Which Large Water Features Can Attract Wealth, Plus 5 Tips For Making Them Work For You4751484

Do you currently use a water feature in your outside space, or even indoors? Did you know a water feature  can bring you the positive energy of abundant wealth? So not only is a water feature a beautiful centrepiece in your environment, but according to Feng Shui practitioners it really works both to attract wealth and to hold onto it. You don't have to believe in it for it to work for you!

However getting these results takes some knowledge about how it should be done, in so far as employing some of the basics such as choosing the water feature type, where it should be put and what type of water it contains. In some circumstances water in the form of a feature, or some flow or body of water, may in fact have a negative effect on your wealth luck, instead of a positive effect.

A previous article in this series investigated the correct Feng Shui positioning of the water feature, as well as the difference between yin and yang water. So next let's examine some different types of water features to see how and which ones you could use.

Swimming Pool

Although you may not think of a swimming pool as a water feature, it is indeed one. Why so? Purely because it has water, is placed somewhere in your environment and the water in a swimming pool is yang water, as it has movement. Yang water is best for attracting abundance.

So apart from the pleasure of swimming in a private swimming pool, it is possibly attracting wealth to you and the other inhabitants of the property. It is vital that it should be kept clean, and that it has a good filtration system.

Waterfall Creation With Six Or Eight Steps

A design that looks striking plus can include both a water flow (an income enhancer) as well as a body of water (an income accumulator) is a waterfall which ends in a pond, which is deep and contains fish. The flow of water is especially auspicious when it travels over a number of six stages, such as groups of stones or steps. It is believed that the energy of the number six smoothens your path for success.

However another idea is to incorporate eight stages to the design, as the number eight attracts wealth.

Designing such a feature which ends in a deep fish pond, gives the opportunity to have both the body of water (the pond) as well as the flow of water.

Fountains Fountains as water features  are a very popular choice. They can either be wall mounted or free standing. There is a vast choice of materials and styles to consider from ready made fountains, or you can of course have one custom designed if you wish.

Some of the materials typically used are slate, stone, wood, bamboo and copper.

Pond With Fish

Many people choose to have a pond in their outdoor space, as it can appear very natural when designed well. Additionally it can contain beautiful plants and fish. Did you know that fish are especially lucky in Feng Shui, that those little swimming creatures actually represent increased wealth and success?

A pond can incorporate a cascade or waterfall to get this positive energy moving, or the chi (qi) as it is known.

5 Tips For Making A Large Water Feature Work For You

1. Ideally a swimming pool or any other outdoor water feature should be located in the facing palace, which is where the front door is located. However the water should not flow directly to or away from the house, but sort of towards it. Although the facing palace is the ultimate placement, for attracting wealth luck, the north, the east and south east are also excellent.

2. If you are in the fortunate position of landscaping your outdoor space, then reserve the best area, but ideally firstly find out about the bagua, which will be discussed soon in this series. Also the placement and landscaping around it should not interfere with the main residence, but instead create a grand reception in front of the house and leading up to the house.

3. Other tips are to keep a balance between the materials used, for example stone can be used around the pool, with lots of lovely colourful plants dotted around in earthenware pots, or growing from the earth, and ideally trees can be grown on the circumference of the outdoor space as they will look lovely, but also protect from external forces whilst providing shade.

4. Don't place a water feature on each side of your property's front door.

5. Keep the water and feature very clean, and totally free of clutter - to ensure the energy flow is good.

An article about large water features wouldn't be quite complete without a mention of streams, which are natural and very fortuitous when the positioning is correct. Bird baths and many other smaller water features  can also have a positive effect, so we'll feature those in the next article in this series. Any water feature and outdoor area benefits greatly from light and weather control, making the area usable for more time so that you can enjoy it plus manage the good luck energy of the area.
