A really simple way to raise the chi in your home that everyone has access to is to use water. Water is a huge part of life. Our bodies are seventy percent water; the earth is mainly made up of water. There are different ways you can use it. What I've done right here is just fill a simple glass bowl with water. Just having this, with nothing in it, is an adjustment. It's creating chi through the movement of the water, through the way light plays off it, and just the fact that it's a container, holding some life force. That's all you really need to do, but if you want to punch it up a little, I have some candles that will actually float in the water, and this way, it just dresses it up a little bit. It makes it a little more pretty to look at, and it's a great way to raise the chi. Now, you're going to have light inside here that will be reflecting from the candles onto the glass, and the water, and the way they play off of each other. Just placing this bowl of water with candles in it is going to raise the chi, no matter what you do. If that's all you do, it's going to be a great, strong adjustment, and a great way to raise the chi. Other things that people do with water is to get one of those fountains that you plug into the wall, and it bubbles the water quietly over the rocks and the stones that it's made of. That is creating movement, and life force, and sound, and those are great ways to raise the chi. One place that you might want to put it is in your wealth corner. The element for the wealth corner is water. It's about flow, and how you want it to flow to you, and how you want it to come to you. So to increase the flow of your wealth, you could get one of those fountains and plug it in, and have it there. If you don't want to put actual water somewhere for some reason; maybe you have a child, and it would be dangerous to do, or just not smart, you could simply get a piece of art that has water in it. But you would want something that has movement in it, like a big waterfall, or a river that looks like it's moving, so that it does have life force and energy to it. That's a great way to raise the chi in your home using water.
