Whether you need a mentor, a guru, a coach, or an angel investor, you can create energy that draws these people to you using feng shui. The trick is to enhance the energy of your home's helpful people sector (check out the bagua map below) to allow that energy to flow into your life.
Add Metal Elements
Whatever the reason you need helpful people to enter your life, you can follow the same guidelines for activating this sector. Metal is the element assigned to the helpful people sector. You can activate your mentor sector by adding a metal element.
Hang Metal Wind Chimes
Some of the metal items you can use to activate your helpful people sector include a 6-hollow rod wind chime hanging from the ceiling here.
Use Round Metal Objects
You can use round metal objects to activate the helpful people area since round is the shape that symbolizes metal. You can use round metal decorative wall accents or a round metal table. Metal table lamps with metal shades are also a way to further activate this sector.
Hang Metal Picture Frames
You can use round metal picture frames as a subtle way to introduce the metal element in the helpful people sector. Choose art or photos for the frames that are in keeping with your ideal of helpful people. This can be images of you at work or the project you need help completing.
Add Tokens or Images of Mentors
If you have a specific person in mind that you wish for a mentor, you can use a token to represent them. You may admire an expert in your field. You can place a book this person wrote, an article about them, a business card, or even a photo of them in your helpful people sector.
Use Color to Emphasize Metal
You can also use a metal color to represent this powerful element. Choose either gray, gold, white, or copper. You can paint the room this color or use it for an accent wall. One or more of these colors can be used in your home décor, such as draperies, furnishings, artwork, and accent pieces.
Include a Metal Bell or Gong
You can place a metal bell or metal gong in the helpful people sector. Ring the bell three times or tap the metal gong three times to activate the metal element. Repeat daily until your mentor appears in your life.
Add the Big Metal Symbol

The trigram Chien (above) is called big metal. The trigram Chien is three unbroken lines stacked upon each other. You can use this symbol in your helpful people sector.
Hang Six Metal Coins
You may decide to go with something simple, such as six Chinese metal coins tied together with a red cord or ribbon for big metal. The round metal shapes serve to activate the metal element.
Place a Brass Rooster in the Sector
You can place a brass rooster in your mentor luck sector. The rooster is used as a symbol of influential people. If you desire to climb the corporate ladder and need greater opportunities, the bronze rooster invites helpful people to see you achieve your goals. Make sure the rooster is facing into your office or in your helpful people sector, never out a door or window.
Add Representations of Religious or Spiritual Beliefs
Whatever your religion, you can call upon God, Buddha, a saint, or other deity by placing a religious motif or statue in the helpful people sector. For example, you might choose a metal relief panel or statue of Buddha in this sector or corner of your office. Kwan Kung, the Chinese god of war, is a powerful ally when placed in the helpful people sector.
Place Fuk Luk Sau Figurines
Fuk Luk Sau are the three immortals. Their names have specific meanings, such as Fuk (good luck), Luk (financial success), and Sau (longevity). Set them in your helpful people sector. Place them in the order they are known, Fuk Luk Sau, as a line moving from left to right.
Use Nine Emperor Coins
You can also use the powerful Nine Emperor coins from the Ching Dynasty. In feng shui, the number nine is the symbol of being complete and whole. These coins imbue the power of the Ching Dynasty. It's believed the coins offer blessings to whoever hangs them in the helpful people sector. The coins are said to invite the spirits of the nine emperors and other nobles to help you gain the status you desire.
