7. Check your home for broken things
Any broken thing inside the home is an energy vampire. It will suck the good energy out of your home! So if you want to create a good positive energy in your living space, be sure to start by scanning your home for any broken stuff and taking care of those either by replacing or fixing them. Anything related to plumbing, most especially, should be kept in good shape. Otherwise, you might experience a “financial clog”.

6. Get Chinese coins
Consider it a lucky charm, but other than for protection and good luck, you can also get those brass Chinese coins for attracting money. You can display these in your home by either hanging them on the wall, framing it, or by simply placing it on any surface. You can even just hide it out of plain sight, so long as you can still see it. Just make sure the yang side, the side with the four characters, are facing up. Another popular way to keep these coins is to carry them in your wallet or pocket, usually in three coins tied with a red ribbon.
5. Create a good working space
Your work desk, whether at home or at the office, should never be facing a wall as this creates a sort of block that puts a limit on creative flow and opportunities. If this is the case, re-arrange your desk so that it is facing space or a window with a view where you can feel a better flow of energy. Placing chairs in front of your desk for visitors is also recommended to help attract prosperity.

4. Place citrine crystals on your windowsill
Citrine is the “stone of light and happiness.” It is also said to foster the energy of wealth and abundance, so therefore having one and placing it on your windowsill can help attract the flow of money energy into your home.
3. Decorate your home with plants
Plants are sensitive to energy, and are therefore indicative of the energy flowing in your home. When your plants are lush and blooming, it is a good sign that the energy in your home is alive and abundant. But if your plants are browning, sagging, or dying, it is a tell-tale sign that the energy in your home is low and stagnant. Keep plants around, and make sure they are well taken care of and thrive so that good energy is also invited into your home.
2. Create an abundant front door
Your front door is the first access into your home, so you want to make sure that it is in a good and bright spot. The idea is that you want money to flow effortlessly into your front door, so you want the path to your door unblocked. Make sure the space is welcoming and abundant, and that the door is working properly and doesn’t jam. You can even decorate it with plants or wreaths.

1. Add a fountain
Adding a fountain into your home is said to help attract prosperity into your life, as water fountains are a major symbol of wealth in feng shui. It is recommended to be placed at your home’s exterior, in the direction of the Southwest or East. Once you set up the fountain, make sure the water is flowing and put 27 coins in it to help activate the water energy, with the help of the metal element of the coins.
