Searching for Greater Wealth? Invite the Feng Shui Elements of Water, Metal and Wood into your Home or Business...

Whether you are wealthy or financially challenged, money plays an important role in all of our lives. On a basic level, we require money for food, shelter and most of our everyday needs. Greater degrees of wealth allow us the opportunity to enjoy more personal freedom and a wider choice of creature comforts. It is no coincidence that for centuries Feng Shui practitioners have been using various Feng Shui techniques, or cures, to attract and maintain various amounts of wealth. These time tested Feng Shui cures often combine the Feng Shui elements of Water, Metal and Wood.

Water

The Feng Shui element of water is one of the more popular Feng Shui cures used to attract money and wealth. Many practitioners will use a water fountain as a feature to contain and circulate water within a home or apartment. Feng Shui water fountains are frequently placed inside homes, on front lawns or outside office buildings in an attempt to "invite" wealth into a well defined location. However, a simple water fountain will only activate a limited amount of Qi (energy or life force) into the immediate environment. In order to amplify the attraction of Feng Shui wealth, we really need to turbo-charge the situation by combining water with other elements found in the Feng Shui spectrum.

Water and Metal

The Feng Shui element of Metal, more specifically copper, is a wonderful compliment to water, especially when trying to attract greater amounts of Feng Shui wealth and money into your life. Copper raises the level of Feng Shui Qi to a much greater degree than any other element because of its reflective nature. Qi is attracted to shinny objects and the copper will seductively call the energy in to "play" with the water. If possible, try to find a copper based water fountain to use in your home or office. If you are unable to find a copper fountain, or don’t like the way they look, place a shiny piece of copper in or next to the water fountain in order to attract the needed Qi.

At times, it is challenging to use copper around water because the humidity and moisture will cause the copper to oxidize and the patina that ensues will diminish the metal’s ability to attract the Feng Shui Qi towards the water circulating in fountain. It is best to regularly polish the copper parts of the fountain and keep it shinny. The reflective ability of the copper will increase the potency of the Feng Shui water element and greatly enhance the Feng Shui wealth corner of your home or property. The basic rule is… More shine, More Qi!

Also, it is very important to keep the fountain’s water fresh and clean. Muddy water does not have a high degree of clarity or "shine". If dirty, the ability for the water element to attract a sufficient amount of Qi to the intended space will be greatly diminished and so will be your chances of attracting more wealth. Try to clean the fountain whenever necessary in order to maintain the highest degree of Qi flowing throughout the home or property.

Water, Metal and Wood

The element of wood also works well with water and it is a nice compliment to the water and copper combination. If the scenario permits, try hanging a Feng Shui mobile wood chime above your fountain. The three elements will work in harmony to generate even greater amounts of Qi. Combining the three elements will not only create a very relaxing living environment, but it will activate a potent Feng Shui principle designed to attract greater Feng Shui money into your home.

If you have set everything up properly, you should notice some prominent changes in your financial results within a short period of time. As always, with the art of Feng Shui, when it is executed properly, the positive effects of this ancient Chinese art form are quite amazing!

Namaste,
