PROSPEROUS ZONES

-

Has your home lost that loving feeling? Do you feel nurtured when you are at home? Is it lacking vital energy that makes you feel alive and nurtured? Maybe it’s time to add a dose of positive energy into your space.

In Feng Shui, every physical object around us produces a correspond­ing effect either good or bad. The smallest change in these objects’ arrangemen­ts can spell the difference between success and failure, between a bustling business and a doomed enterprise, between a happy marriage and one riddled with irritants, between long life and bad health.

Feng Shui literally means wind and water. Wind represents the unseen in our lives and water represents the seen. A gentle breeze or a meandering stream symbolizes the ideal flow of chi or energy in our environmen­ts.

Too little flow and air is stifling and water becomes stagnant. In other words, things are stuck. If chi is moving too fast, a hurricane or flood can result and everything goes rushing by us. In order to be balanced, “be the flow” and be prosperous, the flow of chi in our surroundin­gs need to be balanced.

The first step toward prosperity is to get the stuck “chi” ( energy) within us and around us flowing again. The main cause of being stuck is clutter. Clutter includes piles, disorganiz­ation, things you no longer need, use, or love, anything in disrepair, unfinished projects; and dirty things. All of these things distract you on at least a subconscio­us level as it takes energy to manage all that stuff. Clear that clutter, look carefully at items given to you by someone who didn’t want them anymore, they carry with them the energy of the previous owner and the circumstan­ces under which the items were given to you (divorce, etc.). Take them away. By donating unwanted items to a worthy cause, you feel good and in the process start that flow of prosperity moving. As you clear the clutter, do so with the conscious intention that you are doing so to make room for the new in your life, to make room for desired prosperity.

One of the most important sector of your home is the “prosperity sector" which can be identified on the basis of your building orientatio­n, main door and living room direction. A very effective cure to enhance prosperity in Feng Shui is the use of moving water. Water and fish are linked to prosperity in Feng Shui hence placing an

The element associated with this sector is wood, so making this a good place for a healthy plant, especially one with rounded (avoid pointed) leaves would be quite good. You could also use a painting of a prosperous looking scene, or something else that is meaningful to you. When you enhance this area with whatever you choose, do so with the conscious intention that you are doing so to bring more prosperity to your life.

If your house or office is missing out one or more corners, pay attention to those areas and try to correct them, lest they turn out to be your prosperity or relationsh­ip corner which could create obstacles in your life path in terms of prosperity and harmony.
