Invite Prosperity with Feng Shui

Feng shui, the art of designing a harmonious space where energy can flow freely, has been used for thousands of years to improve many aspects of our lives. When using these principles to attract prosperity, you’ll find you also attract abundance in many other areas of your life, such as work, friendships and love.

First, locate your wealth corner — this can be in one of two places. In the traditional model, the feng shui corner is in the southwest area of your home or any room in it. In the western school of thought, it’s in the back left corner of any space when standing from the entryway.

Here are a few ways you can spruce up your wealth corner to attract abundance:

• Add lush houseplants
• Bring in natural light
• Accessorize your wealth corner with gold-toned quartz crystals
• Incorporate flowing water with an indoor fountain, aquarium or artwork
• Decorate in greens, browns, purples, blues and gold

In addition to your wealth corner, there are ways to attract abundance in other areas of your home:

• Set a bowl of oranges in your kitchen or living room. They not only bring luck, they’re tasty too!
• Ensure your stovetop is clean and in working order. Change which burner you use on a daily basis.
• Hang a large mirror so that it reflects your dining room table.
• Remove excess clutter around your home.
• Create an inviting entryway and be sure to walk through it at least once a day.

When your home makes you feel balanced, comfortable and happy, you’ll know you’ve achieved the right kind of energy to attract abundance in all of its forms.
