Fengshui for Wealth

Feng Shui helps you to attract good ‘chi’ to enhance your wealth luck. Most of these cures as we refer to them in Feng Shui are based on the association of these features to the compass direction. They are effective and easy to implement.

Here’s how you can make a beginning:

Use Water features- These are very powerful cures to attract abundance and fresh ‘Chi’. Images of flowing water - waterfalls, seas, rivers, etc are also very good, as water is a symbol of abundance and life sustenance. Water images with lots of foam and open views are especially powerful. However, there are certain areas in the home and business, where water cures should not be displayed, for example in the South or North- East area.

Citrine, for example, is long known for attracting wealth, as well strengthening your self-esteem. It can be placed in a strategic place or worn as jewelry on body.

If you wish to enhance your material wealth luck, sleep with your head pointed at your ‘Prosperity’ direction. To get your Prosperity direction check “Know Your Personality” Sleeping in this position ensures general good luck and well being of the person.

The kitchen stove is the symbol of life force energy generated in a home; it should be properly positioned as it is an important factor in Feng Shui. The stove should face the household breadwinner’s “Prosperity” direction.

The main door also plays a vital role in Feng Shui. If wealth luck has been less than desirable lately, check for any obstruction or negative features near your door.

The element of Southeast is Wood and the color is green. This part of your house can be enhanced with the color green, black or navy blue. Avoid too much Metal or Glass in this section of your home or office. Reds or browns can be undesirable here too.

The kitchen stove, also known as the ‘fire mouth’ should be properly positioned as it is an important factor in Feng Shui. The stove can have a reflector behind like a mirror, steel panel or simply an aluminium foil sheet taped to the wall behind the burners; make sure it is big enough to reflect the stove. This doubles your luck.

An aquarium or pond with some fish (Ideally 8 gold and 1 black fish) will enhance the look and feel of your household. Balance its energy for growth. It can be suitably placed in the East or South- east direction.

Colors are also beneficial in attracting good ‘chi’. In the North of your home or office, display some items in black or navy blue color, Metal objects in pleasing features are great here too.

Healing Colors

Color therapy is often used in the healing rooms of alternative health practitioners. Color therapy is classified as a vibrational healing modality. Vibrational medicines incorporate the use of chi/energy within living organisms such as plants, gemstones and crystals, water, sunlight, and sound. By harnessing these forces for actual use in the process of healing and cleansing; vast improvements can be achieved.
Color is a form of visible light, consisting of electromagnetic energy. The seven colors of the rainbow have their own individual healing properties. So does white light in its entire splendor gives heat and heals with its warmth. The Sun alone is a wonderful healer. It is the primary source of all life existing on this plane and the main source of health and healing. Not surprising that lack of sunlight can be rather depressing to many people.
Color healing essentially involves color light, use of the required color in clothes ambiance, other accessories or visualizing the same for the balancing of colors. Auto-suggestions to balance energies lacking essential vitality could also be used in any area requiring healing related to physical, emotional, spiritual, or mental energy.
You can use colored transparent glass to look through light to improve color visualizing.

The Basic Elemental healing Colors are:

The healing color of the kidneys, reflection, creativity, search for life purpose.

Feng-Shui of Shapes and Colors

Fengshui corrections are interesting and fine tuned to suit individual needs as per the taste and decor of the space in question.
The Shapes and Colors referred to during such an audit are based on the Chinese Theory of the “Five Elements”. Ideally you could take broad guidelines from the following analysis and try out some corrections on your own.
The basic five elements are Water, Wood, Fire, Earth and Metal.

Representation of these elements is not always made of any one object or material as named. We can use the shape and color or feature of an object to define its element, not necessarily the material alone.
Taking for example the color you choose for a room, if you need the element of fire than its associated color is red but you could use purple, orange, pink or even sky blue as all of these are fire colors.Mixed colors have less or no good or bad effects.
If any color is to be avoided then it should not be the major proportion of a mixed shade.
T he same holds good for shapes and features. A square object is clearly an earth element, but if something is basically square with a round section then both the earth and metal elements are present.
Judgment is the key to determine how much of each element makes up the object or color and if an undesirable one is only there in small quantities, then it can be ignored. Generally, one element will dominate and only that one is to be the one to be considered. A second may be important, but attempting to work with too many would become confusing and impractical.
Water
Colors: Dark blue, Black or Grey
Shapes: Wavy or irregular
Examples: - Dark blue curtains or fabric, black objects, Grey walls or ceiling.
Wood
Colors: Green, Blue/green
Shapes: Long & thin, tall shapes
Examples: - Plants, shrubs, trees, poles, vertical patterns.
Fire
Colors: Red, Pink, Orange, Purple and Sky blue.
Shapes: Triangular
Examples: - Real fire, candles, lights and mirrors.
Earth
Colors: Brown, Yellow, Beige and White
Shapes: Square, Rectangular
Examples: - Wooden tables or furniture, Square ceramic plant pots, tiles or brick patterns.
Metal
Colors: White, Silver, Gold and Rust
Shapes: Round, Oval, Spherical
Examples - Metal objects, Spherical or round objects.
For Example: Wind chimes and chiming clocks can be used as metal elements; as in such case it is the sound of metal that is important. A wind chime in a quiet corner which does not ring is useless as it will not serve the purpose. A chiming clock is a good remedy as the round shape can also suggest metal so can a white dial. The regularity of the chime is helpful as an ongoing cure. The #5 time star( Flying Stars) is particularly well cured by this remedy; a swinging round metal pendulum makes things even better but should not be used in the South-West direction as it may cause health problems.

Solving a Problem

When the going gets rough, what can one do?

Look around you to see if others are sailing in the same boat or do you find that you have been singled out for the rough ride. In such instance you sure can find some solution; for the answer narrows down to one person only. In case you find that others by and large are facing the same set of difficulties than the problem lies in the big picture; which by the way is not largely in your hands.

In the earlier instance you can find a solution and try to better your situation. First and foremost approach the issue; is it personal? job related, concerns home issues, relationships and so on……..

Personal issues can be addressed by searching in astrological solutions; the options available are Nine-Ki-Astrology, Four Pillars of Destiny, or Chinese Astrology.

Job related issues can be assisted by the above coupled with Fengshui solutions placed in the office or workplace. Some simple corrections could be truly helpful.

Home issues can be simply corrected by application of Fengshui cures in your home.

Complicated relationship problems need all of the above methods and a lot of counseling individually or together taking the person/persons concerned into confidence.

In most instances the corrections can bring about results in a couple of weeks, one moon cycle i.e. a month or may be an entire year or even more depending on the magnitude, intensity of the problem, and the number of people involved.

In all of the above solutions the attitude, faith and mind set of the individual concerned is of prime importance.

A positive mind, belief in oneself and strength of faith can speed up the turning around of circumstances in ones favor.

All in all no matter what path you follow with the right attitude success is guaranteed.

A simple start can be implemented by enhancing the north of the home or office to allow solutions to flow in or clear way for better thinking.

• The correction can be to place a metallic/ceramic/glass decorative bowl of water with a spoonful of salt in it; the quantity of water should at least be about 250 ml or a little more and it should be changed everyday. The used water should be flushed down not used for any other purpose as it absorbs negativity.

• You can place a picture or poster of a pathway suitable size and pleasing to look at in the north for the same purpose.

• A black or deep navy blue door mat is also recommended. All of the above or a combination of these can be used.

The Most Important Thing

Once upon a time, long long ago in China there lived a Great King; he set out to seek the Truth. He wanted to be the most loved king and excel as a ruler. He was troubled by three questions

1. What was the most important time?

2. Who was the most important person?

3. What was the most important thing to do?

He set out alone riding his favorite horse, to meet a wise old sage who lived in the forest. The journey was long and tiring; being alone he had to look for food and water; he felt feeble and both he and his horse were tired too. In a daze he fell off the horse and fainted. Some wood cutters passing by carried him to the Sage’s hut. The king had badly injured his foot and was unconscious.

After a couple of days when he came to awareness he noticed the sage was cleaning and bandaging his wounded foot. He was told that he would have to stay there for a few days. The news was not sent to his kingdom of the same as no one knew in the forest that he was the king. He looked perturbed and thoughtful all the time. The king was amazed to see the sage looked calm, serene and happy all the time.

The next day when the sage was bandaging his foot some important visitors arrived from the neighboring kingdom; they had to wait a long time till he was done and only then did the old man meet them. Later in the day the king asked the sage his three questions. The man smiled and told him that the very same morning the answers to his questions were given. He went on to explain that when the old man was cleaning and bandaging the King’s foot in the morning; it was the most important time to do what he was doing, the king was the most important person to him at that time; and bandaging his foot was the most important thing to do at that time.

It made perfect sense the King realized; he was overjoyed to get his answers and wanted to make a huge offering to the sage; but the old man had by now recognized the king and asked him to follow the three principles in performing his duties towards his subjects; that would be his reward; which in turn made him the most loved king ever.

Remember when you decide to do some thing; now is the best time. The person you are doing it for is the most important person at that time. And what you are doing at that time is the most important thing.
