Australia went through some dry years but in the past eighteen months, most of the country has now had a good dose of water (albeit a bit too much in some areas).

Water is one of the five most important elements to be considered when analysing the Feng Shui of a property.

Water is believed to mirror the flow of Chi that circulates the earth and its orientation to a particular home or office will determine whether it is considered positive – bringing wealth and prosperity or, negative – manifesting in the physical loss of money and the loss of money-making opportunities.

Water in Feng Shui is usually employed for wealth creation and it’s an important tool for stimulating this aspect of life. It’s important however, to ensure that it is a balanced and harmonious flow of water if you want a favourable result.

When oriented correctly, water and all the various manifestations of water that are within view of the main door or entrance of a building can attract great fortunes.

Water can exist naturally or, can be shaped by man.

Natural water is part of the landscape and includes the ocean, rivers, lakes and waterfalls which all occur in various shapes and sizes.

Natural water is considered to be superior to artificially created water and to tap into these for the production of wealth requires a lot of skill and a very deep understanding of the form school and compass school applications of Feng Shui.

For most of us however, life is in the suburbs where the presence of natural water is unlikely.

Even though it is not as potent, artificially created water such as ponds and fountains can be very effective.

So, if it’s missing, stimulate nature and create artificial water.
