Today might be called ‘Wear Purple for Peace Day,’ but Feng Shui says that you should also wear this color if you’re looking for prosperity. According to this and many other ages-old traditions, purple is the color most associated with wealth, stature, religion, magic and sexuality. So you can wear purple for peace today, but don’t be surprised if you attract some prosperity and wealth as well.

Now here’s a day to celebrate in true Feng Shui fashion. It’s ‘Frog Jumping Day’ and once you read this next tip you better hop right out and get yourself a friendly frog. According to this tradition, the frog (or toad) is strongly believed to bring fortune and luck, especially in the career realm. In many Eastern cultures the frog symbolizes both the yin side of nature and the moon. Therefore, the frog is also thought to attract health and healing. If you find a family of frogs living anywhere around your living space you’re sure to soon be blessed with big fortune and great luck. Otherwise, and as earlier advised, get yourself a Feng Shui ‘money frog,’ long considered to be particularly powerful in attracting prosperity and wealth.

Few words in any language can evoke the same emotion with the same intensity as those that this day celebrates. Happy Mother’s Day to all of the mothers on this planet, the ones who gave birth and the ones who have chosen to nurture other people’s children. And if you’re one of those children wondering what magical gift to give to Mom on this day, Feng Shui says that a statue of an elephant will bring her both fortune and luck. This tradition also tells that a white elephant will deliver her heart’s desire within a short amount of time. As well, jade jewelry is believed to bring healing, health and longevity to her life while a live rosemary plant will gift her with financial independence. Giving Mom any (or all) of those gifts will definitely give you a leg up in the ‘who’s Mom’s favorite’ debate!

Freeing Up Energy
Many of us are going through our lives aware of a well of pain underlying our daily awareness that we’ve felt for so long we aren’t even sure where it comes from. It almost seems as if it’s part of who we are, or the way we see the world, but it’s important to realize that this pain is something that needs to be acknowledged and processed. The longer we sit on it, the harder it is to work through, and the more likely it is that we will be forced to acknowledge it as it makes itself known to us in ways we can’t predict. Rather than waiting for this to happen, we can empower ourselves by identifying the pain and resolving to take action toward healing it.
The very thought of this brings up feelings of resistance in most of us, especially if, on the surface, our lives seem to be in order. It’s difficult to dig up the past and go into it unless we are being seriously inconvenienced by the hurt. The thing is, when we are carrying the burden of our unprocessed pain, sooner or later, it will inconvenience us. If we can be brave and proactive, we can save ourselves a lot of future suffering and free up the energy that is tied up in keeping the pain down.
There are many ways to do this, but the first step is to recognize the pain and honor it by moving our awareness into it. In this process, even if it’s just five minutes during meditation, we will begin to have a sense of what the pain is made of. It might be fear of abandonment, childhood abuse, anger at being mistreated, or some other long held wound. As we sit with the pain, we will also have a sense of whether we can deal with it by ourselves, or not. It may be time to work with a counselor, or form a healing circle with close friends. Whatever path you choose, resolve to go deep into the pain, so that you can release it fully, and set yourself free. Remember, it is never too late in life to heal what hurts, and there is never a better time than now.
Today’s ‘Receptionist Day’ energies actually complement two considerations with one floral bouquet. Gifting your receptionist with a beautiful bouquet of flowers will not only show your appreciation but Feng Shui also says that having flowers on the receptionist’s desk makes visitors feel uplifted as well. This desk is what Feng Shui calls ‘the room of first impression’ and having flowers there will always make a really good one. I smell success if you enact this cure!

Even though today’s energies are dedicated to celebrating ‘Red Hat Society Day,’ I might guess that the reason that society has been so successful is because of the color of the hats themselves. Fashion Feng Shui says that wearing anything red imbues the wearer with confidence and power and attracts positive attention in your direction. So from wearing red hats to dancing in red shoes or wearing any other red garment — whether under, above or in between — will also attract warmth, wealth, prosperity and success.

Also called ‘Secretary’s Day’ today’s ‘Administrative Professionals Day’ is a time to appreciate and recognize those who help with climbing the ladder of success. Flowers and candy would be sweet, but a surprise day off would be even better. And if you have time on your hands and visions of bonuses in your head, then try this Feng Shui cure. Once a week try to wander through some of the wealthiest places you can find, such as high-end car dealers and exclusive hotels. Stroll around these moneyed areas for at least an hour, soaking up the energies of prosperity while also making yourself a money magnet. The promise here is that you will absorb new ideas and ways of attracting auspicious abundance energies. Then wait for the many opportunities that will offer you those same things.

Here’s an oldie but a goodie on this ‘Husband Appreciation Day.’ If you want your husband to remain loyal, faithful and crazy in love with you then you should enact the following Feng Shui exercise. Find a piece of amethyst crystal and cleanse it by waving a sage or incense wand around it, or by leaving it in salted water for seven straight days. Once the amethyst has been cleansed, tie a piece of red thread (length in some multiple of nine) to the foot of the bed and on the side your husband sleeps on. You can also position the amethyst under the bed and remove it once a year to refresh or cleanse it before repeating the entire exercise again. Believe me, your husband (and you!) will really appreciate the positive results from this powerful cure.
