Salome Waterhouse, a Feng Shui
practitioner and the protagonist in The
Feng Shui Mysteries, helps solve crimes
and household misdemeanors (like not
lowering the toilet’s seat and lid). Here’s
what she has to say about Prosperity.
Before activating this gua, be specific
about what you want. For example, if you
want money, state a specific sum and the
reason you want this amount. Feng Shui
is not simply about hanging a crystal and
waiting for the riches to pour in. You are
activating your intentions. You must be a
participant in order to attract the energies
of prosperity to you. Once you have a
specific goal in mind, then bring elements
that appeal to you such as multi-faceted
crystals, a money vase, the color purple
(also vibrant red and green). These
things stimulate your intentions each time
you see them. Construct a vision board
with pictures of what you desire. Recall
those times when you received exactly
what you wanted and embrace that
feeling. Prosperity is a perception with an
emotional foundation. Use the positive
emotion to attract a positive outcome.
Another potent aspect of prosperity is
giving. In the Charles Dickens’s classic,
A Christmas Carol, Mr. Scrooge, the
protagonist, is considered prosperous.
Dickens’s story tell us Mr. Scrooge had
wealth but he didn’t have or understand
true prosperity until he began to give. The
old adage certainly applies here: What
goes around comes around. When you
give, and give with passion, you stir up
positive energy. Giving makes you feel
good, and when you feel good you attract
what you want.
When prosperity is merely seen and
not felt, when acquisition of wealth
and material objects becomes a
preoccupation, when giving is ignored,
then prosperity is an illusion and all that
was gained can be lost in an instant.
In some countries, prosperity resides
in simply having a supply of fresh
water. (Go to www.water.org for more
information.)
FENG SHUI TIPS
If you give over this area of your dwelling
to pets, chances are good that much
money will be spent on them (i.e., vet
bills, expensive toys, etc.).
