How to use Feng Shui to Improve your Finances

If you are financially down on your luck, or simply want to improve your net worth you will probably want to consider different methods of achieving your aims. One unusual way of clearing the pathway to economic success is to adopt the principals of Feng Shui, the ancient art of object placement. Through the centuries Feng Shui enthusiasts and experts have utilized this art as a means of helping bring forth that which they desire. With the correct placement of objects relationships are said to be improved, luck can change and wealth can be accumulated. Even if you’re skeptical, it couldn’t hurt to master Feng Shui in-order to see if you can improve your finances.

Clear out clutter

Before much can be achieved with Feng Shui it’s necessary to clear away clutter and rubbish from your abode, garden and office. Clutter attracts and holds negativity, or bad chi, also referred to as stale energy. Where ever you have piles or heaps of clutter you can be sure that bad chi is present.

Throw out rubbish and recycle unwanted items by giving them away or selling them. Then find effective storage methods which will enable you to put things away in an orderly fashion.

Reflective surfaces

Reflective surfaces, such as metallic objects, help to attract both light and wealth. This means that dull surfaces and dirty ones aren’t being used well. Therefore, clean windows and make mirrors, glass and metal objects shine by polishing them. You may also like to add some in strategic places to help increase your finances. For example, placing a mirror so that it reflects the rings on a cooker or an open or electric fire will do the trick.

Make way for good luck

Pave the way for good financial luck to enter your home or office by paying attention to the entrance. Throw out any dead plants, and attend to unhealthy ones. Make sure the entrance is bright, clear and clean, and place two identical objects at either side of your door to help keep financial balance and harmony. Also place a string of metal bells just outside your front door.

The first thing seen when a person enters a door is known in Feng Shui as a greeter. This is what sets the tone, or mood of your home or office. Make sure your greeter represents wealth, fortune and abundance. A bowl made of gold colored metal containing red and orange fruit will work, or a three star god, or golden cat of abundance and protection.

Symbols to attract wealth

Place three goldfish in a bowl in order to bring forth prosperity and hang a large picture of eight koi carp to encourage further good fortune. If you have plants make sure they are the types which have rounded leaves, like as a money plant has, and place them in the southeast. You may also benefit from placing a metal container full of coins in the northwest of your office or home. Place it in the corner, but make sure it’s out of view.

Symbols you may have come across, but wondered what they are for, might be strings of coins on a red ribbon and a three legged moonfrog with a coin in its mouth. Both are important according to Feng Shui regarding gaining wealth. The former encourages the sharing of money, and the latter attracts financial health and should be placed inside your home or office, facing inwards, rather than towards your front door.

As you can see there are many simple ways you can improve your finances with Feng Shui. A little tweaking here and there regarding tidying up, organizing objects and placing them in the right positions should make all the difference.
