Kara is a single mom of two beautiful children. She works hard to provide them with every thing they need and hopefully some of the special extras. By the end of the work day though, she is drained from the effort of meeting all of her responsibilities and doesn't feel as if she is meeting the kids or her needs for connecting and enjoying each other's company. In other words, it feels like her life is all work and no play and the entire family suffers for it.

In a very different set of circumstances, Jocelyn is a college student. Between classes and studying, the time she has to work is severely curtailed. Of course she needs money to take care of herself and provide the things she needs to fulfill her dream of having a college degree. Finding a way to juggle all of her responsibilities is getting stressful and her life is seriously imbalanced.

The one thing both of these very different ladies have in common is that they need to make more money. They need balance and peace in their lives to fully appreciate the bounty before them in terms of themselves and their loved ones. Feng Shui is the ancient Chinese art and philosophy of object placement to inspire the positive flow of energy and create a more balanced, harmonious life. The need to make more money and Feng Shui can go hand in hand to build a brighter future for these two ladies and you.

The first thing to be aware of when attempting to combine making money and Feng Shui is cleanliness. In both the work and home environments, it is essential to have an organized, clean space. The mind can't produce great ideas when its environment is a mess. With disorganization comes loosing important paperwork and items, distraction by the clutter, and an unwillingness of positive energy flow. It's easy to see why disorganization and debris is counterproductive to making more money and achieving harmonious balance in your life in all aspects, not just the financial one. Before implementing any more of the Feng Shui principles take the time to fully clean and organize any and all spaces in which you spend your time.

The whole idea behind making more money is to promote your financial situation to grow. When you think about something growing the first thing that comes to mind is plants. In both your business space and personal home, encourage growing energy by having house plants. Keep them healthy and green. A dead or dying plant indicates that you don't have the care and concern to take care of a plant; how are you going to take care of money? Remove any dead leaves or stalks and watch how your money situation improves. If you truly aren't good at taking care of plants, use artificial ones. The representation is the same.

Another good idea to use in combining making more money and Feng Shui is to keep everything in proper working order. It seems vague, but truly, absolutely everything needs to be kept working well. For example if a piece of furniture breaks, fix it immediately. If it can't be fixed buy a new one. If you don't have the money to replace it now, throw it out anyway and wait until you can replace it. This goes for both your work space and your home. It is important to have your belongings in good shape to promote peace and tranquility. It also helps to encourage the movement of good chi.

Everyone is busy, but in order to make more money and employ the fundamentals of Feng Shui, you must keep your living space clean. Dust and vacuum on a regular basis. After taking all of that time to correctly place your decorations and artwork, it would be a waste to not continue with a good thing. Once you are in the habit of having a clean, peaceful environment, it won't seem like such a chore anymore and you can always enlist the help of other family members or roommates in helping keep the positive energy flow moving throughout your home.

Using Feng Shui to help with making money extends beyond just the office and house. You should keep your car clean of debris and in proper working order as well. Your personal energies and chi will be more productive if every place you spend time in is clean and well maintained. This is especially important if you are in a profession where clients ever ride in your car or truck. Imagine the negative impression that gets left when a potential client, and therefore potential money source, gets in your car and empty soft drink bottles and paper is littering the floor. It doesn't inspire a great deal of confidence.

Feng Shui can greatly aid your endeavors to make more money. All you have to do is make the effort and wait for the positive energies to restore balance to your financial life.
