Given the state of the economy and the anxiety swirling around it (and for good reason) I thought it might be kind of interesting to take a look at the Feng Shui solution to solving money problems. Briefly, Feng Shui is considered by the Chinese to be both an art and a science which emphasizes awareness and consciousness of ourselves in relation to our environment. Here then is the Feng Shui method to attract money.-Create a water fountain as in Chinese culture water equates money. For more strength, add a crystal to the fountain.
-Keep an aquarium with 9 fish. Water equals money and the number 9 is an exulted one in China enjoying special status.
-Grow bamboo or keep either 3 or 9 shoots in a vase (bamboo is very prolific)
-Create a wealth box with 9 coins. Preferably red as red is considered a good luck color.
-It is said that fresh flowers bring good luck and fortune.
-Create a Prosperity Altar which should contain a crystal or fresh flowers, incense, candles, water which should be changed every day.
-Place 9 coins in a red envelope and plant it under an evergreen tree.
-Keep metal windchimes to simulate the sound of money.
But at the end of the day, keep in mind what really counts:
"You came here to ask for wealth.
However, you do nothing.
It is difficult for me to grant your wish.
Do one good deed a day and we will come toward you"
written by the entrance to a temple in Taipei
For those of you interested in learning more about all aspects of Feng Shui, I recommend the readings of Professor Lin Yun and R.D. Chin which has been adapted here.
