Put your back into it. Keep your nose to the grindstone. These pithy sayings are meant to instill the value of consistent work effort. And, for the most part they're true, because consistent work pays off, but sometimes when you're busy looking down all the time, you lose sight of where you're going. Feng shui offers us an opportunity to lift our eyes and create movement in our lives instead of drudgery, or worse, the awful position of feeling stuck in a "Groundhog Day" kind of life. Too often we fall into the rut of day by day living to the point that we can't imagine anything different or anything better and our vision gets cut off. I'm frequently surprised at the shocked expressions I get when I ask people what they want and ask where they see their lives going or where they want their lives to go. They're stunned because they can't imagine anything different or anything more than that grindstone where their noses are pointed at every da...

The southeast is the corner most often associated with wealth in feng shui. This is the primary wealth sector in any home. But did you know there are other wealth corners that you could be overlooking that are also critical to your prosperity? When each is activated and enhanced, you have compounding feng shui that benefits everyone in the family in a variety of ways. For instance, did you know there are different kinds of abundance and wealth? There is generating money, like you get from your job such as a salary, there is accumulated wealth, the kind you have in the bank or investments, and there is depleting wealth which is the kind of money associated with bills and demands. Only applying effort and enhancements to the southeast wealth corner is short-sighted. Thorough feng shui takes into account energizing all of the corners for the various ways you can earn money – through associates and benefactors, to your career and business opportunities, from good relationships wi...

In feng shui, metal is the element you don't often hear much discussion about. Most often metal is regarded as a cure for negative energies, especially earth afflictions such as the 5 Yellow and Black 2 that cause both illness and financial difficulties. But metal is a wonderful element that when activated properly can bring patronage luck - the "who you know" kind of energy that separates truly successful people from those with just average success - heaven energy and power, and the all-important water of wealth. Let's take a look at the element of metal.... We know from basic grade-school science that metal is a conductor. It conducts energy like electricity and is used to promote the generation of water in feng shui, which in feng shui is shorthand word for wealth and prosperity. Its shape in feng shui is either the arch or circle - both have lots of movement. Just think of a coin's round shape and how they are spent and move through circulation, or...

There's a saying that success is just the accumulation of good habits. It's true. The more you do to help yourself and to be successful, the more successful - and prosperous - you'll become. Success and the wealth and acclaim that comes with it isn't as much a secret as much as it is a habit. Having a happy home life, successful career, ability to go and buy what you like when you want it, this brings happiness is true wealth. There are many people who have money, but lack wealth. One time my husband and I were shopping for a new home. The houses were beautiful, but there is little furniture, or what's there was of poor quality. It's as though the owner's money went into the homes, but there was no money to furnish the beautiful home with beautiful belongings. Is that a wealthy homeowner? No. That's the paradox of wealth. Having money (or a big house or a nice car) doesn't mean you are wealthy any more than breathing makes you healthy...

The promise of feng shui is greater wealth, health and happiness. But blessings of abundance rely on the presence of certain circumstances and elements. The key element for wealth is water. Take a trip to visit beautiful homes and you'll find fountains, pools and water gardens. Wherever there is water, there is wealth. From the most ancient times, an abundance of water has been equal with an abundance of wealth. Water enabled farmers to grow and nourish their fields and reap great crops - and profits. One of the best contemporary examples of water creating wealth is the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas. The hotel has taken its dancing fountains and put them to work creating wonderful returns for the hotel in the number of guests staying, gambling and eating there. The hotel is best known for its dancing fountains in front of the hotel. The water shoots up with a booming sound and does a choreographed dance to Frank Sinatra and other singers. It's an amazing spectacle, bu...

When your home has a poor arrangement or certain architectural characteristics, you could find that your financial situation is a constant struggle. Particular homes lend themselves to wonderful abundance and material prosperity and yet others offer only financial trial and tribulation for their owners. Some houses are more likely to help the occupants acquire the wealth they desire and those are the homes that have few, if any, feng shui challenges. Of course, every house has challenges, but some are more significant than others. When you look at homes that have more serious obstacles to wealth accumulation , they fall along a number of lines. If your house isn't one of the homes listed below, then count yourself lucky! If you do have a house that has one of the following challenges then you'll be relieved to know there is a reason that money has been such a problem for you. Houses that prevent prosperity are many, but some are more common than others. Below are sev...
