#2 Utilize Dining Room Cures
The dining room is an important room for attracting abundance into your life. This often comes in the form of wealth. There are a few things you can do that will enhance the chi energy in this sector and bring greater wealth into your life.
- Hang a large mirror on one dining room wall so that it reflects the table. This will double the amount of food on your table during meals and acts as a stimulate to bring twice your current abundance. Make sure your mirror is big enough so it doesn't cut off the heads of those sitting at the table.
- Set a bowl of garlic as a dining table centerpiece to accumulate wealth. This can be any type of bowl. The garlic doesn't need to be real. You can select any imitation garlic. Gold-colored garlic is also a great choice.
- Select an area in your dining room to display the three star gods, Fuk, Luk and Sau. They represent health, wealth, and prosperity for the entire family.
#3 Prioritize the Southeast Direction for Wealth
The compass direction southeast is the sector for wealth. You can do a few things to ensure you are taking advantage of this energy to its fullest.
- Set a wealth ship filled with faux gold bars, coins, ingots and diamonds. Place your ship so that it is sailing into your home, never out. Avoid selecting a warship, instead go for a sailboat or a ship that doesn't carry weapons like cannons, these are considered poison arrows.
- Use the wood feng shui element for this sector to attract greater wealth into your life. Add wood furniture, wood decorative objects, and art objects.
- Place a few plants in this sector. Be sure the leaves aren't sharp or pointed (create poison arrows). Many people prefer at least one Chinese jade plant and other succulents. Only keep healthy plants, remove dead leaves or blooms and replace dying plants with healthy ones.
- Add a water fountain to this sector to feed the wood element. A tabletop water fountain can be placed in an office or living room. Avoid adding to a kitchen or bedroom. The water should always flow into the room and never toward a door.
- You may prefer to use an aquarium for the water feature. For the best results, use feng shui rules on the number and color of fish.
- Six Chinese coins tied with a red ribbon can be placed on a table or desk.
- Color is another way to represent both wood and water. The colors you may wish to use include blue, green, and brown.
#4 Enhance Your Career in the North Sector
While the north sector governs career, many people look to their earnings for their main wealth. You can enhance this sector with several feng shui principals and objects.
The element for the north is water. To stimulate this sector for career success and subsequently enhance your earning potential and wealth, you can add a water element. Keep the water feature, either a tabletop water fountain or aquarium in proportion to your room. Too much water will drown you career and earning possibilities. As with all thing feng shui, balance is key.
You can also add metal to this room since the metal element attracts water. Use metal objects, such as wall art or furniture. Avoid sharp and pointed metal objects since these create poison arrows.
#5 Place a Wealth Bowl in the Living Room
Another room in your home that is auspicious for attracting wealth is the living room or den. This room is typically full of activity for the family that create a great deal of yang energy. You can take advantage of the yang energy by adding an object to your living room that's known to attract wealth luck.
A wealth bowl is a well-known tool for attracting great wealth. You'll want to fill a bowl with money, coins, jewels, diamonds, and gold ingots. You can use faux gold, diamonds, and jewels. Use real coins when possible as well as a few paper bills in various denominators. Place your bowl on a coffee table for the best result although you can place it on a console table or bookcase shelf. The more open the space is, the more wealth luck it will generate.
#6 Display a Three Legged Toad
The three legged toad is a highly prized wealth symbol in feng shui. It sits on a pile of gold ingots and features a gold coin in its mouth. This feng shui symbol is often used in home offices, set in the southeast corner of the desk facing toward you when sitting at the desk.
Another excellent placement is on a table diagonally across from the front door. Be sure the toad is facing into your room or home and never toward the door or your wealth is rush right out of your home.
