direction of the home (or building). But get it right and riches should flow to the residents of the home easily and effortlessly. Usually this exercise is best done with the help of the third dimension i.e. engaging the help of the landlord spirits of the land. But we do not all live near lakes or rivers… people
like us must create our own water flows and our own bodies of water - ponds or pools of water that are near enough, deep enough and yang enough to simulate the prosperity-bringing properties of natural water. Tis is possible only if you live on landed property; only then is it possible to create auspicious water that benefits your home.
Te good news about water is that there are probably
four or five SPOTS around your home where its presence would either enhance prosperity luck for you or subdue afflictive luck coming from harmful structures in the surrounding environment. Learning to position your water correctly is part of what good feng shui is about.
Thus for instance the
front of the house where the front door is located i.e. what we in feng shui term your facing palace, is where the presence of a body of water is most helpful. In this part of the house, having yang water here would definitely enhance your growth luck and increase your net worth. Tis is based on the sheng chi energy located in the facing palace, and since sheng chi is of the Wood element, Water here helps the Wood grow and expand. So water at the front of the house is always a very beneficial feature. Ten comes the difficult
than outside the home. And to keep the water yang, I introduce some feng shui
It is the water inside the house which signifies that prosperity is already captured; it is already inside rather
part... Do we create the water inside or outside the house? Here, different feng shui experts recommend different things. Some prefer the water to be outside gathering the chi and then wafting into the home through an open door or window, while other experts firmly maintain that having water inside the home, in the vicinity of the foyer area, is what will get the prosperity chi moving. For me, I have water both outside as well as inside the home… and inside the home I prefer to place the water on the left side of the main door, as water in the middle (very good for period of 8) is not convenient for me, while water on the right will cause me too much headache in case my husband develops a heightened libido for sweet young things! To avoid this problem, I have

made very sure my water is on the left side of the main door. But definitely I want water also inside the house. Water inside the home near the foyer area, near the main door and if possible placed in the facing palace of the home is very auspicious. Tis is also something that can quite easily be built; and APARTMENT dwellers can also have this kind of prosperity-bringing water. Te only problem is that water is most effective when it is dug into the ground. Tere has to be at least some kind of depth to the water - and according to the old Masters I consulted with in the old days, the deeper the water at the front of the house, the deeper will be your wealth luck! Tat is why building wells in the backyard or near the front of the house in the appropriate Compass location is simply so beneficial. But while water that fills up a hole dug into the earth is the most auspicious, this is not something that can be done carelessly. Note that to have a pond of water inside the house YOU MUST INCORPORATE THIS INTO YOUR PLANS WHILE BUILDING THE HOUSE. You must not dig inside your house once you have moved in. Digging a hole in a ground inside the home especially if you or your family are living within is so BAD, and is such a TABOO, that it can cause the family to lose the house altogether and to become bankrupt. Now that’s the secret
taboo! If you want to build water inside your home, make sure it gets done before you move in. You cannot and must not dig inside the home. This disturbs the EARTH SPIRITS of your home - and the repercussions can be extremely severe.
ANOTHER SOLUTION. Or you can do what I did! I had a very nice pond outside my house in the
Seventies when my house was first built. Tat time my knowledge of feng shui was quite inadequate so we kept the water outside the house. It brought me luck but small luck! After I returned from my nine years in Hong Kong, I was armed with more serious knowledge of feng shui. I decided to expand my home by building around the pond, hence wrapping it around and bringing it into the home. Tis signified bringing the wealth represented by the water into the home. Te effect of this simple move and of the renovation did wonders for us in terms of enhancing our feng shui. Basically I had successfully brought the lucky water inside without digging.
