Using Feng Shui to enhance success and prosperity

Feng Shui (pronounced Foong Shway not Feng Shoe-ee) is an

ancient Chinese practice and literally translated means wind water.
Simplistically, this implies flow, which refers to the manner in
which the energies of different items or living things relates to one
another.
Feng Shui is the practical technique for manipulating chi' (life energy) to
improve prosperity, marriage prospects, career luck, family cohesion, the luck
of ones children, respect in the community, examination success and health.
There are a number of people (Feng Shui Masters) who have made a career
out of advising business people and other interested parties on how to use
Feng Shui to maximise all aspects of their lives.
It is possible, with some guidance from reputable books, for the layperson to
make some headway in reducing the clutter in their lives; optimising the
space they live or work in; and increasing positive aspects, by applying some
basis Feng Shui principles.
To demonstrate the benefits Feng Shui can have, one need look no further
then some examples of large corporate organisations/facilities including:

BA Headquarters in London

Selected outlets of the Body Shop

Hyatt Hotel, Singapore

Cathay Pacific Airlines, Hong Kong

Crdit Lyonnaise ( the French bank that uses Feng Shui to predict
movements of Hong Hongs Hang Seng stock market index)

The original Budweiser brewery in Budvar, Czech Republic.

The confines of this article are too narrow to give a comprehensive overview
of how to determine things like your KUA number and therefore your
auspicious (lucky) and inauspicious (unlucky) directions. However, we will
briefly discuss the basics of Feng Shui and how you can apply it to amplify
your luck and success.
In a nutshell, in order to be beneficial, chi needs to flow gently on a
meandering course (straight line flow of energy is not desirable), then
accumulate to produce abundance.
The entrance of your home should have a clear space in front of it and inside
be free of clutter. Im not advocating that you remodel your home or even
move to another home to create perfect Feng Shui; Im simply saying you
need to work sensibly with what you have and make change where feasible.

GOING GREEN
Certain plants seem to be beneficial for attracting luck and success. These
include the narcissus (shui hsien water immortal, which is symbolic of
luck), bamboo plants and the Jade or Money Plant.
Its important to remember that Feng Shui encourages one to keep plants
with soft, fleshy, rounded leaves in the home. Blade-like or thorny plants
should be avoided in the home as they represent poison arrows. Rather
plant this type of plant in the garden.
In the garden the best design is a natural-looking one with curved pathways
and informal planting to encourage chi to flow slowly and accumulate.
Straight pathways moving from one side of the garden to another are
considered bad Feng Shui. Japanese lanterns are considered desirable.

Amongst the remedies and formulas for dispelling negative Feng Shui
elements, the home aspiration for attracting wealth and prosperity is:

Home location South East

Natural element wood

Colour of element green

Producing element water.

You can therefore attract abundance by introducing wood elements into the
home. This could include plants and wooden wind chimes.
SYMBOLS OF PROSPERITY
Most people have heard of or seen the three-legged money toad. This
symbolic animal is believed to bring the owner wealth and prosperity and
should be faced inwards in the home to keep the wealth inside.
Likewise, the guardian lion (erroneously referred to as Fu dog) is reputed to
provide protection for the home.
Less commonly seen is the Kirin, a one-, two- or three-horned mythical beast
with the body of a deer, tail of an ox and cloven feet. It also defends the
home against evil when placed at entrance doors.

OTHER WEALTH MAGNETS

Three Feng Shui coins (rounded with a square hole in the centre), strung
together with a red ribbon or red string and hung on the inside of the
entrance door are claimed to activate the essence of good fortune.

WHAT ABOUT MY PC?

Because the PC is predominantly made from metal, it should preferably be
placed on the west or northwest sector of your home on a separate table.
Place it on the right-hand side of the table and try to have an item (such as a
desk lamp) which is taller than the PC on the left-hand side of the table.

CONCLUSION
In the book The K.I.S.S Guide to Feng Shui (DK Publishing, 2001), author
Stephen Skinner says: If everything is going all right and life is a breeze,
then my suggestion to you is: dont change your Feng Shui. If it isnt then
try reading the aforementioned book, Lillian Toos Easy-to-use Feng Shui
(Collins & Brown, 1999) or a similar good reference book on Feng Shui.
