Expanding Your Luck: How to Increase Your Surface Area for Good Fortune with Feng Shui
Feng shui, the ancient Chinese practice of creating harmony and balance in your surroundings, can also be used to attract good luck and prosperity. When I work with my clients, I like to say that a goal of feng shui is to increase their “surface area” for luck. That is, they can purposefully create more possibilities for positive opportunities to flow into their lives.
I really like that phrase: “increase your surface area for luck.” It reminds me that not everything is dependent upon hard work – but we also can’t leave everything up to chance. Instead, we need to apply effort towards the areas in our lives that will most increase our chances for luck.
The best way to increase your surface area for luck is by keeping your environment clean and clutter-free. Clutter blocks the flow of lucky energy in your home. By contrast, when you keep your home organized, you feel organized and accomplished. You’re also creating more space for positive energy to flow in. Have you ever been invited into someone’s car or home that was incredibly cluttered? At first glance, would you trust them with an important area of your life, like being your bookkeeper or managing your business? If you have clutter all around you, take a moment to think about how it impacts the perception that others might have of you. Is your clutter potentially preventing you from getting opportunities for good fortune?
Another way to increase your surface area for luck is by adding symbols of good fortune to your home. For example, you can place a money tree in your home, which some interpret as a symbol of abundance. Such symbols act as a reminder of your goals so you can attract positive energy to your home. Frankly, regardless the symbol, it needs to be something that YOU subconsciously believe is a sign of good fortune that will encourage you to take additional small steps every day to achieve your goals. I personally love and highly recommend vision boards for this reason.
In feng shui, the front door is considered to be the “mouth of chi.” It’s truly the main entrance for positive energy to enter your home. By keeping your front door clean and well-maintained (good fit, no squeaks, etc.), you’re creating a positive first impression, which invites in good luck. Placing a wind chime here might enhance the flow of positive energy, but it will certainly also remind you of your goals each time you hear it chime in the wind.
Choosing the right colors for the appropriate areas of your home can also increase your surface area for luck. Different colors are associated with different meanings and energies in feng shui and psychology. For example, red is associated with good luck and good reputation, while blue is associated with tranquility and peace. When you add these colors to your home decor, you can attract positive energy to enhance the flow of luck. Be sure to follow the feng shui bagua to learn about proper placement of these colors.
Increasing your surface area for luck is an important aspect of feng shui. By keeping your environment clutter-free, adding symbols of good fortune, keeping a positive first impression with your front door, and using the right colors, you can attract good luck in your life. Remember, the key to success in feng shui is to create balance and harmony in your surroundings.

10 Simple Feng Shui Tips for Attracting Positive Energy to Your Home
Feng shui is an ancient Chinese philosophy that focuses on the balance and flow of energy, or qi, in a space. When I work with home builders, I always work with them to ensure that this energy flows freely through their communities, but it is ultimately up to you to take it from there. By aligning the energy in your home with the principles of feng shui, you can create a harmonious and positive environment. Here are 10 simple feng shui tips to help you attract positive energy to your home:
- Declutter regularly: Clutter can block the flow of positive energy in your home. Make an effort to declutter regularly and get rid of items you no longer use or need.
- Bring in natural light: Natural light is a source of positive energy, so try to let as much of it into your home as possible. Open your curtains and blinds during the day, and consider adding skylights or windows to help brighten up dark rooms.
- Incorporate plants: Plants are a natural source of positive energy and can help purify the air in your home. Consider adding a few houseplants to your space to bring in some extra positive vibes.
- Choose colors wisely: Different colors can have different effects on the energy in a space. Soft, neutral colors are calming and can create a sense of peace, while bright colors can bring energy and vibrancy. Choose colors that reflect the energy you want to cultivate in your home.
- Hang mirrors strategically: Mirrors can help amplify and reflect positive energy, so consider hanging them in areas where you want to increase the flow of qi. Avoid hanging mirrors opposite doors, as they can reflect negative energy back into the space.
- Display meaningful artwork: Art has the power to transform a space and bring positive energy. Choose artwork that has personal meaning to you and display it prominently in your home.
- Keep the front entrance clear: The front entrance of your home is the first thing people see when they arrive and is an important area for the flow of qi. Keep it clear of clutter and make sure the space is well-lit and welcoming.
- Choose comfortable furniture: Furniture that is comfortable and inviting can help create a positive and welcoming atmosphere in your home. Avoid sharp edges and choose pieces that are soft and comfortable to sit on.
- Create a peaceful bedroom: The bedroom is a place for rest and relaxation, so it’s important to create a peaceful and calming atmosphere. Choose soothing colors, eliminate clutter, and add comfortable bedding and pillows to encourage a good night’s sleep.
- Incorporate water elements: Water is a symbol of prosperity and abundance in feng shui, so consider adding a water feature like a fountain or aquarium to your home. Just be sure to place it in an area that won’t disturb your sleep.
By following these simple feng shui tips, you can create a home that is full of positive energy and harmony. Remember to keep an open mind and have fun with it – the most important thing is to create a space that feels good to you.

Valentine’s Day is a special day for couples to celebrate their love and affection for one another.

To activate this sector, you can place items like love symbols, such as hearts or happy couples, in this area. You can also use the colors red and pink to decorate this area, as they are associated with love and passion.
Another important area to focus on is the bedroom. The bedroom is where you spend a lot of time, and is where you will be most intimate with your partner.

Creating a Vision Board: Using Feng Shui to Manifest Your Goals and Desires
A vision board, also known as a dream board or a goal board, is a visual representation of your goals, desires, and aspirations. In the practice of feng shui, creating a vision board can be a powerful tool for manifesting your intentions and bringing abundance and prosperity into your life. Here’s how to create a vision board using feng shui principles:
- Identify your goals and desires. Before you begin creating your vision board, take some time to reflect on your goals and desires. What do you want to achieve in your personal or professional life? What are your dreams and aspirations? Write down your goals and keep them in mind as you create your dream board.
- Gather ideas & materials for your vision board. You can use a variety of materials to create your vision board, such as magazine clippings, photographs, quotes, drawings, or other items that represent your goals and desires. You can also use a pre-made board or create your own by using a corkboard or foam board, especially if you see yourself updating your goals often. If you’re better at computers than arts & crafts, organize using your favorite software and get it printed, though this method requires a new print with each update to your goals.
- Arrange your vision board. When arranging the elements on your vision board, consider the feng shui principles of balance, symmetry, and flow. Try to create a visually pleasing and harmonious arrangement that represents your goals and desires. Be sure no area is too overpowering.
- Choose a location for your vision board. In feng shui, it’s important to choose a location for your vision board that is visible and accessible, but not necessarily in a high-traffic area. For most people, a good spot might be a bedroom wall or a home office. One school of thought is that a vision board is highly personal and that anyone questioning their goals may prevent them from becoming a reality (you may want to de-clutter these people out of your life). Another thought is that supportive friends and relatives who see your goals may help you achieve them (keep these people close).
- Visualize and affirm your goals. As you create your vision board, take a few moments to close your eyes and visualize your goals and desires as if they have already been achieved. Repeat affirmations such as “I am thankful, worthy and deserving of my goals” or “I am thankful, successful and prosperous in all areas of my life.” Be sure to phrase them in a way like they have already happened and use gratitude frequently. I repeat my affirmations while looking at my vision board once or twice daily.
By creating a vision board and using visualization and affirmations, you can harness the power of feng shui to manifest your goals and bring abundance and prosperity into your life. Don’t stop with yourself – give each member of your household an opportunity to create their own vision board and work together to help each of you achieve those goals!

Feng shui is a Chinese philosophy that focuses on creating balance and harmony in our surroundings. While it’s often associated with the home, feng shui principles can also be applied to our careers to help bring success and prosperity. Here are five feng shui tips that you can use to enhance your career:
- Choose the right office location. The location of your office can have a major impact on your career success. In feng shui, it’s important to choose an office location that has a good view of the office door but not directly in line with the door or have you back to it.
- Organize your workspace. Clutter and disorganization can block the flow of energy and hinder your career success. Take the time to declutter and organize your workspace, and make sure to keep your desk clean and free from clutter.
- Bring in positive energy. Incorporating elements such as plants, crystals, and images of water can help to bring positive energy into your workspace. This can help to boost your productivity and create a sense of balance and harmony.
- Use the right colors. Certain colors are believed to have different energies and associations in feng shui. For example, red is associated with ambition and success, while blue is associated with calm and clarity. Choosing the right colors for your workspace can help to enhance your career success.
- Use the right symbols. Symbols such as the feng shui wealth ship, ingot, and dragon can be used to bring prosperity and success to your career. You can incorporate these or other symbols into your workspace through artwork, figurines, or other decorative elements that you personally connect with as a success symbol.
By following these feng shui tips, you can enhance your career success and bring balance and prosperity to your professional life.
