subject: Financial Feng Shui Decorating For Success [print this page] Many people are surprised when they are told that their home and work surroundings can actually affect their financial health. The southeast area of a home or workplace is considered the area connected to money. To take advantage of this area and draw wealth you need to know how financial feng shui decorating is done.
The first step is always determining just where the southeast section is located at. This is not the southeast direction from where you walk in the door, but the actual direction of southeast that needs to be established. Once that is done, taking a look at that area of the home or workplace is needed to see just what condition it is in. People who experience money problems or who are not happy with their finances usually find that their wealth areas are in poor shape or have been ignored.
Now it is time to clean up the wealth area by starting with the clutter. Get rid of everything that is just not needed or gets in the way. This includes closets and rooms that fall in the wealth area, even if not being used to work in or have anything to do with making money. They carry the wealth energy in them, and that is where the energy needs balanced at. You want the energy to flow in the room, not be blocked by clutter, piles of stuff or trash.
Getting rid of all the clutter in the home can actually help once the wealth section is cleansed. Clutter just makes things look and feel very disorganized and this can increase stress levels quickly, especially when looking for something in all that mess. Cleaning all the areas around the wealth area can help to release energy and allow energy to flow freely around the home.
When the area is back in shape and all the clutter gone, it would be a good idea to attract money energy by sprucing the area up a bit. Using decorative and elemental items is essential. A good place to start is to bring some plants in. The greener and healthier they are, the more energy they will attract, this is especially true when placed in a southeast corner. As the plant grows and flourishes so does the prosperous energy in your life, but like with anything it will take care and time.
Metal is another element that is used for attracting wealth and protection. This can easily be incorporated into any room by using silver vases or picture frames, as well as bronze sculptures or even metal awards. All kinds of metals work, even brass and aluminum. The important thing is to stay away from sharp edges; sharp corners in a room should always be avoided when possible.
Colors are an important part of life, they bring vitality and light and according to Feng Shui, blue, red, and purples are most associated with enhancing wealth. Purples and reds provide a supporting energy to do with your career efforts. And, blues are connected to the element of water which is a symbol of abundance. Browns and greens are also feng shui cures for wealth and prosperity as they represent the energy of growth, health, and vitality which are the expressions of abundance.
Financial feng shui decorating in a home and workplace is popular and believed to increase wealth and prosperity. As these are only a few sample things to do, aquariums, crystals, and symbols such as the Moon Frog can also be incorporated in the decor. When decorating using symbols and energy attractors, always make sure to use pieces you like so you feel positive in the room also.
