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.
