Examples of some traditional Chinese feng shui cures are:

The energy of money and wealth cannot coexist for too long with the energy of clutter, so be sure to do your best and clear out your clutter. Let your home breathe freely and create some open space for good things to come to you.

Make sure your money area can hold, or keep the Chi, or energy that enters your home. Ask yourself: "Does the energy easily escape through many windows in the SE area or through a back door in SE?" Also check to see if your money area is not partially missing. You will need to address all these issues in order to keep your wealth energy stable.

• For example, if part of your SE area is missing, the easiest way to balance the energy and complete the missing area is to hang a mirror on the SE wall. Mirrors bring the energy of water, which is an ancient symbols of abundance. Mirrors are also a typical feng shui cure to complete the missing areas.

If you have a bathroom in your money area, be sure to apply some feng shui tips for a bathroom in the wealth area and remedy the situation.

Make a habit of checking your money area often to see how it looks and feels. The goal of your feng shui and decorating efforts to attract the energy of wealth is to create a space that expresses the energy of abundance and has a fresh flow of Chi.

Good luck and much abundance to you and your family!
