Purple For Prosperity
Feng Shui activity for today – add a color!
Purple is the best for the Prosperity corner. Put a big chunk of purple amethyst there. Dig out that purple lava lamp and watch money start to ooze up and bubble over into your life. If this area of your home happens to be in your child’s room, make sure Barney the purple dinosaur is in the Prosperity corner.
- Red is a powerful color that can add excitement and energy to almost anything. Keep a red power tie here. Anything red that you like will work.
- Green is good for your prosperity corner too. Use green to get out of the red.
- Gold stuff enhances the wealth area. Give your corner the Midas touch.
Use these colors by dying the curtains, changing the bedding, painting the walls, lining the drawers! Use purple dust rags to clean the house to remind yourself that you are keeping things clean for abundance. If your closet is in this corner, fill your closet with purple clothes. If your office is here, use purple files in your drawers.
Feng shui adjustments work even when no one else can see them. You can put purple construction paper behind a photo in a picture frame – no one will see it, but you will know it’s there and that it’s working for you. Tape purple paper underneath your desk or under furniture. Use purple paint on the concrete floor before carpeting is laid. These cures will work even though they are hidden away.
Here is a cool purple feather duster from Fly Lady.

Interestingly, I already have a powerful red “icon” in my prosperity area – and something green as well. I also have a piggy bank there, and my gypsy magic stuff for prosperity.
Another interesting thing I noticed when making the bagua for my house, was that the cluttery areas in my “prosperity” section seem to fall into the “relationship” corner of it.. if that makes any sense at all – well no it doesn’t..
In other words, if I take the prosperity area and look at it as a separate space, and apply the bagua to it – the clutter falls in the exact same place that the worst of my clutter in whole house is in.. which is the relationships and creativity areas.
I have a fair amount of clutter in the career area – that comes and goes… and in my “prosperity” section, there is a small amount of clutter that accumulates there too..
So, I take this to mean that I have relationship issues with money.. and that I am unsettled in my career.. and have a lot of “stuff” hanging over my creativity.
Am I making sense? Or am I incoherent?

Shirley, I understand what you’re saying. That’s interesting that the Relationships corner in your Prosperity section is cluttered. Hmmm…it makes you think! In my Prosperity area, we have all of our tools and just a bunch of junk that we don’t have anyplace else to put it – I’m going to have to take a look at that and figure out what to do with it all, because I don’t want it clogging up my flow of prosperous chi!
The FlyLady (www.flylady.net) says you cannot organize clutter, so don’t even waste your time and money on those “organization systems.” You cannot tame it. You have to get rid of it. Again, clutter is anything that you do not use or you do not love. She makes a good point – why have china that we store away only to bring out on “special” occasions? I don’t ever throw dinner parties, so I would never have a special enough occasion to use my nice stuff. So if I’m not using it, why pay for the space to store it? If you figure out the square footage of your home and how much you pay each month per square foot, you can see the actual monthly cost of having so much crap in your house. And if you don’t love it and you don’t use it? What’s the point??
I do let things pile up, and I need to do some decluttering this month, but at least I know that I am already using the things I love, not saving them for “a special occasion.”
And one cool tidbit – she calls herself the FlyLady because we are all her FlyBabies. FLY means Finally Loving Yourself.
