Wallets are a powerful symbol of one’s financial prosperity. They are believed to be a repository of wealth and prosperity. As such, the way one uses and cares for their wallet is of utmost importance, akin to nurturing a Feng Shui talisman.
To attract abundance and good fortune in the new year, consider placing these three items in your wallet:
Place a few mung beans inside: In Feng Shui, mung beans symbolize luck, growth, and prosperity. By placing these beans in your wallet, you’re inviting wealth and abundance into your life. It is recommended to use 7 beans for men and 9 beans for women, choosing beans that are round and plump, and avoiding any that are moldy or damaged. Remember to replace the beans if they show signs of deterioration over time.
Carry a ‘Ngũ Đế’ coin: The ‘Ngũ Đế’ coin, or ‘Five Emperors’ coin, is a powerful symbol of wealth and prosperity in Feng Shui. Carrying this coin in your wallet is believed to bring good luck and financial blessings. However, it’s important to choose a coin with a clear origin and avoid ancient coins of unknown provenance, as they may carry negative energy.
Fill each compartment with new banknotes: A wallet should never be left empty, especially at the start of a new year. Placing new banknotes in your wallet attracts positive energy and luck, while also ensuring hygiene, as old banknotes can carry bacteria that may disrupt the harmonious energy flow.
Additionally, here are some things you should avoid keeping in your wallet to prevent bad luck:
Keep your wallet clean and free of dirt: Over time, wallets can accumulate dirt and even mold. It’s important to regularly clean your wallet with a soft cloth, paying attention to the crevices. If your wallet shows signs of mold, consider replacing it. You can also add a few drops of natural essential oil to your wallet to infuse it with positive energy and a pleasant scent.
Discard old and torn receipts: According to Feng Shui principles, keeping used receipts and torn pieces of paper in your wallet is considered inauspicious. These items are believed to deplete your wealth and indicate a constant outflow of money.
Avoid keeping oversized items that stretch your wallet: If you have keys or cards that are larger than your wallet’s dimensions, find an alternative place to store them. Your wallet should primarily be used for carrying money and a few essential cards.
Relocate family photos to another location: While it’s a common practice to keep family photos in one’s wallet, it’s not advisable from a Feng Shui perspective. Placing photos in your wallet can disrupt the harmonious energy flow, and paper photos can also accelerate the deterioration of your wallet due to moisture. It’s best to find an alternative way to keep your loved ones close.
Exchange torn banknotes for new ones: If you have any torn or damaged banknotes in your wallet, take them to the bank and exchange them for new ones. Don’t carry torn banknotes from one year to the next.
Consider replacing your wallet: If your wallet is torn or damaged, it’s time to get a new one. In Feng Shui, a torn or damaged wallet is believed to cause money to flow out as quickly as it flows in. If you have an old wallet that holds sentimental value, clean it thoroughly and store it safely. Alternatively, instead of throwing it away, wrap it and release it into a flowing body of water.
