Feng Shui ways to Abundance and Gratitude

There are many ways of attracting Abundance in traditional Feng Shui folklore and superstition, but all you have to do are two very basic energy observations and see the results effortlessly occur.

The Wealth Bowl / Vase
This concept is useful to identify the gratitude you have for the wealths in your life, and to bring your resonance to an ‘abundant’ level.

Make a space in your South East area of your home and prepare a beautiful bowl or vase to fill with your messages of gratitude and wishes for abundance.

On small note paper, write down the things you are most grateful for NOW. They do not have to be elaborate explanations, just things like, ‘I am grateful for my house’, ‘……. my health’, ‘…….my daughter/son’, ‘………… my partner/friend’, ‘……….my ‘…..’ etc.

You can even write down that you are grateful for the recent rain, or the day out you had recently, or the upcoming plans you may have made. Anything that links you to a feeling of gratitude.

Each day or week, write down a wish for some kind of wealth. You may start off with a wish for more Time, the next may be for more Money, better Health, and so on.

Once a week write down again your gratitude list, and pop it into the bowl. You can lift the energy of the bowl with pretty flowers, statues of divine beings and a beautiful silk table runner. Burning Lemon and Orange oil is also symbolic of abundance and will make you feel ‘UP’ too!

This kind of exercise promotes Focus, which can in turn encourage an Intention to improve those areas of your existence that are the subject of your wishes.

Space Clearing
Maintaining the energetic signature of our spaces, big or small, is an ongoing process, and should be like regular ‘housekeeping’. Inviting in fresh new Chi (‘Chi’ is the vital force of the universe) to stimulate a space will also have the effect of ‘flushing out’ or removing unwanted or stagnating energy.

Pick a set of days to de-clutter and re-organise the most unruly places in your building. Removing a percentage of ‘clutter’ and unused material from your space equals inviting in the approximate amount of fresh new experience into your Life!

If it has not been used in two years, then it is obsolete. If it has been ‘in need of repair’ for a long time, it probably needs to be replaced. Remove items that are unloved, unused, unwanted, broken, not appropriate and either sell them, give them away or send them to the tip.

Clean the physical space. Wash windows and walls and floors. Inside cupboards generally need a wipe over. Have soiled carpets cleaned and have curtains laundered as these two hold a LOT of stagnant energy. Use environmentally and humanly safe products for cleaning. Bi Carbonate of Soda with White Vinegar has a thousand and one uses, even in the washing machine and dishwasher, so use a friendly alternative and remove the possibility of ill-health from harsh chemicals.

Perform a kind of ceremony that means something to YOU. This may be as simple as opening up the doors and windows one morning for a few hours, playing soothing music and lighting scented candles, aromatherapy burners or incense. Or you may choose something more elaborate like a full Feng Shui Space Clearing. The choice is yours,… it is your space after all.

After completing the work, and the ceremony, you can bless your space with thanks for its protection and function. This is a link to the Gratitude you feel towards this space, whether it is your home or your workplace, it provides a valuable function, so give thanks to it for being able to do this for you.

As you have removed so much unwanted energy in the form of dirt and possessions, you will find that new energy effortlessly arrives for you in many different ways. Abundance comes in many forms, so be on the look out for those pleasant feelings of a job well done, and the rewards that go with it!
