Use Feng Shui To Help Save Money

Using Feng Shui To Help You Save Money

By Kartar Diamond

Feng Shui principles work on many levels and people generally want this information because they have heard that Feng Shui applications to any environment can help improve a person’s health, well-being, relationships, and saving money.

Sometimes the advice is specific to a person, such as a person born in the year of the Ox, should not sleep with their head to the Sheep Direction (S/SW) because that can be draining and make it harder to save money. In comparison, a general principle that applies to everyone would be to avoid having a front door aligned directly with a back door. This one is so universal that many home builders in the 1990’s started changing their floor plan designs to not have a straight path from front door to back door. Why? Because this is a classic “chi flow” problem. It can make it harder to save money, as a trickle-down effect of the chi (air currents) not being able to circulate and stay longer inside before they exist.

Another interior design flaw that makes it harder to save money is when the base of a staircase is aligned directly with a frequently used door. What does one do to save money if they have either scenario? If your front door is aligned directly with a back door or if your front door is aligned directly with a set of stairs, you can buffer that chi flow problem with a variety of furnishings and décor items. Furniture, screens, lighting fixtures, live plants or water features can help slow down the direct path of chi. A rule of thumb is that if you have to walk around an object to continue your path, then the chi needs to move around the object as well.

Along the same theory in regards to energy flow and re-directing it, some people live in a house where the street first comes toward their house and then veers away from it. This carries the chi (air currents) away from the house before having a chance to supply the house (a living organism) with vital energy. Through various landscaping techniques, it is possible to re-direct the energy toward a house instead of letting is slip away. This may all seem like very subtle, far-fetched even to the Western mind. But the practice of Feng Shui formally dates back several thousand years with a long track record of accuracy in how to interpret the mundane impact of these esoteric concepts.
