Feng Shui
General and healing area – an overview
Moving into the General Health area of our homes
Bringing balance to the center of our homes will bring:
- More optimal health
- A sense of balance in life
- Betterment in all life situations
While this may sound really short, and not very important, consider this: If you are not feeling healthy and well, you will not be able to enjoy your prosperity. If you do not have a sense of balance in life, you will find yourself constantly struggling to keep up with this and let go of that. If you seek betterment in all of your life situations, the prosperity and well being you achieve will be well grounded, well founded, and of a much more permanent nature.

Finding Your Center
Declutter activity for today:
Stand in the center of your home for a moment and close your eyes. Feel what this area is telling you. What needs to happen here to bring balance and improvement in your life? Let this area tell you what needs to be done. Does it need de-cluttering? A general tidying up? Do things need to be put away, or brought out from hiding? Once you have a sense of what this area is asking for, set your timer for 5 minutes and do it. That’s it, we’re done de-cluttering for today.
This beautiful mandala is by Paul Heussenstamm, I thought it would help us get centered for today’s de-cluttering exercise.
Harmonize and Healing with Color
Feng Shui activity for today:
Add a color to the Health area.
Yellow, gold, and other earth tones will enhance this area. Yellow bananas in a fruit bowl, the green plant with brown potting soil, yellow flowers will work here.
Red will energize this area. Red candles, placemats, table runners, a red-tassled lampshade, a red throw on the couch, a big bowl of red Christmas ornaments will bring energy to this area.

Colorize your family area
Feng Shui activity for today:
Add a color to your Family area.
Wood is the element for this area, and green symbolizes wood. Green t-shirts, a wooden bowl filled with avocados or artichokes will work. Green plants can be nurtured here.
Water feeds wood, and black symbolizes water, so anything black will help things start to flow with family, children, and basic money needs.

Family Photo Project
Still working in the Family area of our homes:
The energy in this zone of the house influences how safe and secure you feel in life and how you relate to family members (blood relatives or not). The energy here is your foundation in life and deserves special attention.
- Declutter activity for today:
Today, lets take some time to organize our family photos. If you have lots of loose photos in a lot of different places, gather them all together into a “photo box”. Do you have photo albums waiting to be filled? Take the time to organize your photos to make it easy to begin to put them into the photo albums. Don’t have any photo albums? Why not go and buy some, and fill them up this weekend as a fun “family” project? Maybe you have all your photos in photo albums already. If so, that’s great! Maybe this evening would be a great time to dust them off and spend a few moments enjoying them.
Stabilize your Family area with symbols
Feng Shui activity for today:
Add a symbol to stabilize the family area.
Wood is the element for this area, so wooden picture frames with pictures of your loved ones are great here. Any wooden item will do, even toothpicks and chopsticks. A bowl of pine cones or acorns is symbolic here, along with anything made of paper, wicker, rattan, or bamboo.
Rectangular or columnar objects belong here. Water also works here – pictures of beautiful Venice canals, a water bed, and undulating forms (water takes any shape) are fine here.

Book Drop
Still working in the Skills and Knowledge area of our homes:
This area may not seem glamorous, and you may think that you should focus your attention on the Prosperity area of your home, but this area deserves equal attention. When prosperity starts to show up in your life, if you don’t have the wisdom, skills and ability to handle the increased resources, the money will flow right through your hands. Enhancing this Wisdom (Skills and Knowledge) area will allow you to more easily accumulate the things you want out of life.
Declutter activity for today:
Books and magazines. We buy them, we read them, but do we really need to keep all of them? Today is a good day to go through that stack of magazines, and browse your bookcases. Pull out any books and/or magazines that you do not love, do not use, and that you will probably never read again.
Box them all up and add them to our upcoming Prosperity Project garage sale, or take them down to your local thrift store. Now enjoy the feeling of freedom that comes from freeing up space in your life.

Add substance to Skills and Knowledge
Feng Shui activity for today:
Add a symbol to the Skills and Knowledge area.
Books are the perfect enhancement for this area. Use bookends that symbolize a skill you would like to master.
Light will energize this area. Lamps with light bulbs, lanterns, candles work here, hence the sayings “Shed some light on the subject” and “Gain enlightenment.”
If you kitchen is in this area, create the intention that all your food becomes “food for thought.”
Symbols that remind you of wisdom belong here – a lamp of knowledge, the scales of justice, a judge’s gavel, a chess game, a straight-A report card, intelligent dolphins will work.
Symbols of mentors or wise people – a statue of Solomon from the Bible, the three Wise Men, Merlin the magician, Yoda, Einstein, or Gandhi can be depicted here.
Metal works here – as in “Sharp as a tack” and “Razor-sharp mind.”
Water invites wisdom your way. Place wood here with the intention that it attract wisdom. Place your meditation items here, or an altar of thanksgiving. This is the area for your hobbies and crafts.
