the toilet, this item drains
vital energy from the prosperity
area.
- mages of
Poverty or Want: Art that depicts
objects or landscapes in a
withering, rustic or decomposing
state should not be displayed here.
Also avoid placing photographs of
yourself when you were going through
a "broke phase" (such as when you
were a student in college or just
recently divorced) here. You might
repeat the situation!
