Feng Shui is an ancient Chinese science that helps us bring happiness, prosperity, and peace in our lives by balancing the energy of the objects around us. According to this theory, everything we own has an energy of its own, be it a house, furniture, clothes, or a small wallet.
A wallet is not just an object to keep money, but it is a symbol of your financial energy, prosperity, and flow of Lakshmi. Therefore, in Feng Shui, keeping an old, broken, or worn-out wallet is not considered auspicious. Such a wallet has stagnant, negative, and poverty-attracting energy.
Understand When To Replace Your Wallet
First of all, it is important to know when it is appropriate to replace your wallet:
- The wallet is torn or has a hole in it.
- The card slot or the zipper is broken.
- The wallet appears worn out and is rather ancient.
- You feel that money does not stay, or your financial situation is not stable.
Clean Your Wallet
Before disposing of your wallet, carefully remove everything that is in it:
- Old bills, receipts, unnecessary cards, tickets, etc.
- Photos, coins, or religious items (if any)
- If there is any auspicious symbol, like a picture of Goddess Lakshmi, keep it aside respectfully.
How To Dispose Of An Old Wallet?
Eco-Friendly Disposal
- Wrap the wallet in paper or cloth and carefully put it in the dustbin.
- Try to send plastic or leather wallets to a recycling center.
Burying
Some people bury old wallets in the earth so that their old energy gets absorbed into the soil and maintains natural balance.
Donating
If the wallet is still in good condition and you want to replace it only for energetic reasons, then you can donate it to someone in need. But do not keep money in it while donating.
What To Keep In A New Wallet?
In Feng Shui, there is a tradition of keeping some auspicious items in a new wallet after buying it:
- ₹1 or silver coin – symbol of Lakshmi
- Small red envelope – to attract prosperity
- Small mantra or picture of Lakshmi ji – for positive energy
