Hey there, fellow seekers of good vibes and positive energy! Today, once again, we're diving headfirst into the fascinating world of Feng Shui.
For the past two Feng Shui articles, we discussed whether your bed was in the "coffin position" and whether you should have a mirror in the bedroom. Today, we'll cover the "Wealth Corner" of your home.
The Quest for Wealth Energy in Your Home
Let's start with the basics: Did you know that your home and each room have their own little money magnets called wealth corners? Yep, you heard me right. Money corners!
The Two Ways to Find Your Wealth Corner
So, how do you locate these elusive pockets of wealth energy? There are two schools of thought here: Classical Feng Shui and Western Feng Shui. Today, we're keeping things laid-back and going Western.
The Western Bagua Map:
Point 1: Locate Your Wealth Corner
- Here's what you need to know about the Bagua Map (if you're so inclined - there's more detail at that link).
- You can print out a copy of the Bagua Map here or use the one above as a mental guide as you find the wealth corner in a room.
- Stand at the room's door or the front door of the whole house, and hold the map physically flat with the title at the top of the page as a guide to the direction.
- Your wealth corner for the home is the top left area of the house, as it is for each room.
Point 2: Embrace the Element of Wealth
Now, here's where things get colorful – literally. According to the Feng Shui Bagua Map, the element that brings the big bucks is wood, and the color choices are as vibrant as a rainbow: purple, green, gold, red, and blue.
Ready to Decorate Your Wealth Corner? Here's What You Can Do:
Wood Frames: Picture this - a wooden-framed photo featuring a wealth-related scene, like a tropical beach holiday or a luxurious cruise ship. Just make sure that the water feature is squeaky clean. If you're jazzing up your bedroom's wealth corner, hang that photo above a dresser and add a tabletop waterfall. Some say you shouldn't have water in the bedroom, but hey, it's your call!
Plants and Mirrors: For some leafy green charm, consider Bamboo, a Money Tree, or a Fern. Or, throw a mirror into the mix, just not in your bedroom. Still, some folks swear it's no biggie, so do what feels right for you.
Shapes and Crystals: Go rectangular with a wooden accessory housing Citrine or Pyrite Crystals. If those crystals are large and in charge, let them shine as the star of your wealth corner show.
Bowl of Oranges: Oranges are a symbol of good luck and wealth, so create a lovely presentation for your wealth corner that happens to be in the kitchen.
Position a Tortoise or a Money Frog in your Wealth Corner: Choose ones made of glass, resins, mud, metals, wood, and crystals
An Added Overall Tip: Paint your front door red; yep, you heard correctly. Red. Red is considered good luck and is said to bring opportunity and good luck to a home. Darn! My door is blue!.
Declutter, Declutter, Declutter!
Whether you're a Feng Shui enthusiast or just tidying up, remember to keep your space clean and clutter-free. That way, positive energy can flow like a champ throughout the room. Bright lighting, groovy tunes, pleasant scents, and a touch of candle magic can also work wonders.
Hold Up! What NOT to Include in Your Money Corner:
- Piles of clothes, boxes, or general chaos.
- Plants that have seen better days.
- A stack of unpaid bills (nobody wants that energy).
- That noisy paper shredder - let's banish it elsewhere.
- Leave your tools out of this.
- Garbage cans or recycling bins? Nope, keep them hidden.
- Sad or gloomy images - we're all about the good vibes.
- Say no to painful memories and negative vibes.
- Old, unattractive furniture - it's time for an upgrade.
- And remember, while a touch of fire or metal is okay, don't overdo it in your wealth corner.
There you have it, folks – the secret to unlocking wealth energy in your home. Go forth, decorate those wealth corners, and let the money vibes flow!
