Remove Hazards to Family Area
Family area:
- Metal is hazardous in this area. White is the metal color and also does not belong here.
- If you have a gun in the house, do not place it in this area or it will become deadly metal.
- Get rid of round objects in this area.

Remove hazards to Skills and Knowledge
Skills and Knowledge area:
- Get rid of clutter here.
- Thinking clearly requires a clear space.
- Alcohol, drugs, poisons, and cigarettes all cloud the thought process and are detrimental to this area.
- Newspapers (full of stupid people doing stupid things) don’t belong here.
So this is not a good wallpaper choice?

Remove Hazards to your Career
Removing hazardous elements from your Career area:
Get rid of any dirt in this area. When you mix dirt and water, you get mud! Pictures of mountains and clay pots can even muddy up the water. No squares either, since squares represent earth (which is made of dirt…) The same goes for earth-tone-colored items.
Remove pictures from this area of anything you would never want to do in your life.

Remove Hazards from Helpful People and Travel Area
Feng Shui activity for today:
Remove hazardous elements from the Helpful People and Travel area:
You don’t want your helpful friends to have to navigate a road like this one!
Take a moment to stop and see where all your help is coming from. Trace the road money travels to get to you.
Helpful people do not want to hang around a bunch of junk. A mess in this area of the house gives helpful people obstacles to negotiate, so get rid of the junk!
Drains may undermine the support you need to prosper. Tie a red ribbon or red tape around the outgoing pipe to stop your chi from flowing away, and place mirrors in the area to keep the chi up.
Dust and dirt, broken items, trash cans, toilets, reminders of bad times don’t belong here.

5 extra minutes
Still working in the General Health area of our homes:
This area is the epitome of balance of the yin and yang energies. If your physical body is in balance, you can “give it your all” and achieve everything you set out to do. This area reaches out and touches all the other eight guas of the home.
Declutter activity for today:
Take a minute to look around the areas of your house. Which area still needs a little extra work? Set your timer for five minutes and get to work decluttering and balancing that area. You know what needs to be done!
After five minutes, stop! That’s it for today!
Note from twofeathers:
I wanted an image to illustrate this post, so I put the words “5 extra minutes” into a yahoo search for images and came up with this! The web page title is: Villa with pool at 5 star Altea holiday resort.
And I thought.. wow. This is the kind of thing we are working towards as we work the Prosperity Project. This is the carrot at the end of the stick. So I decided to post it with the suggestion that as we clean, we remember WHY we are cleaning.

Symbols and Anchors for your Center
Feng Shui activity for today:
Add a symbol to the Health area.
Earth is the element for the center. Add a healthy plant to this area. Include things made of earth here – china, ceramics, clay tiles or pots, bricks, natural stone flooring.
A bowl of fresh fruit symbolizes good luck, prosperity, hospitality and health.
Laughter is the best medicine. Place anything you find funny here – blooper videos, pictures of yourself and friends in fun moments, gag gifts. If it brings a smile to your face, it belongs here, so you can place a child’s hand-drawn picture or an old love letter here.
The shape for this area is square, and horizontal or flat items also belong here. Triangular or pyramid-shaped objects work here.
Symbols of earth, such as a globe, pictures of mountains, crystals belong here. They ground you and put you in touch with Mother Earth.
Fire works here, so if your fireplace is in this area, that’s great. Candles will also work. Stars and sun symbols should be here – sunflowers, sundials, pictures of sunrise or sunset, starfish, the Star of David, the Stars and Stripes.
Any religious object you connect with works here.

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.

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.

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.
