The Chinese believe that good energy leads to abundance and happiness while

bad energy leads to negativity and unhappiness. They created the art and sci-

ence of Feng Shui to help harness the power of good energy in the home and

expel the effects of bad energy. In Chinese, Feng means wind and Shui means

water. Both are associated with good health and prosperity which is why the

art is so highly regarded in the east.

There are those of us in the west who see the value in what the Chinese have

known for years. As we focus more on the energy we expend and take in, we

discover that we have more control over our lives than we originally believed.

Feng Shui gives us the opportunity to exercise that control by directing the

flow of energy in our lives. The good news is that you don’t have to hire a Feng

Shui consultant to introduce the benefits of good energy to your home. For

those of you looking for a way to maximize your income, you can use the ba-

sics of Feng Shui to help you achieve your goal.

Invite Prosperity In Whenever you decide you want to make a change in your life the first thing

you must do is get rid of the old to make room for the new. The basic tenets

of Feng Shui work the same way. If you want prosperity, you must make room

and invite it in. The easiest way to do that is with your front door. It is the ener-

gy nexus of your home. Think about it. When you leave, you take what you’re

feeling with you into your day. When you come home, you bring in all that has

happened to you throughout the day.

The first order of business is to clear the clutter from around your door. If you

and your family store shoes, coats, equipment, toys, or any other items by the

front door, move them. The clutter blocks the free flow of energy, and it pre-

vents abundance from entering your life. If you want to maximize your income,

then move all that clutter somewhere else. Next, check to make sure the door

opens easily and quietly. Oil any squeaky hinges, clean the glass if it is dirty,

and paint the door if it needs it. Incidentally, a red door welcomes prosperity

into your home.

In the Chinese culture, the number three signifies wealth, so it is quite prom-

inent in Feng Shui. Once the front area is clean, you can hang three Chinese

coins tied together with a red ribbon from your door handle. Tie the coins on

the inside and visualize the money flowing into your house every time you

open your door. You can also buy a three-legged frog with a coin in its mouth

to attract wealth. You can typically find these in Asian grocery stores or shops,

or you can find them online. If you can’t find a three-legged frog with a coin,

you can always insert a coin yourself. The best place for your frog is diagonal

from the front door and under a foyer table. Also make sure the entryway is

well-lit. Natural light is best, so keep the blinds open during the day, but lamps

and other forms of light help, as well.

De-Clutter Every Room Energy is all around us, all the time. The Chinese believe that positive energy,

known as chi, can become blocked by clutter. When energy is blocked, it be-

comes stagnate and then

turns to negative energy.

That is why one of the main

principles of Feng Shui is

that you must de-clutter

your home. It’s important

to remember that getting

rid of the old makes way for

the new.

Start by clearing out everything that doesn’t need to be there. If you haven’t

used or thought about something in six months or more, get rid of it. Choose

a minimalist style with your furniture and decorations. Keep your space clear,

and place live plants in red and purple throughout to encourage the flow of

wealth. When choosing plants for your house, consider that bamboo is partic-

ularly lucky in the Chinese culture, but also, anything with round leaves works

well as the shape of the leaves resemble coins.

Wind chimes also attract good chi and wisdom. Hang a wind chime over your

desk or work space to increase prosperity in that area. The idea is that your

wealth will increase as your performance improves in your work life. You can

also hang wind chimes in windows that you open frequently to invite abun-

dance into your home.

You need to make sure that everything in your house has a place. If it doesn’t

have a place, it is considered clutter. Sometimes it can be challenging to get rid


EXPERTFENGSHUI.COM


of things that we don’t need, but in doing so, we free up more of our energy

to devote to the things we want. If your resistance to getting rid of items is the

fact that you spent money on them, then consider selling them. You can hold

a garage sale, list them on Craigslist or eBay, or you can take them to consign-

ment shops.

If you’re worried you will need something as soon as you throw it away, then

you are holding on to old energy patterns that block your chi moving forward.

Consider relationships. When we hold on to the baggage from old relation-

ships, they tend to carry over into new relationships, and usually, that baggage

causes issues in the new relationship. If you were with someone for five years

and they cheated on you, you may carry the belief that all partners cheat, and

so you never give your new partner the opportunity to prove you wrong. You

accuse them of cheating, even if they aren’t, and it causes a fight until eventu-

ally you break up. It’s the same concept with clutter in your home. If you carry

all that old clutter around, there is no room in your life for new things. Abun-

dance and prosperity will pass you by because you’re too busy holding on to

lack and clutter.

Pay Attention to Your Wealth SectorIf you hired a trained consultant to come in and help you balance the energy

of your home, he or she would consider when the building was built and your

birthday to help you accurately pinpoint the wealth sector of your home. You

can hire a consultant to do that, but it is generally accepted that the southeast

corner of your home is your wealth sector.

To maximize your wealth, you can find the southeast corner of each room

and place something that attracts wealth. The best objects are those that use

energy, such as fish tanks, live plants, or fountains. These items help keep the

energy flowing through each room. In the southeast corner of the house as a

whole, you should create an alter-like area where you hold the majority of your

items that represent wealth. For instance, this area is a great place to hang

your vision board, pictures of things you want to buy or that wealth represents

to you, or framed money. One of the best items to place in this area is a fish

tank. Fish are constantly in motion, and water is a major part of Feng Shui. As

you feed the fish, imagine the Universe feeding you abundance.

Bathroom and Kitchen AreasIt’s worth repeating that to achieve good Feng Shui energy in your home, you

need to clear the clutter. The bathroom and kitchen areas are no different. In

the kitchen, make sure your stove and refrigerator are clean, orderly, and also

in good working order. The stove is most often associated with wealth, so if

you want to improve the flow of wealth in your life, make sure your stove isn’t

stacked with pots and pans.

Feng Shui practitioners believe that water can wash away money chi. Con-

sultants recommend plugging sinks with rubber stoppers when they aren’t

in use to prevent the energy from flowing down the drain. You can also use

rocks or pebbles instead of a rubber stopper. The rocks help form a barricade

while also creating a pleasing aesthetic. You should also make sure that nei-

ther the faucets or the toilets are running. Proper maintenance and care of

these sometimes overlooked appliances not only saves you money, but from a

Feng Shui perspective, it helps keep the good energy in the house, which then

invites abundance.

Bedroom AreasAs with all the other rooms in the house, bringing life and energy to the room

is important. The easiest way to do that is with live plants. Choose flowers in

red and purple to invite wealth into the room. Just remember that dead plants

are a source of negative energy. If you don’t take care of the plant, don’t leave

it sitting in your room to stagnate the flow you’re trying to create.

Open your windows and let fresh air into the room. Stale, stagnant air blocks

energy, so open your windows at least once a day to promote air flow. The

fresh air does wonders to change the feeling of a room. You can hang three

coins tied with a red ribbon by the window to keep the good energy in, or you

can hang a wind chime in the window.

Make sure that you pay attention to your bed. If you feel particularly low in

energy, it could be related to your bed. First, do not position your bed directly

in line with your door. This depletes a room’s energy, and it messes with your

sleep patterns. Second, make sure your bed is clean and tidy. Fresh sheets are

a start, but it’s also important to clean the dust and dander from your bed.

Take time to vacuum your bed once a week, and make sure you change the

mattress every eight years, as recommended. To improve the wealth of your

space, try attaching three coins tied together with a red ribbon on all four

posts of the bed.

Avoid storing a lot of electronics in bedrooms. The constant hum of electricity

and blinking lights disrupts the flow of energy, and it is difficult to relax in that

environment. If you must have electronics in the room, be sure to put them

away when you’re not using them. It’s best to avoid putting a television in the

room, especially a room shared by romantic partners. Aside from disrupting

the energy in the room, it also puts a damper on romantic relationships.

Finally, make sure items in the room have a proper place, are grouped in twos

and threes, and that there is order and unity to the room. Visual symmetry

provides peace of mind, and it keeps the energy flowing through the room

evenly. Hang pictures in pairs, keep your throw pillows balanced on your bed,

and arrange your books in an orderly fashion.

Outside AreasThe outside area follows the same rule as the inside of the house. The wealth

sector is located in the southeast corner of the yard. Ensure that the yard is

properly trimmed and cleared of trash. Once you locate the right corner of the

yard, plant a garden and install a fountain. You can also include other symbols

of wealth, such as a windmill, wind chimes, or weather vanes. You can plant red

and purple perennial flowers in the area, place the lawn furniture in groups of

three, and install a fish pond. You can use many of the same techniques you

used for the wealth sectors inside your home.

Practitioners of Feng Shui discovered the many benefits of the practice long

before it was popular in the west. When it comes to wealth, a properly bal-

anced home can lead to great success. If you would like to see more wealth

and abundance in your life, start with these ideas and expand the energy in

your home. In the east, those who find success through Feng Shui techniques

do not sell their homes once they become millionaires. They keep it for luck

and continued good energy, even if they move into a new house.

When you find the right balance in your home, you’ll be able to experience

success on a different level. Everything we do is controlled by the energy we

put into it. If you have been unsuccessful in areas of your life, consider what

may be blocking your chi, and how you can overcome those blocks. There are

many methods, but Feng Shui is a good practice to help release stagnated

energy and usher in good energy. Those who find the right balance in their

homes discover that their wealth increases much more than just getting by

and paying the bills. They discover that with the right energy in place, they at-

tract the kind of wealth necessary to retire. Feng Shui is an ancient science and

art that many people have had success with, and it’s possible for you to have

that same success, as well.
