Jump-start your career with Feng Shui

If there's a part of your life where you feel like a fish swimming upstream, then perhaps the career area of your home needs a makeover. This section is often located around the entrance of your living space. If your work is taking its toll, some revisions to this part of your home can help

Things to ADD:

Water: Water is the career element. If you've got one of those little table fountains, here's the best area for it in the home.

Black: Black is the colour of water in Feng Shui. Placing almost anything black here will help.

Mirrors: Mirrors equal water in Feng Shui, so feel free to load the career section with them.

Good career symbols: If you have a dream job in mind, put up a picture relating to that profession in the career area of your home. I've seen this cure work firsthand. One of my clients hung a photo of a woman hula dancing on the beach in her career area because she wanted the ocean in the photo to help boost her career. Then she began to get requests for dancing lessons from local groups. One day she noticed the dancer in the picture of her 'water cure' and realised that because she intended for that picture to be her career enhancer, she got not only the water but the dancer vibes too.

Glass: The fluidity of glass is a great representation of water. Enhance your career energies by placing glass vases, shelves and bowls in this place.

Things to REMOVE:

Earth: Dirt or anything that has soil involved will quickly muddy a career. Check for ceramic materials in the area, too, because they are earthy in their element.

Yellow: Yellow and earth-toned colours are too earthy for this water area of the home.

Squares: Squares are earth in Feng Shui, and so is flat stuff. Counterbalance tables, shelves and flat counters by placing objects with undulating forms on them, such as the glass objects mentioned above.

One final word is to clean, dust, paint and maintain your front door. Make sure there is nothing blocking the door. I see a lot of people who have double doors with a big pot or something in front of the non-opening door. I tell them, "It's like having half your mouth covered when trying to eat."
