5 Small Steps To Build Great Wealth

 It is believed that our lives are controlled by 5 factors - Destiny, Luck, Feng Shui, Virtue and Effort. Destiny is based on our karma (the law of cause and effect) and this stands about 40% of our lives. Destiny cannot be changed.

...... Feng Shui and luck are grouped in the same category. So basically if you work hard (effort), treat others with respect and kindness (virtue) and have good luck and balanced Feng Shui, your life will be much better. It is only your destiny or fate that remains the same.

Patience is a virtue

...... So you want to be rich. Who doesn't? Let's face it - most people want to make use of Feng Shui to gain more material possessions. A lot of people seem to believe that implementing Feng Shui in their lives will make them overnight millionaires. In fact, nothing can be further from the truth.

...... Like everything else, Feng Shui needs time to work. Some people will reap the benefits of Feng Shui in a couple of days or weeks. For some, it might take months or even years. It all depends on your fate, which is destined by your karma.

...... If you are impatient and seek quick cures, it will work but the effect might not be so lasting. It is like a packet of 2-minute instant noodles - filling for the moment but not good for your health in the long run. Before you spend your hard earned cash on some mystical mumbo jumbo, take some time to try and understand Feng Shui.

Taking the first step

...... It is important to know your Kua number. (If you don't, it is high time to appreciate the wonders of the Internet). Try to sleep according to your 'sheng chi' direction. For instance, if you have the Kua number 9, your 'sheng chi' direction is East. Position your bed so that your head points to the direction East in your bedroom.

...... Take a good look at your house. Is it near a cemetery or a hospital? Is there a large building in front of it? Is it vulnerable to poison arrows caused by any sharp or protruding corners? If so, your chances of amassing wealth may be reduced. If your house is nearby a building with strong yin energy (e.g., cemetery, hospitals, old and abandoned buildings), leave a light on at all times. Get the yang energy circulating by playing upbeat music or switching the television on. You can also hang a Pa Kua on the outside of your house, facing the source of the 'shar-qi' (killing breath).

...... It is believed that the Southeast represents wealth and prosperity. Keep this part of your home well lit. Display some plants in this corner to represent the Wood element. The color of Southeast is green, and in traditional Feng Shui, green stands for persistence, patience, effort and calmness. It is also the color of spring and brings a growing phase of energy. You can also place a wall light on the left side of your bed to energize the Green Dragon for general good Feng Shui luck.

...... Always keep the toilet lid down. In ancient China, toilets were built separately from the house, partly because of hygienic concerns and partly because of the belief that good 'chi' will flow away with the toilet. Nowadays toilets and bathrooms are part of the house but the old-age belief remains. It is believed that the toilet will flush away the positive vibes of your house, depending on which section it is situated. You can hang a wind chime in the toilet if you like.

...... Some people strongly believe in the usage of lucky symbols. Lucky symbols are items which are believed to be able to attract good 'chi' and thus good fortune. A very popular way of using lucky items is to tie 3 ancient Chinese coins and a small bell together, and hang it outside your main door. This symbolizes fortune and wealth knocking on your door. Three legged frogs (also known as money frogs) are also popular items found in many homes and offices.
