Suzanne Harper - The Feng Shui Wealth Guide: Make Your Home a Money Magnet

The Chinese words feng shui mean, literally, Wind Water. Wind to blow new opportunities your way and water to nourish your ideas and bring them to life.

It is a study and a way of thinking that is as old as the Chinese Book of Wisdom The I Ching (which translated means Easy Change). Feng shui is the study and application of different types of energy to your home and surroundings to create harmony and balance.

It may mean that you move your furniture or not. It is the energies that are important. It is acupuncture for the home and uses the rules of acupuncture, though applied differently.

They are paired opposing forces that the Chinese considered as being responsible for life on earth:

Heaven and Earth

Fire and Water

Metal and Wood

Thunder and Lake

And of course, Yin (absolute feminine) and Yang (absolute masculine).

Who Is This Book For?

This book is written for anyone who is interested in using feng shui principles for themselves to enhance their luck, and most importantly, to achieve their goals more easily.

It employs several different systems of feng shui, all of which do work on their own. In my experience, they work even better when combined.

It is also my experience that it is possible to get things wrong as well as get them right. Believe me, I have made the mistakes. This book is written in the hope that you will not. By following the simple sequences I have detailed, you can get it right the first time.

I have seen feng shui help people living in tents, apartments, houses and mansions. The principles used are the same, and they apply equally whether you own your own home, or rent it from somebody else.

The other principle to bear in mind is that the energy of where you stay is very much a now proposition.

When you travel, the feng shui energies that affect you are to do with where you are staying and not the home you have left behind.

The direction in which you travel also has an influence relating to the current year and even to the month. This comes from a system of astrology called 9 Star Ki.

There are several attitudes of mind that are as essential as the feng shui cures.

The most important one is gratitude for your home and the realization that it is already perfect. Any changes you make are to support your creativity around designing your future.

Your home is already fine, wherever you are. You have attracted it, and it is working for you now. By making changes in your surroundings, you are just asking it to do so differently. That is all, no more or less.

The key idea is that your home supports you, and is in service to your life, and not the other way around!

The great thing about having these attitudes is that you can enjoy actually making the changes. This is always useful, considering that it can take the average person, who works full time and has family commitments, up to 2 months to do what is recommended in a consultation.

The other mind set that makes all the difference is to do with your own spiritual practice. If you spend half an hour to an hour a day meditating, praying or reflecting alone (preferably in a garden, or park, or in nature), you are effectively neutralizing any negative energy around you. If you are an atheist, reflection counts as spiritual practice.

Should you do this meditating, praying or reflecting in your home, the energy there will change for the better. This is the equivalent of space clearing and ordering your own internal space. It is always more powerful to work from the inside out rather than from the outside in.
