With tax season just behind us here
in the U.S., many people have finances on their minds, either waiting
for that refund check to arrive, feeling the pinch of a tax bill just
paid, or hoping they will somehow do better this year. If your wallet
is feeling lighter than you'd like it to be this month, try one of these
three quick feng shui wealth enhancements for your home or office.
RICE BOWL: Fill a small bowl with 1-2 cups of uncooked rice (preferably
organic). It's best - but not absolutely essential -- if the bowl is
new and purchased especially for this purpose. Place 3, 6, or 9 coins
in the rice. You can either bury the coins in the rice or insert them
sideways so part of the coin sticks out above the surface. If you have
incense sticks around, place three sticks of incense in the rice as
well. Place the rice bowl in a prosperity power spot or on your home
altar, with the intention that it will help you to experience a healthy
cash flow.
LUCKY PENNIES: At the end of each day, take all the loose coins
from your purse or pocket and put them in a bowl or coin bank (a Lucky
Cat coin bank is perfect for this, but you can use any kind of container)
near your front door or in a wealth power spot. Do this every day for
27 days. On day 28 count up your coins and spend that money on some
kind of a treat, and enjoy the experience of having extra money to spend
on something non-essential.
FOUND MONEY: Challenge yourself to see how many pennies or other
coins you can find in the next 3 weeks. Keep an eye out for stray coins
on the sidewalk or anywhere else they may appear. Whenever you see one,
pick it up, and say "thank you!" Start each day by visualizing for a
moment that you've found another coin, being sure to feel the satisfaction
and appreciation that it brings to you. Collect your found coins in
a bowl or other container in the wealth corner of your home or office.
Although you may not find a coin every day (my personal best is 3 consecutive
days, but that's still far above what most of us consider "normal"),
it is likely that other kinds of surprise cash will come to you while
you do this, such as a friend repaying you for a $20 loan you'd forgotten
about, or an unexpected discount or rebate on a purchases. The important
thing is to expect "found money" to come into your life, and to notice,
claim, and appreciate it when it does show up.
As you create and place your wealth cures, be sure to visualize your
cash flow increasing as though that is already your reality. Focusing
on your need for or lack of money is counterproductive. And please keep
in mind that cash flow cures - while fun and often very effective -
are just one aspect of feng shui, and are not a substitute for making
any other changes or improvements that may be indicated for your space.

Shui Q+A
(Most questions will have been edited for clarity
and length, and any identifying details have been changed. Please note
that due to the high volume of email I receive, it is no longer possible
for me to respond to every question personally. I still welcome your
questions, and if I cannot provide a personal response I will try to
address your issue in a future Q+A column.)
Q:: I have done a lot of clearing and
de-cluttering recently, but things seem to have taken a turn for the
worse. My business is very slow and the money is coming in slower. Did
I do something wrong? I've tried strengthening my wealth area, but I
don't know what else to do.
A: You should expect that getting rid of the clutter in your
space will create some big shifts in the energy of your home and office.
However, it is highly unlikely that this would lead to financial problems.
Getting rid of clutter is a good thing. It releases stuck or blocked
energy and creates space for new energy and opportunities to come in.
Sometimes, though, when a lot of things change and shift at once, it
takes a while for the energy to settle, and that may be what is going
on.
Two things to keep in mind:
1) There is a wealth area in each room of your home/office, in addition
to the wealth area for the entire space or structure. Make sure that
in your cleaning up you haven't overlooked the wealth areas of your
living room, office, kitchen, or bedroom. And make sure that any closets
in those areas are also decluttered and well organized.
2) Financial success in business is affected by many factors. Feng shui
is just one of those, and within feng shui, you need to look at more
than just the wealth area. The "career," "fame/reputation" and "helpful
friends" areas are also essential to business success.
Feng shui is a process of analyzing your space, diagnosing strengths
and weaknesses, and choosing appropriate cures and enhancements. If
all you have done is add a money symbol or two to your wealth corner
there could be other things going on that are overlooked. You need to
examine the entire picture, not just the wealth area.
One click will fund the preservation of 11.4
square feet of endangered rainforest. You don't pay a penny.
Sponsors will pay for the services your click provides. Isn't that cool?
Originally, 6 million square miles of tropical
rainforest existed worldwide. As a result of deforestation, only 2.6
million square miles remain today. The race is on to save our rainforests
and the incredible biodiversity they hold. Last year, visitors to The
Rainforest Site preserved 344,872,210 square feet of land!
Funding generated by The
Rainforest Site goes to pay for rainforest acquisition and management,
ensuring the protection of Earth's biological diversity. The amount
of land protected depends on the number of visitors to The Rainforest
Site. So please click every
day, and spread the word to family and friends!
