Feng Shui Tips for Wealth and a Client Story

In feng shui, spring is associated with the Wood element which represents wealth and growth. The Wood element refers to a rising energy and is represented by growing plants (yin Wood) or trees (yang Wood). And because plants are nurtured by water these are complementing elements and both relate to wealth.

Four tips for how to raise energy in the southeast and unblock your wealth flow:

• Check the southeast part of your home for clutter or broken and unwanted things. If there are any, clear them! This is blocking your wealth.
• Check the southeast of your property for deteriorating structures, trees, piles of cut wood, etc.
• Plant a beautiful special tree in the southeast. This will raise the chi of your property.
• In traditional Chinese feng shui, this year the southeast is affected by the “Argumentative Star 3” which is countered by strong red colors. For example, use a red lamp, a red candle or flowers.

One client’s story is a perfect example.

I worked with Rochelle and Scott a few years ago on their property in Carlisle. Scott was a VP of a small technology company and Rochelle was in the process of starting a new career. She was studying art and was emerging as an artist. She had talent and wanted to make it big. Things were going pretty well for them to begin with, but there was a feeling of stagnation and they were curious if feng shui could help them create new opportunities for growth and success.

When I consult I analyze not just the inside of the house but the whole property and even nearby land features and structures. The results for Rochelle and Scott’s exterior were promising but with one exception. There was a on old, large, deteriorating pine tree located in the southeastern part of the property. The southeast represents prosperity and wealth in feng shui.

My clients were almost ready to have the tree cut down after they learned that having deterioration in the southeast stagnates their finances. But after carefully examining the tree, I convinced them otherwise. The tree had to be healed even if this was more effort than simply removing it.

It is very beneficial to have a strong tree in the southeast as this creates support for the prosperity. They followed my advice and did a major clean up of the old pine and the surrounding area.

When I came back there in the spring for a follow up I almost didn’t recognize the place! The tree was happy and the area felt vibrant.

Not long after my visit I got this email from Rochelle: “Scott was just given a nice bonus at work and I have just sold five of my paintings at my first art exhibit out west. They just called and asked me to keep my art up for another month!”

These clients didn’t stay in this house for long. Soon after my visit Scott received a big promotion and the family moved to the Bay area.

When I consult I always look what’s happening in the southeastern part of the property. Sometimes I find things like an old shack, a pile of dead wood or even a compost bin. Anything that is broken or deteriorating will stagnate your finances!
