In feng shui, your stove represents your wealth and resources. This is where you prepare (or at least heat) food for you and your family, and being well-nourished is an important step in making sure you are able to go out in the world and cultivate financial resources.

Ideally, it’s great to have a stove with several burners. More burners represent more opportunities to receive wealth, resources, and nourishment in your life. For instance, I recently designed a kitchen with a six-burner stove. This is wonderful if you have the space and resources to do this. However, not everyone can accommodate six burners in their home — I’ve also worked with people who only have two burners or a very tiny stove.

If you’re not able to upgrade your stove to a bigger one, don’t worry! You can adjust this with a carefully placed mirror. You’ll want the mirror to be located in a way so that it reflects your burners, which visually and energetically doubles them. As you put up this mirror, do it with the intention to double your wealth. Note: make sure you choose a mirror that can safely withstand heat if you are placing it close to your stove.

While this can help to create a powerful shift in your life, remember that feng shui is not a magic pill. Even more important than making feng shui changes in your home is taking mundane action. If you don’t show up for all the opportunities you have, no amount of feng shui is going to help. It’s important to step up and take care of yourself and explore the things that you want to change in your life.

I invite you to get curious about how you can take action in conjunction with trying this feng shui adjustment. This could mean reaching out to more friends, or increasing your skills and wisdom so that you can deepen your offerings. Whatever you choose to do, make sure you are taking concrete steps here on earth in addition to making changes in the invisible world.
