Attract good fortune

by Stephanie Dempsey

Who couldn't use an extra dose of luck? Feng Shui practitioners have perfected many techniques for attracting good fortune. The more of these tips you implement, the easier it will be to attract love, money and radiant health. Give them a try and see!

Plant a lucky seed
Thriving plants represent growth. If you'd like to expand your good fortune, place a healthy plant in the far left corner of your home, then seal the deal by placing three shiny coins beneath the pot. There's no better way to boost your financial luck. Housing your plant in a blue pot will cultivate your fortune even further.

Reach for the sky
Tall, columnar shapes lift your spirits, thanks to their ability to draw energy upward. If you feel pessimistic about your prospects, place some tall bookcases, vertical artwork and high-backed chairs throughout your living space. Displaying your paintings a little higher than eye level can also improve your fortune.

How green is your valley?
Feng Shui practitioners have often associated green with luck, because it represents upward movement. If you want to reach your full potential, surround yourself with this lucky color. Use pale green to make a fresh start, leaf green to continue moving in a good direction and dark green to bring projects to maturity.

Knock on wood
Items made of wood can attract good fortune. That's because they embody nature's growth potential. Replacing synthetic materials and metals with wood can make a tremendous difference to your prospects. Even the addition of bamboo window shades, reed rugs and wicker chairs can increase your luck.

Win stars for stripes
Striped patterns are lucky because they move energy along smoothly and efficiently. Vertical stripes are particularly auspicious because they connect heaven and earth. The next time you need an added dose of luck, wear a striped sweater or scarf. Even a pair of corduroy pants can do the trick!
