Feng Shui experts and practitioners believe that following the principles of this ancient Chinese art can result in a wonderful increase in wealth and prosperity. By the same token, the failure to abide by the guidelines of feng shui could cost us our wealth and prosperity. With that in mind, let’s focus on three quick tips for preventing financial loss and shoring up our finances. The drains in our home not only drain our water, they unfortunately drain the chi out of our environment too – which can take our money with it. To prevent this, hang a live plant above your sink. If a live plant is impossible, try an artificial house plant (not nearly as effective as a live plant, but at least it will help). The next tip is to use the color green in your living room for enhancing prosperity. Green is the color of money in most countries and also represents the Earth. You can paint your walls green, lay down a green rug, use green wall decor or even buy green furniture. Don’t worry though, you don’t have to do overdo it, just as long as there is some green in your living room. The third and last tip is to use paintings or frames with gold-colored paint. In feng shui, gold represents wealth and luxury, so hang paintings with gold color, gold leaf or gold color frames in your living room or office. Square frames stabilize your finances while rectangular frames promote growth. Try one or all of these tips and see if they work for you. In the state of our economy, one of these tips may just prove to be a life saver.
