Feng Shui for Wealth and Prosperity

Feng Shui is the ancient Chinese practice of improving the flow of energy or ch'i, around you to enhance your life. Part of feng shui's goal is to create a habitat that is enticing rather than irritating. Traditional feng shui guidelines take into account compass directions, colors, natural elements such as wood, minerals, fire, water and earth and aspirations such as wealth and prosperity. According to feng shui different parts of your home and office represent different areas of your life such as career, wealth, reputation, health and love.

Traditional feng shui experts say the southeast corner of your home is your wealth area. Other feng shui experts say the far left corner of your home and far left corner of every room are your wealth areas. Terah Kathryn Collins, the author of "The Western Guide to Feng Shui for Prosperity" says the wealth area is in the top left corner. She says to identify this area you should draw an imaginary box around the structure of your home then divide that equally into nine squares, like a tic-tac-toe board. Use the main entrance as your starting point. The farthest left corner from that is your wealth area. So who is correct? I don't know all the texts seem to be split down the middle. Half say the left corner, half say the southeast corner. I know I need all the help I can get in the prosperity and wealth areas so I'll be working on both areas.

The wealth area of your home may be in an area you wouldn't think of doing anything special to like a closet, storage room or garage, but with feng shui no area is overlooked. If your wealth and prosperity section does fall into one of those strange areas you should still do all you can to enhance it according to feng shui guidelines.
