10 Ways To Increase Abundance And Prosperity

This is a simple ritual using a red envelope and a handful of dry rice. You don’t need anything elaborate: an inexpensive envelope and whatever rice you already have at home will do.

Put the rice inside the envelope and seal it. Then offer a blessing in a way that feels familiar to you. You might make the sign of the cross, gently breathe a blessing over it, or use Reiki symbols if they’re part of your practice.

Place the sealed envelope in your food pantry where it won’t be disturbed, perhaps behind a large container of rice. Keep it dry and separate from food you’ll be eating.

Let it serve as a small reminder of nourishment, gratitude and your intention to have enough to care for yourself and your household.

Oranges are used as symbols of good fortune, wealth and abundance in feng shui-inspired practices. Their bright colour also brings a cheerful touch to a kitchen.

In the chakra symbolism I’m drawing on here, orange is associated with the sacral chakra, creativity and the creation of life. That makes it a fitting colour for an intention centred on creating something new.

Place three or four fresh oranges in a bowl on your kitchen counter. Keep the bowl clean, enjoy the fruit and replace it when needed. This can be a useful daily reminder to notice the nourishment already available to you.

The stove has a special place in feng shui symbolism because it’s where we prepare food and nourish the household. Looking after it can become a practical expression of caring for what sustains us.

Keep your hob clean, remove spills once the surface has cooled and avoid letting clutter gather around your cooking area. We often favour one or two burners; when you’re cooking, you can make ordinary use of the others where appropriate.

The intention here is to give attention to an everyday part of your home, keeping it clean, cared for and ready to use.

A small plant with yellow flowers is another way I like to bring a sense of life and abundance into the kitchen. Choose a plant that suits the light and space you have.

The kitchen is a place of creation. We combine ingredients, prepare meals and make things that support our daily lives. A flowering plant can be a lovely visual reminder of that care and creativity.

Give it enough room to grow and keep it away from cooking heat. Choose a variety suitable for your household, especially if you have pets or young children.

Although the kitchen features in several of these practices, every room deserves attention. A welcoming home begins with the way we care for the spaces we actually use.

A small water fountain can be a beautiful addition to an office. In feng shui traditions, water nourishes wood, and this relationship is used symbolically when arranging a space.

A wooden desk or shelf alongside a fountain can bring those two elements together. Pictures of water scenes are another option if a fountain isn’t practical.

Choose a fountain that fits comfortably in your workspace, keep it clean and follow its care instructions. Position it securely, away from electrical equipment and anything that could be damaged by water.

For me, the intention is to create an office that feels nourished and cared for: somewhere I’m happy to spend time working on what matters.

Citrine and selenite are two crystals I include in abundance practices. In crystal traditions, citrine is often associated with prosperity, while selenite is used symbolically for clearing and renewal.

You might place a crystal where you’ll see it while setting an intention or reflecting on your next steps. A decorative feng shui crystal tree is another option.

These objects can hold personal meaning and serve as reminders of what you’re working towards. Ideas about attracting prosperity or clearing negative energy belong to spiritual belief; crystals don’t guarantee changes to your finances.

A mirror near the entrance to your home or office can be used as a symbol of expanding possibilities. It can also make the space feel brighter and more welcoming.

Keep the entrance and mirror clean, and avoid allowing clutter to build up around the doorway. Think about what the mirror reflects and choose a position that feels comfortable in your space.

In the placement guidance I originally shared, the northwest was suggested for supporting the household’s main earner, and the southeast for overall family wealth. These are symbolic intentions, rather than guaranteed effects.

Feng shui schools differ in their recommendations. Compass-based directions and entrance-based bagua areas use different reference points, so keep that distinction in mind.

Chinese coins are used in feng shui as symbols of good fortune, wealth and abundance. You can choose a few loose decorative coins or a set joined together with red cord.

In the entrance-based approach used for the abundance cheque, the wealth area is the back-left part of the home as viewed from the front entrance. You might place or hang your coins there as a reminder of your intention.

These practices are sometimes described in terms of supporting qi, the concept of energy in Chinese traditions. Here, the coins are a spiritual and decorative symbol of the abundance you hope to welcome.
