How to Find the Feng Shui Money Corner of Your Home
One of the most popular feng shui design themes is wealth. There is even a corner in your home that corresponds to your wealth and abundance. You can learn how to find and activate the money corner (or wealth corner) in your home using a feng shui tool called bagua. A bagua is an energy map of your home, laid out spatially and divided into a three-by-three grid with eight sectors around the center. Read on to learn how to find and cultivate your wealth corner with feng shui, from adding supportive money trees to specific flowers and more.
Using the Bagua
Your home is a reflection of your life. Bagua is used in Feng Shui as a tool to help you understand the relationship between your home and your life. Each area of the bagua corresponds to a specific aspect of life, such as relationships, career, knowledge, and even your financial well-being. This special area is called “Xun” in Chinese and is also known as the corner of wealth or money. This position is associated with your financial wealth and abundance, as well as prosperity in all aspects. It also reflects self-esteem, which is deeply tied to material wealth: our ability to obtain wealth and abundance is determined in part by how we value ourselves.
How to Find Your Money Corner
To find the wealth zone of your entire home, stand at the front door of your home, facing inward, and find the far left corner.
Once you’ve identified a rich area, pay attention to what’s going on there. Is it empty? Chaotic? Neatly arranged? Think about what this might mean metaphorically. Perhaps this area of your home is collecting dust or full of dead plants and hasn’t been touched in months – this could mean you don’t want to regularly check your finances or don’t want to change your lifestyle. Are you evaluating yourself? ? It’s best to correct these common feng shui decorating mistakes before you start improving your wealth corner.
Tips to Enhance Your Money Corner
If you want to work on attracting more abundance, self-worth, or prosperity, you can activate the wealth zone in your home using some of our favorite ways to do so.
Fix Anything That’s Broken
It may not sound like feng shui to you, but it is important to make mundane improvements along with more subtle and energetic adjustments. Items that are chipped, broken, or don’t work properly may not make you feel abundant, so it’s best to fix them or throw them away.
Decorate With Purple
Color is important in feng shui and purple is the color associated with the area of wealth, so placing something purple here can activate wealth and abundance. This could be a piece of art, a throw pillow, a potted plant, or any other item that catches your eye.
Bring in Plants
The wealth zone is also associated with the element of wood, represented by plants. Add a healthy tree to this area to promote sustainable financial growth or boost self-esteem. A particularly useful plant for this purpose is Pilea peperomioides, also known as the money plant, coin plant or jade plant.
Decorate With Green or Blue
Green and blue are colors associated with the Wood element, so adding these colors to the wealth area can promote growth and healing in this area of life. You may want to paint an entire wall green or blue, or opt for a smaller, more subtle accent, depending on your decor and preferences.
Activate With a Water Feature
In the five element system, water nourishes wood, so adding the water element to the wealth area can help. A small fountain can be a great addition to this area, just make sure it is clean. Dirty, stagnant water will not improve the Feng Shui of your home. If real water isn’t an option for your space, you can also add artwork featuring clear, flowing water.
Add Amethyst
Crystals can add a sense of beauty and luxury to a space and are fairly easy to find. Amethyst is a great addition to the wealth realm due to its purple color and creating a feeling of abundance. It can also induce a feeling of spiritual abundance that goes hand in hand with material wealth.
Other Ways to Improve Wealth Through Feng Shui
If you want to improve your wealth, it is important to understand that working with the feng shui of your wealth corner is just one aspect that can be beneficial. A qualified professional can help identify other root causes of your property problems so you can resolve the problems to best effect.
For example, if you’re not making as much money as you’d like, it could be because you’ve chosen the wrong career or you need more helpful people in your life who can help you achieve your goals. In such cases, it would be more beneficial to try to improve your career choices or invite more helpful people into your life. You can also work with bagua to determine which parts of your home correspond to those parts of your life.
