Can feng shui help you succeed? The short answer is absolutely! But when someone asks, “How?” or begs for the “secret feng shui trick for success,” things get a bit more… intricate.
Success wears many hats, after all. For one person, it might look like a mansion with an overflowing bank account. For another, it’s a life brimming with love, a happy family, and a cozy home. Someone else might measure success in passport stamps and worldly adventures, while another sees it as peace, stillness, and the freedom to meditate far from life’s material distractions.
So, how does feng shui weave its magic to attract success? First, we define your version of success. Then, we dive into the symbolism, arrangement, and maybe even the colors and numerology of your space. Enter the Bagua map—a mystical energy grid placed over your home’s floorplan, guiding us to specific areas tied to your goals.
But let’s not get ahead of ourselves! The first—and most important—step is asking yourself: What do I want to succeed in?
The Secret Sauce of Feng Shui: Feelings First
On the surface, it seems simple. But dig a little deeper, and you’ll discover this question holds the key to unlocking the law of attraction. Feng shui isn’t just about moving furniture or painting walls; it’s about cultivating the feeling of success first and then shaping your space to mirror that feeling.
For instance:
- If you say, “I want success in my career,” I’ll ask, “How will that make you feel?”
- If the answer is abundant, we focus on prosperity.
- If it’s accomplished and recognized, we’ll hone in on Fame and Reputation.
- If it’s about attracting a partner through professional success, we’ll energize the Partnership area and symbolism.
Each goal is unique, and so are the feng shui solutions.
6 Steps to Feng Shui Your Way to Success
Ready to get started? Here’s how to plant your success garden:
1. Clarify Your Goal
Ask yourself, What do I really, really want to succeed in? Just one thing for now.
2. Dig Deeper
Why do you want this? How will achieving it make you feel? Keep peeling back the layers until you uncover the emotional root.
3. Scan Your Space
Take a good look around. Does your home reflect the feeling you crave, or are there things dragging you in the opposite direction? If so, it’s time to say goodbye—or at least tuck them away for now.
4. Add a Dash of Symbolism
Introduce items that represent the success you desire. This might be where you need an expert eye (like an Interior Alignment® feng shui practitioner) to pinpoint the perfect enhancements.
5. Plant the Seed of Change
Make a symbolic shift in your space, whether it’s adding something new, rearranging furniture, or bringing in colors and textures aligned with your goal.
6. Believe and Water Your Seed
Every time you see the change, let it remind you that success is already unfolding. Some seeds sprout quickly, while others take their time—just keep tending to your intention with positivity and patience.
Success isn’t just about what you achieve; it’s about how you feel along the way. So, let feng shui be your guide as you create a home that reflects—and attracts—the success you’ve always dreamed of!
