12 Feng Shui Prosperity Cures For Demanding Times

Posted on by
“Where you find peace is where your home is.”
– Chinese Proverb
Split second changes in the economy, world affairs and especially our personal relationships can utterly alter our sense of security. It’s in demanding times like these that Feng Shui rises to the top to offer a unique moment to stage our homes to offset instability. The natural world has always befriended mankind. Flora and fauna are no stranger to textiles, art and home furnishings in Chinese Feng Shui. Surrounding ourselves with robust creatures and auspicious greenery invoke their highest strengths that help us claim our prosperity and sense of well being. Strategically placed plant and animal symbols garner opportunities, bless our dwellings and uplift the Ch’i. Representations of dragons, horses, peonies, orchids, bamboo… on our walls, hallways and lawns suffuse our spaces with joy, luck, prosperity and safety. In this May blog discover how to attract a partner with an orchid, where to place a horse to create success, what tree will improve your children’s education and much more. Selectively placed, these Black Sect Feng Shui cures, I believe, will help you and your family to flourish. 

If you daydream about a partner look to the orchid to find the individual who is just right for you, for the orchid symbolizes refinement, friendship and beauty. Enhance this adjustment when you place a pink or purple orchid in the Relationship gua (Kun – far right back of the house or the bedroom). Pink is the color that represents Kun. Visualize the perfect person walks into your life. You will know they are the one.

The magnificent horse has advanced human civilization for countless centuries. When you place an image of a horse galloping into your home, this suggests “you may advance speedily to your goal”. Because the Chinese language is layered with homonyms, puns are used with fervor. The number eight rhymes with the word ‘to prosper’ or ‘to attain wealth’. When you place eight horses in a framed image or a sculpture of eight horses in the Helpful People Gua, you call upon horse’s energies of power, endurance, firmness and strength. 

A tree shaped like a pyramid is auspicious in Knowledge for it reinforces the shape of the trigram- mountain. Plant this tree shape in the front left corner (facing the house from the road) to ensure your children absorb the knowledge that will help them advance in their studies.

Animals that live in or along the ocean contain the vastness of Water. And Water symbolizes wealth. Wealth is desirable because it correlates to freedom, freedom to choose how you want to live and go where you want to go and do what you want to do. Landscape the front corners of your property and you create a rounded shape like a crab shell. This auspicious shape will bring:
Great wealth and prosperity.
Blessings and success to the offspring
Enhance fame and spread one’s good name far and wide.

The gracious bamboo with its ability to bow in the wind represents vitality and flexibility. And as long as it remains healthy it showers the recipient with its blessings of peace and prosperity. It teaches dignity, wisdom, longevity and fidelity. Three bamboo stalks in the Wealth gua are auspicious. Three stalks represent the trinity of happiness, wealth, and longevity (also represent past, present and future). Adding a fourth stalk represents stability, strength and power.

Flowers and their meaning are deeply embedded in Chinese culture and they serve to convey epic messages that express powerful positive emotions. A peony, the national flower, stands tall and symbolizes prosperity, happiness and peace. A peony in a vase expresses the wish for prosperity and peace because the vase symbolizes peace. Pictured with a lotus, chrysanthemum and plum blossom, the peony symbolizes “peace and fortune in the four seasons.” An auspicious placement for one’s bedroom or the Wealth gua.

Divine beast, the imperial dragon is regarded as descending from the Heaven realm. Its intense power delivers great good fortune. The Dragon brings upon the essence of life, in the form of its celestial breath, known as ‘shing ch’i’. It yields life and bestows its power in the form of the seasons, bringing water from rain, warmth from the sunshine, wind from the seas and soil from the Earth. Being a divine mythical animal, the Dragon can ward off wandering evil spirits, protect the innocent and bestow safety to all that hold his emblem. Displaying a five toed gold dragon (not red for that is a cooked dragon) in your Helpful People area of either your bedroom, home or office petitions the creative force of Heaven to enhance your life. 

When the voluptuous persimmon appears as a symbol it denotes an energy which would remove the obstacles and allow things to proceed smoothly. When the cypress, ganderma and the persimmon fruit are combined it implies that things should be not just unobstructed but also as ‘willed’. Your business will bloom during demanding times when you plant a persimmon tree for in the Chinese language persimmon sounds like “booming market”. Place an image of a persimmon in the Children gua and be ready to receive winning ideas to bolster your business.

If you are a coach, a mentor or wish to teach, place an image of a plum tree in your home in most any area of the house. But if you want to share your wisdom effectively place it in the Knowledge gua. Here it will foster the qualities of a charismatic teacher and student relationship. The metaphor of plum means students everywhere (around the world).

Associated with luck, long life and the divine fruit of the gods, the Chinese believe the peach can make people perpetually young and peach petals create an intense trance of love. The peach tree represents longevity and the peach wood wards off evil. If you are searching for a partner place peach blossom petals in a bowl in the Relationship gua of your bedroom. Once you have found your beloved remove the petals (for you might attract another suitor) and replace them with an image of a peach tree to create a long lasting relationship. When you are certain of your partner take the image down and either plant a pear tree in your back yard or hang an image of a pear tree in your Relationship gua. The sound of pear in the Chinese language is the same as sharing.

More than just prized for its eminence, the tiger in China is considered the king of all beasts as it symbolizes power and a great deal of nerve. Traditionally it is a symbol of luck, success and achievement. The embodiment of ‘yang’ enery the tiger is a ‘solar animal’ and associated with the sun, summer and fire. It represents protection, generosity, illumination, but also unpredictability. It is revered as the symbol that wards off the main disasters of a household – ghosts, fire, and thieves. Tigers are also associated with the God of Wealth, who is often seen sitting on a tiger in Asian art. In ancient Chinese myth, there are five tigers that hold the balance of cosmic forces and maintain harmony. Place an image of a tiger in your Fame gua (center back section of the house) if you are looking to enhance your career. But never place two tigers in your bedroom for you may destroy  your partnership as it is known that tigers will claw each other to the death. 

If a deer crosses your path you are lucky. This gentle ungulate is an omen for happiness and riches. Its name is a homonym for the word abundance and it is known for its endurance, grace and long life. Deer is regarded as a symbol for longevity in China. The God of Longevity is often shown with a deer and it is reputed to be able to locate the herbs of immortality. Deer statuary will bring happiness and good fortune. If you have an inauspicious pillar placement in your home, hang images of dragons and/or other auspicious animals on the pillar such as a deer, a phoenix… and visualize that these images will bring you wealth and status.

Want Wealth? Mirror Abundance With Feng Shui

Posted on by

“The daily practice of gratitude is one of the conduits by which your wealth will come to you.”
–Wallace D. Wattles

Warmed with food and spiced with sweet greetings and joy, Thanksgiving day our homes mirror simple abundance. and invite a timeless grace to wash over us filling our hearts with love, laughter and appreciation.

We can reflect this feel-good abundance often. A mirror in the Feng Shui metaphor has many functions. It draws in auspicious Ch’i, expands an image, strengthens an image, reduces a threat plus much more. If we want happiness, a robust career, prosperity, success for our children, a loving relationship, time for travel…Feng Shui can support our desires. In deep gratitude for you I am sharing seven wealth cures I believe will bring you comfort and joy for the holidays.

If you want more wealth. Place a mirror on your office desk face up in the Wealth area. Your intention creates a deep well to hold the money you gain.

If you want draw money in quickly. Place a concave mirror in the Wealth gua of your home to attract money quickly. It may come in the form of a lump sum from a single source.

If you want to expand the range of money sources, place a convex mirror in the Wealth gua of your home or bedroom to expand the dimensions of offerings.

If you are working hard and are seeing no results for your efforts especially in the area of financial gain, you may have a contrary door (the door opens to a wall). Place a large mirror (do not cut off   the head of the tallest person in the house) on the wall to dissolve the blocking wall.

If you have felt closed off and stifled check the placement of your bed. If the foot of the bed is close to the wall, place a mirror on the wall at the foot of the bed to broaden your thoughts. You may be inspired with big ideas about making big money.

If you and your partner argue about money, place a round mirror above the bed in the bedroom to soften harsh words between you. You may come to agreements quickly and plan how to use your finances more equitably.

If money comes in and goes out quickly, place a convex mirror over the door in the Wealth gua to absorb money that is leaking out the back.

If you are hindered by bad luck in your financial dealings, place a mirror on the ceiling above the stove. It will lift up your assets as the stove is symbolic of your money source.

Thank you for being here. I appreciate you! Please have a healthy and happy holiday season.

Welcome To Good Fortune

Posted on by

“At least once a day, allow yourself the freedom to think and dream for yourself.”
– Albert Einstein

Opportunities for good fortune are everywhere and those who are prepared seize the moment. Preparedness is when your heart and mind are in coherence with what you wish to accomplish. At the heart of the simplest success story is the alchemy of clarity and focus. These attributes are the building blocks for that momentum which fulfills one’s goal.

It’s no secret that wealthy people understand that focus, clarity and preparedness combined are the daily strategy for good fortune. These folks listen to their inner voice and keep a consistent attitude. They believe in their self worth; it is the hallmark of their success. They are alert, innovative and turn over every stone when it comes to generating new ideas. They ‘think outside the box’.

If you are looking for inspiration in your career or want more time to enjoy life’s pleasures or desire to increase the good fortune in your life, now might be the time to reflect upon where to expand your thinking. Who better to turn to than Albert Einstein for some pithy insights. I also included four ‘uncommon’ Feng Shui adjustments that may help you broaden your perception about how our environments influence our ability to make and keep money.

Have holy curiosity
Persevere in every endeavor
Use your imagination
Make mistakes
Create value
Spend time alone 

BTB Feng Shui Money Cures

Lift the Ch’i of the House A fan (the type that can lay on its side) on top of the house can save you from serious financial difficulty. Take an old fan and place it on top of your roof, horizontally not standing up, so the wind will blow it. Make sure it is connected and works. You do not have to hooked it up electrically. You do not have to keep it running. But you need to be able to turn it on so make sure it is set up properly. It raises the Ch’i not only of the house but of everyone in the house. That’s the yin piece of the cure. Place it on the tallest part of the roof.

Capture the Winds of Change If you are suffering from financial loss place something associated with a wind mill into the Wealth corner of the Bagua. Or place it into the Career gua to generate money from your career. Or place it in the Family gua so all the members of your family will make money. Or if you need a new beginning in your financial life you can place a windmill or an image of one in the Family gua. Good fortune will soon arrive.

Pray to the Divine When you want to make a decision about money and you have difficulty deciding what to do such as buy a house or not buy a house; if you are unclear or cannot focus on a course of action to take… choose a Buddha as your deity. For example pray to Acala Buddha, also referred to as the “Immovable Buddha”. He is the Buddha of Roosters (in the Chinese Zodiac astrology). Praying to this Buddha will help you decide on a course of action or focus, in this case, on the issue of money.

Cultivate Intuition “The intuitive mind is a sacred gift…”(Albert Einstein). The yin of wealth consciousness is practice connecting to your intuition daily whether it’s spiritual breath work or meditation. A half hour of this type of inner work, what Tony Robbins coined your ‘30 minutes to thrive’, will increase your ability to make accurate decisions when dealing with money. If you do not have a special room to practice, check out my June 2018 blog, Sacred Space Is Where You Find Yourself  for how to create a space of your own.

A Feng Shui Money Cure To Make The Season Bright

Posted on by

“Our beliefs, mindset and emotions are the keys to an abundance mentality and attracting wealth effortlessly”
–Juliana Park, CFP

There are people who stay afloat in the most difficult of financial situations. They are not subject to the whims of a bear market nor a real estate slump. Money always seems to be within reach. How they maintain the flow of positive experiences in their lives is they practice wealth consciousness. Wealth consciousness is a belief immersed in abundance–an abiding affirmation that beauty, meaning and relationships exist in the world and surround them. They do not dwell on loss nor lack. They let go of the anxiety that seeds scarcity. They vanquish fear because they understand the law of attraction: what their mind attunes to, expands and becomes manifest.

To live at this level of certainty requires a shift in perspective and money will come. Evelyn Lim explanation of wealth in terms of money sums it up: “If you think of wealth in terms of money, then you will need to believe that there is plenty of money to go around and you have a share in that too. To be conscious of all the abundance that is available to everyone, to be aware there is plenty of money for everyone, is to have wealth consciousness.”

If you’ve been less than happy with your finances, managing your money affairs, even seeing results from your Feng Shui wealth cures, maybe doubt is flooding your consciousness. A closer examination of your beliefs about wealth, monitoring your thoughts about abundance and directing your attention away from lack can produce extraordinary results.

Envision there is plenty of money for everyone and this mythical Feng Shui money cure will surely put extra cash in your pocket to enjoy the holidays. Because sometimes all it takes is one decision, one adjustment, one cure to create lasting, positive change.

Three Legged Toad To Gather Wealth
Ch’an chi, the Money Frog
A fortune frog or money frog, is a mythical three-legged frog with red eyes and blazing nostrils. It carries a coin in its mouth and sits upon a pile of gold coins or Chinese cash with a string of coins at its feet or a crown around its head. The coin has a good fortune symbol and faces up to attract wealth and the crown or string of coins around its feet offers protection from misfortune. The coin in the mouth of the toad, specializes in calling forth wealth and it is said to be calling out to other coins. Legend says the creature emerges on the full moon to sit by the door of people with wealth and good fortune headed their way. The myth goes on to say the toad loves money and treasures.

Look for the following characteristics when buying the Lucky Money Toad:
Red eyes
Three legs
Seven star formation on its back
Five-Luck Coin of Emperor Qianlong in its mouth
Sitting upon coins or golden nuggets

You can place the Three Legged Toad either in your home or office. Either place it in the Wealth gua of the home or office, or you can place it in the Wealth gua of your office desk.
Here is the secret within the secret:
Every day during the day, place the toad facing the main door. Visualize that the toad is going out during the day to seek wealth and bring it home. Every night at night, face the toad into the home or office. Visualize that the toad is returning with lots of money. It is important to commit to this secret movement every day. Otherwise, you lose money (Professor Thomas Lin Yun). Adding a ruby (or red stone) in the middle of the ancient coin in the toad’s mouth symbolizes “kissing the stone”, a homonym for “sure profit.”

I have not purchased from these sources but the images and description meet the criteria for the Three Legged Money Frog.

A Guide To Anchor Abundance In Your Home

Posted on by

“Abundance can be had simply by consciously receiving what already has been given.”
–Sufi saying

According to Chinese philosophy, Heaven Luck, Earth Luck and Human Luck are the cosmic trinity that shape the course of our lives. July 12th big Heaven luck becomes available to all of us and into the coming weeks. “The solar eclipse will be in the area of the sky called Punavarsu in Vedic Astrology, which means “return to the light”. Endless improvement and new possibility abound within the star. This is a star that promises renewal and new growth, even against impossible odds. Punarvasu holds the shakti of wealth and substance and is symbolized by a quiver of arrows.

This eclipse has to the potential to accelerate motion…if there are places in your heart….money, time and emotional labor weighing you down; this solar eclipse can shoot the arrow of positive transformation into motion.”
– Kari Field   

It’s the perfect time to make use of your unlimited ability to create the good in your life and your home is a powerful vision board to support that good. Beginnings have magic. Start on this solar eclipse, infuse your home with new energy and you will magnify the momentum that the stars have initiated. Reinventing your home enables you step into more of who you are. So in the spirit of supporting positive change and abundance, I have created this quick guide to open heaven’s gate to help you receive the good you desire.

Front Door/Chi Kou. Your front door invites into your home the ch’i of health, wealth, heaven, helpful people and opportunities. Its position favors your career, your future, your reputation, your head and your health. Take an assessment. Is it bright when you enter? Is there a pleasant fragrance or sound? Do you feel welcomed? If not then you are not expanding your abundance. Elevate your energy with the vital, life force of one, three or nine vital plants depending on the size of your entrance. If your entryway is dark and small, hanging a large mirror will expand the space. Put the spotlight on you when you install a light to come on or a chime to sound as the door is opened. Create a focal point! Place something opulent here, hang a crystal chandelier, an antique vase with peonies, a glass bowl of oranges (in the Chinese language oranges sound like gold). Red is a joyful color and auspicious. Add a red framed picture of person, place, animal (yes, red flamingo) or calligraphy that puts a smile on your face.

Helpful People Gua/Chien. Helpful People are those who make life easier. This is the realm of Heaven in the I-Ching. The Helpful People position in the house is in the front right corner. When you place an adjustment here, it stimulates movement in its opposite gua, Wealth. Images associated with this area are fruit trees, a prominent sky, the famous, a dignified ruler, dragons, lions, elephants, geese, horses and deer. Deer are deeply connected to prosperity and often replaced the God of Prosperity in ancient Chinese paintings and images because the words for deer and prosperity sound identical. An image of one hundred deer represent ‘prosperity one hundred times over.’ A simpler option is to display a painting or sculpture of a deer in your home or office and visualize the qualities of status, honor and advancement. These qualities are on the same vibration as abundance.

Wealth Gua/Hsun. The Wealth corner in your home is in the far left back corner of the house. Movement represents this gua. Water gliding along miniature rocks in a celadon green fountain, grasses blowing in the wind within gold frame, eight red fish surrounding one black fish painted on a scroll or a mirror that reflects the limitless sky. A classic Feng Shui wealth adjustment is imagine the wide array of possibilities such as an inheritance, winning the lottery, a monetary gift from a friend when you hang a convex mirror in this area of your home.

Center/Tai Chi. Your health is your wealth. The Center of your home represents health. If there is a lot going on here, it will “grab you in the gut”. If this is Grand Central Station you may experience digestive issues. A bathroom can deplete all areas of your life. Stairs manifest fluctuation in your finances. But if no specific design detail as mentioned is in this area that depletes this area, come to the center to set your life straight. Color lifts moods and feelings. One of the colors that represent the Center is yellow (gold too). It stands for power which is why the emperor of ancient China donned gold robes. Yellow gives a sense of tolerance, patience and wisdom gained from past experiences. Enhancing your personal power with yellow or gold, lifts your personal abundance and enables you to deal with any life situation with grace, flexibility and ease. Gold sconces, a golden statue, a golden light fixture, a yellow or golden circular rug, any one of these will focus your energy. Remember to add your intention.

Family Gua/Jen. Family harmony is foremost in the attainment of the Five Fold Happiness–an important concept to achieve: long life, wealth, peace, virtue and honor. When you honor the beginning of a season (such as the solar eclipse), career or project, you draw more luck to it. Placing an adjustment to honor family sets the tone to create good luck. The Family gua is the middle left side of the house. The Chinese Dragon is looked upon as the ultimate symbol of good fortune. It represents fertility, immortality, happiness, power and wealth. Fire up the untapped dragon within you by placing an image of a green Dragon in this area of your home. Green symbolizes hope, freshness and spring growth and the implementation of this enhancement raises the good healthy earth ch’i in your home.

Today, July 12, is an auspicious day. The energy generated from performing one cure will create a quickening, I hope you take the opportunity to start the magic of abundance.
