Prosperity Attraction – you create your own reality

Feng Shui is an ancient Chinese system of aesthetics that is believed to utilize the laws of heaven and earth to help one improve life by receiving positive energy. I have been learning feng shui from some folks and now I will inform you the ones that I have either used myself and benefited, or adviced to some of my friends who have benefited. Some of the tips have not been tried but these are ones that almost all of the feng shui masters I have met swear by. I will omit the ones which either I have not found to work, or there were contradictive opinions from the masters.

1. There should be no obstructions outside your main door. If there is an obstructing wall or a staircase, you should alter the entrance.

2. There should be no mirrors in the house directly opposite the main door. Such mirrors result in reflecting back the good energy which enters the house.

3. Front door should not face a toilet door. Since toilet is a negative area, the good energy coming from the main door enters the toilet and gets drained away. If you have this arrangement, change the entrance of the toilet from another room or from another wall. If you cannot do this, construct a solid barrier between them. If the toilet is very near the main door, change the entrance.

4. Keep a bowl of regular unrefined sea salt in the toilet, preferably on the window sill, if it exists. There are lots of toxins in the toilet and salt absorbs it. You should also replace the salt as and when it gets soggy.

5. Avoid 3 doors in one line. If this happens, energy flows at high speed and adversely affects the occupants of the last room. You can change the middle door to avoid this problem.

6. Avoid top floor flats if the water tank is above the flat. Since water at a height is considered dangerous, sleeping below it is very risky.

7. Keep the front door free of obstructions. Since good energy flows from the main door, any obstruction like a shoe rack will stop or reduce the flow of good energy.

8. Never sleep on a double bed with two separate mattresses. This is very bad according to feng shui, because sleeping on separate mattresses lead to separation. Many difficult marriages on the verge of divorce have been said to have been saved, just by correcting this problem.

9. Do not keep mirrors in the bedroom, especially ones facing the bed. These days, couples have a fancy of keeping mirrors not only in front of the bed, but also on the ceiling! Such mirrors create major disturbances in the marriage and may even lead to a third person entering the relationship.

10. Avoid sleeping in front of the door. It is important that neither the head not the feet are directly in front of the door. This reduces the life of the person and also affects his health.

11. Do not keep leaking taps un-repaired for long. Since water is considered wealth, leaking taps is said to drain your money.

12. Do not sit with an open window behind you, as it drains positive energy and causes stress. You are also at risk of being cheated.

13. Water and fire are opposite, so never keep the kitchen burners and the saink/water pot either adjacent to each other, or opposite to each other. Keep them away and facing different directions.

14. Try to have at least one meal together with your family. This enhances the relationship between the family members. Remember, a family that eats together, lives together, stays together!

15. It is a good idea to have a mirror reflecting the dining table. It creates an impression of double the food on the table, and proposes that the family will never lack food.

16. Never display pictures or paintings that depict scenes of war and violence. It leads to arguments in the family.

17. Avoid open book shelves; keep them covered. Open shelves create “killing breath” which is harmful to the occupants of that room.

18. If you have clocks, watches and other old appliances, remove them at the earliest or get them repaired. Keeping them at home or office brings bad luck.

I have taken my favorite elements out of all the literature and teachings I’ve ever read and practiced, and insights I’ve come to though my own personal experiences on the path, and formulated these 8 Principles for Prosperity. I also encourage you to make your own list of prosperity principles based on what works for you. May these 8 principles light the fire to manifest more of your heart’s desires!

(From my experience … If you truly, wholly, fully integrate these eight principles, you have the “inner state” to create anything you desire.)

1. Prosperity comes through communication. Communicate with the world around you to expand your prosperity … through love and appreciation. You cannot experience ultimate abundance without realizing your connection to all things. As you realize we are all One, this becomes a natural part of the path to your prosperity.

2. What you appreciate in life appreciates (through the Law of Attraction). Start appreciating everything you have in your experience. Stop and jot down the things in your life that you appreciate from time to time, even on a daily basis if you are so inclined. Instead of complain about the things you don’t have, appreciate what you do have. The more you find things to appreciate the more rich you become, inwardly and outwardly. This is affirming your abundance. And employing the Law of Attraction on your behalf.

3. Learn how to consciously command what you want from the Universe (as creator). When you have a belief that keeps you in lack, you can use the power of DESIRE and INTENTION to manifest your desire. It then matters less what you believe possible for yourself or what has been your past experience.

4. The past does not exist. Your past is a figment of your imagination. It has no real meaning other than the meaning you assign it. You are one with any part of your past when you think about it … and you create more of it in the NOW. So think about the past as an eternal stream of “practice takes” that allow you to “get it right” in this moment! Only energize the elements of the past that serve your expansion into the prosperous reality you are now allowing and hence creating to be there.

5. The goal is the joy of the journey, not the result. Keeping that focus keeps you centered in the NOW moment where your true wealth can be revealed and expressed, through an endless myriad of expressions and reflections that the Universe wants to show you. This is the path of letting go, and allowing all to exist as it is. Your joy comes from simply being who you are … an infinite and abundant creator.

6. Prosperity is a “feeling place.” Not an outward experience or event. They are the reflections of how you have been feeling or flowing your Source Energy (as creator … that is all you do — flow energy). When you get that it’s all about the feeling of things, that creates anything, you’ve got it.

7. The Law of Giving and Receiving. What you give of your Self you receive back in manifestation. The importance here is HOW you give, not what you give. When you come from a place of abundant giving you receive abundance in return. When you give from the place of limitation or lack (ie. expecting something in return as a pay off) you are given more representations of lack and limitation. This can also be perceived as thinking thoughts or taking actions based on FEAR or those on LOVE. The former yields poverty consciousness, the latter, prosperity consciousness.

8. You are Worthy of goodness, love and abundance. This is the most important principle. For with it, you will realize your infinite nature. It is the foundation for creating everything you can ever desire. That’s why it is last. So you’ll remember with the most impact. Embrace that thought, if you forget everything else, and your abundance will continue to expand. Allow that thought to permeate your entire being, by affirming it as often as you must, no matter how you feel. Know you are worthy just because of who you are … a creator made in the image of the Infinite. That is who you are and will always be, eternally. So rejoice!

The feng shui tradition teaches that wealth and prosperity require the correct attitude and conditions. You struggle with prosperity when there are obstacles to the flow of chi in your home or workplace. Removing obstacles and freeing energy is part of applying feng shui. Prosperity is not just about having money or things, it is about achieving a consistent feeling of abundance and security. The spiritual view of abundance is not simply about financial wealth, but about abundance in all good things in life: family, health, balance.

Whatever your goals may be, feng shui is a tool to help you reach them. Your environment affects your thought patterns. If the environment remains static, you are likely to get bogged down as well. If you want to achieve wealth and prosperity you need an environment that works with you, not against you. This is where feng shui comes in. When energy is moving freely, it can carry you forward towards your goals. You want an environment that reflects who you are and where you are going, that embodies an intention to action. Your environment should be symbolic of the prosperity you want.

Ironically, one of the first steps in using feng shui to bring prosperity is removing clutter in your life and your environment. Extra stuff that blocks doors and windows, old clothes and furniture collecting dust mites, can stymie you. feng shui instructs you to remove these obstacles and free your space. Dead plants, broken furniture, unfinished projects do not contribute to expanding your wealth and well-being, but instead hold negative energy. Clutter is anything that is unfinished, unresolved, unused. Using feng shui, you address the clutter to free yourself. While clutter slows down chi energy, sometimes the energy in your environment can be moving too fast, like money flying out the door. Feng shui principles help restore balance between these two troublesome scenarios.

Feng shui involves not only removing obstacles but adding positive energy. Items that bring good energy contribute to prosperity. Positive inspirational objects and symbols of wealth, from coins to family photos, can contribute to creating the right kind of energy in your home. Feng shui principles guide you in adding the colors, objects and special features to your home and workplace that contribute to prosperity. Feng shui even identifies the “wealth corner” in your home, a place that needs to be kept orderly and clean and designed to bring positive, prosperous thoughts to mind.

In adding positive symbols and energies to your environment, you are not focusing on what you do not have, or on a feeling that you do not have enough. Wanting and feeling unsatisfied do not contribute to prosperity. With feng shui you are focusing on gratitude, which creates a sense of abundance. Feng shui shows you how to surround yourself with symbols of prosperity and wealth and full your environment with positive, forward-moving energy that will help you realize your goals.

Now (not at the end of the year) is a good time to check in with your wealth goals. Notice I did not say career, work or money goals. Wealth is the abundance of anything.

If you are reading this, there is a pretty good chance that you have set goals you wanted to achieve this year either formally or in your head. I usually set quarterly goals that support the year goals, as well. Being specific about your wealth goals is definitely the most important step in the process. But it can’t stop there. You have got to be in action. The actions must be totally aligned with the goal. But in order to take the right action for your goal, your head must be thinking thoughts that align with the goal. If your head isn’t thinking like a wealthy person, how in the heck do you think you will ever be wealthy?

Quite frankly, I’m sick and tired of watching people struggle along their path to their wealth goals. I am very clear that it’s your personal perspective that causes you pain, rather than the events or the absence of events in your life. Now, I completely admit that I am the first to get irritated when I find myself in some money glitch. I get angry because I know better and it’s this emotional knee jerk reaction when I find that I want more money than I have. My emotional reaction is not at the money, but the fact that I even reacted to money. For goodness sakes, money is actually easy to attract or even to stumble upon. It is only our perspective that makes it hard or easy to obtain. When I get committed to acting like a powerful woman and start thinking like a wealthy person, I am surrounded by abundance of all things. My friends even tease me about how easy I manifest. But when I forget to act wealthy, it is downright painful.

I went off track there for moment, so let’s get back to evaluating where you are with your wealth goals. Let’s say you wanted to achieve a certain amount of sales in your business this year, say $500,000, you wanted to buy a duplex as a rental property, and you wanted to go on a three-week vacation to Europe. Maybe you also wanted to feel more at ease and trusting with regard to your relationship with money. It wouldn’t really serve you to set these goals and then check on them at the end of the year. You would need to constantly ask yourself, the following:

- Am I thinking like a person who thinks they are worthy of having big sales while staying in balance?
- Am I taking actions that would support making $500,000 in sales this year?
- Do I have an anxious feeling about money or am I in complete confidence that I will have all that I need?
- Am I using all of my resources to make this easy?
- Who else has expertise in this area?
- What are out of the box or off the beaten path ideas in relation to my goals?
- Who is keeping me accountable to what I say?
- How much attention do I give my goals each week (both in my mind and taking action)?
- Do I have systems in place to support $500,000 in sales?
- Do I have a plan of action for each goal?
- Does my plan work for me?
- What thought patterns do I still have that are not supporting my goal?
- What new practices or habits do I have to be fierce about practicing?
- Am I spending more time focused on the end results or perceived obstacles?

You can probably create more of your own empowering and clarifying inquiries to support you. You need to be willing to answer truthfully because I think it is easy to be dishonest with yourself and not know it. I’m not even talking about denial. There are just some things we can’t see when we are in the middle of it. You must be willing to have a bird’s eye view of the situation and your life. This is where a coach or partner is invaluable. They have an outside view, and they are not emotionally attached to your goal. They are objective (well, at least most of the time they are!).

At any point during the year you have to be willing to change your path. If you were driving to a wedding and knew you made a wrong turn, would you continue going in the wrong direction? No! You’d correct your course. Sometimes you may even have change the goal, but that’s a whole different topic. It is not to late to achieve a goal that you set for this year. Haven’t taken any action on the duplex goal? Maybe one of the obstacles is not having enough money for the down payment or closing costs. I guarantee, if you go out and look for duplex deal that fits your criteria, you will be motivated to find a way to create the money to do the deal. Wealthy people know there is always a solution. You have to have confidence that you will find the solution. From that perspective, you will start thinking of kinds of creative ideas to get the cash. You have to be willing to not be attached to the way the deal plays out. Just keep your focus on the goal and what this property will make for you, knowing you will only say yes to something that feels good.

Let’s say you are in a service business, like me. I do have learning products, but most of my revenue comes from me being in front of people, whether it’s on the phone coaching or teaching a live workshop. Honestly, I will not be set up for true wealth just by coaching people one on one. It means that my wealth would depend on those 10 people and it’s on a month-to-month basis. And, unless I plan on charging each client a million dollars each a year, my income is pretty limited. If I take a month off to go to Europe, then I don’t get paid. This is a great indicator that I need to think of a different path. So, now I put on my thinking cap and decide that I should put a bigger emphasis on creating & selling products, coaching and doing workshops with bigger groups and creating “Jeanna” in a box. Meaning more people have access to my coaching and teaching, without me having to be in front of people live 6 days a week.

The famous question that most seminars, books and coaches ask is still one of the best, “If you continue being and doing what you are doing now, will you get to where you want to go?” If so, will you feel good in the process? I know many years ago, when I was a workaholic, I could have reached my goals, but my personal life was suffering and relaxation was something I only dreamt of. So, that path had to change. One of the biggest ways to change your path to the desired goal is simply be willing to have no regrets about what you have or have not done thus far. “So what, now what?!” Is another great question? It means, get off the past, except to get the lessons learned to make things better now. Let it go and get present to this moment.

Many times, there are very valid reasons why our goals are still off in the distance. Not good or bad. For instance, a couple of years ago, my life was mostly focused on my personal life rather than my business. My business was still very much a passion but my relationship was getting most of the attention because it felt like a crisis. Therefore, there was less attention on other goals. Was there other ways to handle my situation? Of course! The point here is, get here, in this present moment, and choose how you want to move forward. It’s never too late, and you never miss your ship. Abundance is knowing that you have, and always will have, all that you need. It’s only your perspective that plays the worst tricks on your emotional state. Money is only one aspect of wealth, and I want you all to get your emotional charge off it. Money, goals and relationships are taken way too seriously. We can have fun with all of them. We kill off our creativity when we get really heavy and place too much importance on things.

Take some time this week to evaluate your path. Be willing to change your thinking and/or actions. Throw in some fun and get support from wherever you feel best. Lots of great things are ahead for you.

This is the first chapter of the famous book of Wallace Wattles called The Science of Getting Rich. It was published in 1910. Many motivational and inspirational speakers have been inspired by The Science of Getting Rich. Rhonda Byrne, the author and producer of the famed book and movie The Secret claimed that her inspiration for The Secret was The Science of Getting Rich.

The book teaches about thinking, acting, and doing things in a Certain Way so you will become rich. It mentions a formless substance that is inexhaustible and that by thinking, acting and doing things in a Certain Way, we can manipulate it into something that we desire. Although it does not mention the law of attraction, I think The Science of Getting is basically referring to the same concept.

The Science of Getting Rich has been greatly exploited in the internet. Since this is already a public domain, copies of The Science of Getting Rich is a dime a dozen in the world wide web. There is even a network business that uses the book’s name. I just hope for the members’ sake that it will really work to their advantage and that they will not just be working so the founders will get richer.

The first chapter is called the The Right to be Rich. It is one of my most favorite chapters of the book because the truthfulness of Wattles’ words about why we have the right to be rich is undeniable. The most striking line for me is, “The purpose of Nature is the advancement and unfoldment of life; and every man should have all that can contribute to the power; elegance, beauty, and richness of life; to be content with less is sinful.”

At the end of this post is an action guide based on my interpretation of The Right to be Rich.

WHATEVER may be said in praise of poverty, the fact remains that it is not possible to live a really complete or successful life unless one is rich. No man can rise to his greatest possible height in talent or soul development unless he has plenty of money; for to unfold the soul and to develop talent he must have many things to use, and he cannot have these things unless he has money to buy them with.

A man develops in mind, soul, and body by making use of things, and society is so organized that man must have money in order to become the possessor of things; therefore, the basis of all advancement for man must be the science of getting rich.

The object of all life is development; and everything that lives has an inalienable right to all the development it is capable of attaining.

Man’s right to life means his right to have the free and unrestricted use of all the things which may be necessary to his fullest mental, spiritual, and physical unfoldment; or, in other words, his right to be rich.

In this book, I shall not speak of riches in a figurative way; to be really rich does not mean to be satisfied or contented with a little. No man ought to be satisfied with a little if he is capable of using and enjoying more. The purpose of Nature is the advancement and unfoldment of life; and every man should have all that can contribute to the power; elegance, beauty, and richness of life; to be content with less is sinful.

The man who owns all he wants for the living of all the life he is capable of living is rich; and no man who has not plenty of money can have all he wants. Life has advanced so far, and become so complex, that even the most ordinary man or woman requires a great amount of wealth in order to live in a manner that even approaches completeness. Every person naturally wants to become all that they are capable of becoming; this desire to realize innate possibilities is inherent in human nature; we cannot help wanting to be all that we can be. Success in life is becoming what you want to be; you can become what you want to be only by making use of things, and you can have the free use of things only as you become rich enough to buy them. To understand the science of getting rich is therefore the most essential of all knowledge.

There is nothing wrong in wanting to get rich. The desire for riches is really the desire for a richer, fuller, and more abundant life; and that desire is praise worthy. The man who does not desire to live more abundantly is abnormal, and so the man who does not desire to have money enough to buy all he wants is abnormal.

There are three motives for which we live; we live for the body, we live for the mind, we live for the soul. No one of these is better or holier than the other; all are alike desirable, and no one of the three–body, mind, or soul–can live fully if either of the others is cut short of full life and expression. It is not right or noble to live only for the soul and deny mind or body; and it is wrong to live for the intellect and deny body or soul.

We are all acquainted with the loathsome consequences of living for the body and denying both mind and soul; and we see that real life means the complete expression of all that man can give forth through body, mind, and soul. Whatever he can say, no man can be really happy or satisfied unless his body is living fully in every function, and unless the same is true of his mind and his soul. Wherever there is unexpressed possibility, or function not performed, there is unsatisfied desire. Desire is possibility seeking expression, or function seeking performance.

Man cannot live fully in body without good food, comfortable clothing, and warm shelter; and without freedom from excessive toil. Rest and recreation are also necessary to his physical life.

He cannot live fully in mind without books and time to study them, without opportunity for travel and observation, or without intellectual companionship.

To live fully in mind he must have intellectual recreations, and must surround himself with all the objects of art and beauty he is capable of using and appreciating.

To live fully in soul, man must have love; and love is denied expression by poverty.

A man’s highest happiness is found in the bestowal of benefits on those he loves; love finds its most natural and spontaneous expression in giving. The man who has nothing to give cannot fill his place as a husband or father, as a citizen, or as a man. It is in the use of material things that a man finds full life for his body, develops his mind, and unfolds his soul. It is therefore of supreme importance to him that he should be rich.

It is perfectly right that you should desire to be rich; if you are a normal man or woman you cannot help doing so. It is perfectly right that you should give your best attention to the Science of Getting Rich, for it is the noblest and most necessary of all studies. If you neglect this study, you are derelict in your duty to yourself, to God and humanity; for you can render to God and humanity no greater service than to make the most of yourself.

The first time around may sound embarrassing even to yourself. Or may be somewhere in the back of your mind there is a voice answering back “Yeah, right” with sarcasm and ridicule. May be a thousand questions suddenly sprung up from your mind the moment you said it.

That’s normal and natural. After all, you are doing something new. You may never even have thought about saying that out loud before because you just don’t believe it. Anyway, my purpose here is to present my own ideas of how to apply the principles outlined in this very famous book.

These are prosperity and abundance affirmations to change your old mental programming of scarcity to abundance. Use affirmations when your mind is most relaxed like during meditation. You can use the Manifest Abundance Guided Meditation. Other recommended times are upon waking up in the morning and upon sleeping at night when you are between sleep and wakefulness. Claude M. Bristol in The Magic of Believing, recommends looking in the mirror and into your own eyes when saying affirmations.

I just got an email from the Zaadz/Gaia folks. They’re promoting a new book by Brent Kessel, It’s Not About the Money: Unlock Your Money Type to Achieve Spiritual and Financial Abundance.

Looks like a very cool book. I’m going to order it.

There’s a quick quiz you can take to determine your money archetype. The information I received from the quiz was right on and very helpful.
