In this article, I have five tips on how to welcome prosperity into your home and attract positive energy during the Chinese New Year celebrations.

With these simple practices, you can create a harmonious and prosperous atmosphere in your household, and ensure a fruitful year ahead.

1. Clean Your House

In Chinese culture, it is believed that a clean and uncluttered home is essential for welcoming good fortune.

Clutter not only affects wealth but also impacts health and can cause a myriad of internal issues. Therefore, it is crucial to have a clean and organized home before the Chinese New Year celebrations.

This sets the best foundation for a strong and prosperous year ahead, allows for positive energy to flow freely and creates a harmonious environment.

So, take the time to declutter and deep clean your home, and watch as good fortune enters your life during this auspicious time!

Clean your carpets

Another important tip for welcoming prosperity into your home for the Chinese New Year is to deep clean your carpets.

I is believed that old dust and dirt represent old ways, old issues, and old problems.

Therefore, it is crucial to get rid of these stagnant energies before the start of the new year.

Deep cleaning carpets not only removes physical dirt but also clears out any negative energies that may be holding you back or causing health issues.

By cleaning your carpets, you are creating a fresh and positive environment for welcoming abundance and good fortune into your home.

Organise cupboards

In addition to decluttering and deep cleaning your home, it is also essential to organize your cupboards, kitchen, and closets.

The Chinese New Year is a perfect time to take stock of your belongings and remove any unnecessary items.

By organizing your household items, you are creating an atmosphere of order and balance, which is essential for a successful and prosperous year ahead.

This act of organizing also sets a positive intention for the upcoming year, as it signifies taking measured and deliberate steps towards success and abundance

Wash windows

Another important tip for welcoming prosperity into your home for the Chinese New Year is to clean your windows.

The saying “a new year, a new beginning” holds particular significance during this time.

By cleaning your windows, you are literally allowing for a clear and unobstructed view of what lies ahead.

This act symbolizes leaving the past behind and embracing new opportunities and blessings for the coming year.

It also allows for the entry of natural light and fresh energy into your home, creating a bright and positive space for welcoming good fortune.

So, take the time to clean your windows and enjoy the clarity and optimism that comes with it during the Chinese New Year.

Donate to charity

An often-overlooked aspect of welcoming prosperity into your home for the Chinese New Year is giving back by donating to charity.

This act not only benefits those in need but also passes on good intentions and positive energy to others.

In Chinese culture, it is believed that doing good deeds before the start of the new year brings blessings and good fortune for the coming year.

By donating to charity, you are also showing gratitude for the abundance in your own life, which is essential for attracting more prosperity.

Take the time to give back to your community and share your blessings with others, and watch as the universe returns the favour during the Chinese New Year celebrations.

Clear your main entry

As you welcome prosperity into your home, don’t forget to pay special attention to your main entry door.

In Chinese culture, the main entry door is symbolic of opportunities and new visitors coming into your life. It is important to clean and decorate the door with red and gold to invite good luck and prosperity in.

Additionally, placing a potted plant or a symbol of wealth, such as a golden ingot, near the entry door is believed to attract abundance and opportunities into your home.

By preparing your main entry door for the Chinese New Year, you are creating a welcoming and auspicious atmosphere for new blessings and visitors to enter your life

2. Pay Those Bills

Another way to welcome prosperity into your home for the Chinese New Year is by paying all your bills before the start of the new year.

This act not only helps those you are paying by providing them with their income but also sets a positive intention for your financial future.

By clearing all your old bills, you are letting go of any financial burdens from the past and starting the new year with a clean slate.

Additionally, committing to paying future bills on time and avoiding incurring debt is a sign of responsible financial management, which is essential for attracting and maintaining wealth and prosperity.

When you take the time to pay your bills before the Chinese New Year, you set yourself up for a successful and abundant year ahead

You can also try collecting monies owed to you, which is both helpful to the other person, and very helpful to you!

Did you know that one of the reasons Chinese households place red and gold banners on their front doors around Lunar New Year is for this exact reason?

Yes, the banner signifies they have cleared their debts from the past and are ready to welcome a debt free future.

In today’s modern world, it’s not as easy as that, however, this one gesture can go a long, long way to helping your mindset around financial freedom.

After all, they do say financial freedom is priceless, so pay those bills!

3. Get a Haircut

It is believed that cutting your hair before the Chinese New Year helps remove dead ends in your life and clears the way for new opportunities to enter.

Just as hair represents the end of a cycle, cutting it symbolically removes any outdated or negative energy from the past year.

This act also opens up your senses to receive new information, thoughts, and ideas, as it removes any blockages or closed-off thinking.

By getting a haircut before the new year, you are setting the intention for personal growth and positive change, which can lead to success and prosperity in various aspects of your life.

Make a trip to the hair salon before the Chinese New Year and start the year off on a fresh and positive note.

4. Red clothing

On Chinese Lunar New Year day, it is considered auspicious to wear something brand new, particularly in the color red.

In Chinese culture, red is associated with good luck, happiness, and prosperity, making it the most popular color for clothing during this celebration.

Wearing something new symbolizes a fresh start and new beginnings, while the color red is believed to ward off any bad luck and attract positive energy and abundance.

Be sure to wear your new red outfit on Chinese Lunar New Year day, and you will be starting the year off on the right foot, surrounded by good fortune and blessings

5. Lucky Red Envelope

There are many misconceptions around the famous ‘lucky red envelope’ and it’s a long-standing traditional gesture with a lovely sentiment.

The red envelope, or “hong bao” in Chinese, is a traditional gift exchanged during the Chinese New Year celebrations.

It is a red envelope filled with money and given to children, family members, and friends.

The history of the red envelope can be traced back to ancient China when coins were strung together with red string and hung in temples as offerings to bring good luck.

Over time, this tradition evolved, and red envelopes were used to give money to children and unmarried individuals as a way to pass on blessings and good fortune.

Today, the red envelope is still a popular gift during the Chinese New Year, symbolizing wishes for prosperity and abundance.

Traditions are wonderful to hand down generation to generation, and I encourage you to adapt what resonates with you, into your own family traditions.

Splash of Red & Gold!

One of the most well-known customs during the Chinese New Year is the decoration of homes with the colours red and gold.

In Chinese culture, red symbolizes good luck, happiness, and protection from negative energies. Gold, on the other hand, represents wealth and prosperity.

By incorporating these colours into your home decor, you are inviting these positive energies into your household.

It is believed that these colours also ward off any bad luck or negative energies that may be present.

Therefore, it is essential to hang red and gold decorations such as lanterns, banners, and floral arrangements to create a festive and abundant atmosphere during the Chinese New Year celebrations
