Prosperity Area of Your Space

In feng shui, the area connected to you financial prosperity and abundance is the Southeast of your Space (be it home or office). The element of the Southeast is Wood, so be mindful about not placing Metal or Fire objects or colors in this area, as Metal cuts the Wood and Fire melts it.

To encourage the energy flow in this area:

• Focus on strengthening the Wood element. Lush greenery, a source of water, actual or an image; colors Blue, Green and Brown are all excellent feng shui solutions.



• Bring images that speak to you of abundance. If you decide to go for traditional Chinese feng shui cures, be sure that you really do like them, you have to have this energy exchange for them to work. Otherwise, choose your own. Examples of Chinese cures are: Chinese coins, red tassels, three legged toad, images of ships in a harbour, koi fish, etc.



• Be sure not to have any clutter in this area, not even a trash can.



• Check often to see how this area looks and feels. Does the energy easily escape thru many windows or a back door in this area? Or, maybe it is partially missing?

Work with remedies like light, colors, crystals and mirrors to create a space that carries the energy of abundance and fresh flow.

Improving your love life with Feng Shui

Feng shui practitioners believe that the best way to attract love is to adjust your environment accordingly. Dingy surroundings, piles of clutter, and self-absorbed artwork can actually drive Cupid from your door. Here, then, are 10 simple feng shui love tips for finding your perfect mate ... or for increasing the passion in your long-term relationship or marriage.

Replace Images of Lone Figures With Pictures of Happy Couples:
Artwork has a tremendous impact on the subconscious. When you surround yourself with photos, paintings, sculptures and knickknacks of solitary figures, you'll carry yourself accordingly. Replacing such images with representations of happy couples will make you more receptive to love.

Create Cozy Seating Arrangements:
Single chairs send a loud and clear message to prospective suitors and spouses: Back off! If you're looking for love, create cozy seating arrangements from love seats, sofas and chairs. Putting chairs at comfortable angles to each other will signal that you're ready for a relationship.

Keep the Television Out of the Bedroom:
Nothing kills romance like the drone of late night television. If you have trouble falling asleep, try unwinding by reading love poetry or romantic novels. Your subconscious will shift accordingly, making you a virtual love magnet.

Treat Yourself to Sensual Bedding:
That old ratty pillow from college and those serviceable sheets aren't doing your sex life any favors. Go ahead and splurge on pillows, blankets and sheets that invite you to linger in bed.

Downsize From a King to a Queen
Sleeping on a huge mattress won't cultivate intimacy. Invest in a comfortable queen-sized bed if you'd like to find the love of your life. If you simply can't make the switch, make sure to sleep on patterned sheets to add some zest to your sex life.

Prepare for Company:
If you are single, clear out one of your dresser drawers, leave some empty hangers in the closet, and keep an extra toothbrush in the bathroom. When you demonstrate you are willing to share your space with someone special, your romantic prospects will soar.

Pull Your Bed Away From the Wall:
Pushing your bed against the wall effectively crowds out any chance for lovers to enter your life. Arrange your bed so that it has enough space to walk on either side. Before you know it, you'll be cuddling close with someone special, instead of hugging your pillow for comfort.

Make Your 'Relationship Gua' a Shrine to Love:
Using the front door of your home as a reference point, the far right corner of your home represents relationships and is known as the "Relationship Gua" in Feng Shui. Therefore, you need to keep this area intimate and inviting. A love seat illuminated with adjustable lighting is ideal for this special spot.

Keep the Family at Bay:
Your bedroom represents your romantic life. Therefore, the last images you want to see here are photos of dear old Mom and Dad. Children's artwork and toys will also undermine your sex life. Celebrate these relationships in other areas of your household, but keep your boudoir a private retreat.

Think Pink!
Warm colors like pink and red can enliven your love life considerably. Soft shades like rose, salmon and coral can attract a gentle partner who is attentive to your needs, while bold colors like scarlet, crimson and burgundy will draw a passionate adventurer to your side.

Feng Shui Tips for Business

There are some feng shui tips to improve your business and finance, below are some of them :

1. Always sit with a solid wall behind your back to ensure that you
have support in your life, never sit with a window behind you.

2. In the office always place the fax machine, telephone and
computers in the wealth area for more business.

3. Arrange the tables and chairs in a harmonious position so that
the chi is able to flow smoothly through in the room.

4. If you own a shop, try and place the till in your wealth corner,
even your petty cash tin. Order books can also be placed here with
Chinese coins tied together with red ribbon.

5. You should not have any cactus or sharp looking plants in your
office as these plants have small sharp leaves and therefore causes
'shar chi' in the office. The chi that rides on the wind will have to
pass through them causing chi to be fierce and sharp.

6. If your staff always fall sick in that area, then use a metal wind
chime made of 6 or 7 metal rods about 1 ft long are the best as the
sound of metal is the best feng shui cure. Others like metal sculpture
or metal object would not be that effective although they are also
metal in nature. Place a hanging crystal sphere to activate chi or
disperse negative chi.

7. In your office, never have the main door opening into your table
as the chi coming in will hit at your face causing you not to have
good luck but instead more obstacles and problems.

8. In a managers office you should try not to choose a room with
two doors, because the chil will go into that room and out the other
door.

9. The chi from the main entrance of your office should not meet
a wall inside the office. This is because the chi once it hits the wall
has to turn and therefore causing it to slow down hence your
businesses will be slow and not vibrant. Try using a hanging crystal
in your office entrance this will enhance chi.

10.Do not place the photocopy machine near to the main door.
The heat near the main door is frequently not preferred and causes
the chi to be hot and dispersed easily as more people are likely to
walk in and out thus carrying chi in and out too fast because the chi
is not allowed to stay for some time.

11.Do not place a paper cutter machine next to the main door. Cutter
machine is to cut papers. Therefore if it located here will cause staff
to back stab each other and fight too if one is not careful.

12.Do not place an empty vase next to the main door, as the new chi
once it enters to your office will be sucked into the vase causing nothing
much left for the environtment.

13.For corporate clients a fish tank placed in the wealth area is the best
for great results and success. However there are strick criteria's for the
fish tank that one has to follow.

14.The company signboard should be in the wealth area so that no other
competitors can be strong enough to beat you at your game.

15.Place an indoor fountain in your wealth corner, to activate chi.
These also have medical benefits.

16.Do not have clutter in your office, desks must be kept tidy and
clutter free. This is so important, an office in China would not have
these paper trays on desks, and most Americans companies now
employ the same approach.

17.Three Legged Toad God. This figure is used for attracting wealth
and abundance. Place this wonderful creature near your front office
entrance, facing into your office for luck and wealth, or place it in
the wealth sector of your office to magnify your wealth luck.
Always leave the coin in its mouth.

18.Crystal ball, apart from looking into future you can place on top
of phone to encourage more business calls. Also to attract wealth
and good luck, a great all round cure that every office should have
one.

19.Fu Dogs Male & Female, these protective animals are placed near
your doorway of your office to protect from evil influences. They are
a symbol of valor and prosperity.

20.Ba Gua Mirrors, if you have any negative energy directed at
your front office door, these Ba Gua Mirrors will disperse the
negative energy.
