Increase your prosperity with Feng Shui

Prosperity refers to more than just money; it's about feeling as if you have it all. It is about having faith that you are always somehow taken care of. To find the prosperity section of your space, go to the back left-hand one-ninth of your home or room and take a quick inventory.

Do you see anything immediately that would make you laugh and say, "Oh, that's why I'm always struggling for prosperity?" If you do, then remove that very thing and you will be instantly heading in a new direction towards more wealth.

Things to ADD:

Purple, red and green: These three colours support wealth energy in a space. A chunk of amethyst or jade can have special meaning if placed in the prosperity area of your home.

Symbols of wealth: Money, gold or stock certificates all play well in this corner of the house.

Jewels: I've seen a treasure chest created out of a little jewellery box overflowing with costume jewellery that I thought held quite a bit of prosperity power.

Symbols of 'having it all': Pictures of your kids or pets work well here. Collages or photos of items that you would like to have are inspirational too - just place them here and pretend that you have placed your order for them. When the order is up, you will receive them. Just remember, be careful what you wish for.

Healthy plants: Grow money in your accounts by growing a plant here.

Things to REMOVE:

Clutter: Get rid of it, especially if it is blocking access to furniture or a door, or is collecting dust because it has been there so long.

Leaks and peeling paint: If the ceiling is leaky and peeling away, so is your money.

Toilets: Toilets pull energy down and away. Since you can't really move your toilet if it falls in your prosperity gua, remember to keep the lid down as much as possible.

Cat litter boxes: 'Animal toilets' don't have the downward and away pull of energy, but they do have the same negative association as toilets - especially if they smell bad.

Broken stuff:
If something is broken in the corner, you probably are too.

Dead or withering plants: Anything obviously decomposing is not holding the energy you want in this area.

Dustbin: Like the toilet, this item can take away vital energy from you.

Improper prosperity symbols: Art that depicts items in a withering or decomposing state (old rusty chairs, sad or poor people) or reminders of your student days when you had no money should not be displayed here.
