Make Your Kitchen a Prosperity Magnet

Did you know that kitchens are ancient symbols of prosperity ? They are the place where people prepare food that nourishes the family. When we eat well and maintain good health, we can more easily attract abundance.

Here are a few simple tips that can make your kitchen a 'prosperity magnet'. The central focus of your kitchen should be the stove, which in feng shui is associated with prosperity because it radiates life-affirming energy.Magnify the radiant effect of your stove's burners by placing a mirror behind the stove. If your stove isn't against the wall, place a steel kettle on the burner. It will achieve the same reflective effect. To enhance the power of your stove, use all of your burners regularly when cooking. We sometimes get in the habit of using the same two burners over and over again.

In addition, keep your countertops clean and neat and ready for the next meal. Ask yourself if you have adequate room to prepare meals. If you don't, put away or let go of appliances that you don't use at least a couple of times a week.

When cooking, make sure you're in 'the command position', which in feng shui means having a view of the door. If you don't have a view of the door from your stove, hang a mirror so it reflects the doorway. The command position confers power and it's the safest position to work in.

Because our kitchen are associated with health and well-being, put away knives and trash. The sharp edges of knives emit sharp arrows of energy that can actually push prosperity away. If the first thing we see upon entering a kitchen is an open trash receptical, then all our efforts to summon prosperity may go into the trash! Either use a bin that has a top or place your trash can behind closed doors.

Avoid standing under heavy pots or pans that are suspended on a rack over your head. Pots and pans in this position push energy downward and can affect your physical well-being depending on how long you stand under them. You can get headache or shoulder pain even lose your concentration.

Flowing water is also a symbol of prosperity, but if it's flowing down the drain, your prosperity may flow along with it! Fix dripping faucets as soon as possible.

Place symbols of health and prosperity in your kitchen. A colorful arrangement of fruits or flowers, artwork that represents health and well-being, photoes of you and your family feeling their best, or a personal symbol that lifts your spirits can all act as energetic focal points that attract positive energy. The end result is a kitchen that enhances your feeling of prosperity.
