The Earth Element In Feng Shui

The Power Of The Earth Element

The earth element is one of the five elements in feng shui. It brings protection, stability, and security to your home. Among the five elements in feng shui, the earth element is the most grounding. It increases comfort and supports peace, calm and stillness.

 

The shape that represents this element is square which happens to be the most stable and grounded of all shapes. The rectangular shape, horizontal lines, and flat surfaces also evoke this element too.

The colour that best represents the earth element is yellow along with the other earth tones like the light brown.

The earth element is associated with your physical health and the state of your home.  It helps you address the clutter and the weight-gain in your life.

In the creative cycle, it is nourished by fire and in turn, nourished the metal element. It solidifies the precious metals. While in the controlling cycle, it is being controlled by the wood element.

The element of the earth is represented in the three areas of the bagua map. The three areas are the relationship which can be found on the upper right,  the health area which is at the center and the knowledge which is located in the lower left of the bagua.

There are many ways to bring the earth element into your home. You can use natural crystals, stones, and even potted plants. Ceramics, bricks, and pottery are good earth element materials for your home.

Remember that a balanced home requires not just the proper placement of things but also the presence of all the five elements.

Your Environment And The Road To Success

The One Thing Only 1% Of People Do

In this video, we hear some of the most successful people say one thing! #ENVIRONMENT!

That is one of the most controlling influences in people’s lives. It is not just about the buildings, the nature around you but the people around you. They can shrink or expand your vision with their attitudes, aspirations and expectations.

Now we are hearing some of their biggest speakers in the #personal #development world reiterate the #Power of the #Environment. What is saying to you and how can you ensure it is influencing you in the best way possible.

Most people have no idea of the concept of #discipline in the environment. They continue sluggishly get by in the disarray that is always around them and then wonder why they have made no progress. How many times have I reminded people year after year what they need to do to get clarity and each year I return they live in the same environment confusion despite having someone there to support them. Often people do not move until trauma or pain shifts them to do so.

Go to my website www.wealthyspaces.com or #instagram account on fengshui4you where there are lots of ideas whether business, at home or work where you can make the changes to your environment so they are inspiring you to be the best you can BE.

Recently, I saw an interview talking about vision boards but the reality is that your whole home or business is one big vision board. You have to create around you the very essence of what it is you want to feel, see in your life. This is what success is all about.

One of the first things you can start to do get some clarity in your life is to get rid of your clutter.

Then Cleanse your space like the ancient peoples did centuries ago because they understood the power of the invisibility of energetic patterns in our dwellings.

Start creating a space that carries the very idea and essence of what you would like for yourself in your life. Improved health, travel to foreign places, kids all around you and ensure your environment holds these images for you in a positive way.

If you don’t #Discipline your space, it will #control you.

The Water Element In Feng Shui – Feng Shui Mastery Show

The Power Of The Water Element

Water is one of the Feng Shui elements. It belongs to the yin or the feminine side. However, if it flows aggressively, it has more of the masculine.

 

The absence of the water element when decorating a space creates an imbalance in your place. Using the water element correctly in your space will increase the flow of energy of wealth and abundance. It’s the reason why it is called as another word for wealth.

In Chinse, water is called Shui. It symbolizes stability, honesty, and patience. Blue and aqua are the colours of water. Among the four cycles of the season, it represents winter. In the Bagua Map, it represents the Life Journey Sector or the Career which can be found at the bottom-centre of the map.

It represents wealth and luck. In the Feng Shui element, the moon and the mercury are related to water. It is also associated with the black turtle.

The water element nourishes the wood element. In the creative cycle, it is nourished by the metal element. It is controlled by the earth element in the controlling cycle.

Proper placement of the symbols or things related to the water element in your home can create an auspicious energy that can help you in your career. Using the water element in your home can harness the energy of this element and enhance the flow of chi.

Any shape that is wavy in your space brings this element in your place. Crystals, water, and glass bring the water element into your space.

As much as it brings good energy into your space, the wrong placement of this symbols is considered inauspicious. So be very careful.

Do not place water features in your bedroom as it is believed to put out the passion in your relationship.

Make sure the water feature of your home is facing towards your home. The wrong direction of water means wealth running away from you.

Creating balance in your home brings good chi in your place. Along with the other elements in Feng Shui, use the water element to optimize the good energy in your house or office.

4 Things To Check If You Have A Good Feng Shui Home Office

 

How do you feel when you’re in your home office? Do you feel motivated or do you get easily irritated? Is it conducive to learning or developing new ideas?

 

If your answers are more on the negative side, then it’s time for you to take action. It’s time for you to have a good feng shui home office.

A good feng shui home office is vital to being productive in the workplace.

A cluttered home office is filled with negative vibrations. It drains your energy and affects your productivity. It makes you easily irritated which can lead to arguments with the people around you.

Below are the things to know if you have a good feng shui home office:

1. Is your office space free from clutter? Is it neat and organized? Clutter creates stress. We tend to get overwhelmed by our work when there are tons of paper scattered on our desk.

Get organized. Put all the documents in folders. It’s much easier if you use colour coding and label each of them.

2. Do you inhale stale air in your home office? We stay in our office most of the time during the day. Sometimes, the smell of old garbage or cigarette smoke stays in the air for quite some time.

Open your window first thing in the morning. Let the smell of fresh air come into your space. If it’s not possible, use indoor plants. Plants absorb the toxins and releases oxygen in our space. Try to choose plants that are low maintenance such as snake plant, lucky bamboo or spider plant.

3. Where is your desk located? In feng shui, your desk should be in the command position. It should be positioned with the wall or cabinet behind you. This makes you feel relaxed and confident.

Your desk should be put in such a way that you can see who’s coming in but it should not be put directly straight to the door.

4. Is your space well-lit? Dark spaces make your work a little bit harder since you tend to put more effort into finding new things.

Replace old or non-working bulbs. If it’s possible, let natural sunlight get into your space.

4 Things To Learn If There’s Good Feng Shui In Your Home

 

A good feng shui home brings calm, peace and happiness. It gives us a very light feeling that makes our day relaxing and our tasks lighter.

With the stress that we experience every day due to our busy lifestyle, we often go home to a place that makes us feel worst.

It seems like owning and going home to a good feng shui home is close to impossible. Clutter, dust and broken things are present all over the place. These things bring bad feng shui in our space.

 

If we really want to live in a good feng shui home, we have to ask ourselves with these questions. How do you feel about your home? Is there peace in your house?

Below are the things that will help you discover if you have a good feng shui home:

1. Do you keep a strong door and a clean entryway? Your door is the first thing that you go through when you enter your house. Can you open it wide? Is it well lighted at night? Check the area at the back of the door. Make sure that it’s free from clutter so it can be wide open. It should also be well-lited. This way, your place will look welcoming.

2. Do you own a clean and healthy kitchen? In a good feng shui home, your kitchen is your health and wealth area. Check the cabinets, fridge, and pantry. Leftovers and expired products should be thrown away. Organization and sanitation should be your priority. Live plants in the kitchen is an added bonus.

3. Do you pay attention to your private space? Your bedroom is your own personal space. Paint it with colours that can ignite the love and passion in your relationship. There’s no better way of showing how you love yourself than to bring more love, and happiness into your bedroom.

4. Is your toilet clean? Bathrooms have a bad reputation in feng shui. It’s one of the most neglected parts of our house. Maintaining its cleanliness is a must if you want to have a good feng shui home.

5. Do you bring a piece of nature in your home? A good feng shui home is a space that has a good flow of energy. We must put in mind that everything in our home affects us, from the things we that see down to the air we breathe. Make every decoration in your home inspiring and the air that you inhale, refreshing. Use the things around you to bring out the live energy that was once there.

Creating a good feng shui home means all parts of your home are well taken care of. From the front to the back of your house. Your relationship, health and wealth corner should be checked always and if there’s something that needs your attention, then spend time fixing it.

Lucky Bamboo For Good Feng Shui In Your Home

Get To Know The Lucky Bamboo And The Energy It Brings

The lucky bamboo is a common fixture in our homes. Whether it be at home or the office, the lucky bamboo is considered as one of the most common Feng Shui cures. It is cheap and easy to maintain.

 

However, even though it is easy to take care, most people still tend to neglect it. I’ve seen countless lucky bamboo plants struggling to survive in different homes. A dying or wilted bamboo plant brings bad energy and it is bad Feng Shui.

The lucky bamboo plant is hollow from the inside. It is said that this kind of hollowness teaches us the ultimate wisdom and that is to be open on the inside and let the energy flow freely. For only when there is a free flow of energy can healing begin.

Some people ask if the lucky bamboo is related to the 5 elements in Feng Shui. The obvious answer would be an absolute yes. Here’s the reason why:

1. The lucky bamboo represents the wood element.

2. The water that you pour on the plant to nourish it represents the water element.

3. The metal coin that you put on it or the glass pot represents the metal element.

4. The red ribbon that you tie on the plant represents the fire element.

5. Rocks, stones and clay that are being used represent the earth element.

If you own a bamboo or you’re planning to own one and use it to bring good energy into your home, bare in mind that there are vital areas that you can place the bamboo. The best place to put your plant is in your money area which is the South-East and your family bagua area which is the East area of your home.

The number of stalks in your plant represents different things.

Two stalks are for love and marriage.

Three stalks are for happiness.

Five stalks are for good health.

Eight stalks are for wealth and prosperity.

Nine stalks are for good fortune.

The Perfect Time To Use Your Singing Bowls

The real purpose of singing bowls is to cleanse our space. The sound of the singing bowl brings a powerful energy into our space. It promotes healing in our place.

We are affected by the vibrations in our home, business or office. Stagnant energy causes diseases, conflict in relationships and unproductivity while a free flow of energy helps you create balance. It makes you feel good, keep you calm and happy. These good qualities create a good relationship and a healthy working environment.

Using a singing bowl to create a good vibration in your space is an ancient technique. It is a time-tested Feng Shui cure.

When do you use the singing bowl?

Below are the best times to use your singing bowl:

1. Use the singing bowl to lift the energy in your home. Use it during your space clearing sessions. It is best to use it when there’s an argument or a member of your household is suffering from a serious disease.

2. You can also use the singing bowls when money is scarce or there’s a slow down in your business. The best time to use the singing bowl is in the morning wherein everything is still calm and quiet.

3. Singing bowls are good at lifting the energy of the stagnant and dark areas in your home.

4. Use the healing power of your singing bowl before and after spring cleaning.

Bring In Good Feng Shui In Your Tiny Home

Living in a tiny home is the trend these days. Most people prefer to live in the city because of the worsening problem of traffic. That is why tiny homes are sprouting everywhere.

However, we can often hear people complaining how little their apartment is. They often say that the place is so small that they don’t feel at home. They say their space makes them feel like they are being suffocated. They can’t breathe.

Feng Shui is about creating balance within and around you and that includes your space. When you feel good, relaxed, happy and peaceful, then your home has good energy. The size of your house will not matter. So even a tiny home can have a free flow of energy.

Applying Feng Shui in a tiny home can be a little bit hard. The work can be too taxing. Imagine applying Feng Shui in a place where the bedroom, living room and the kitchen are in the same area. But though it may be hard, it is not impossible.

Below are ways on how to apply good feng shui in your tiny home:

1. Clear your door and entryway. Your door is the mouth of chi. Decluttering your door and entryway is important since this is where the energy comes in. Make sure that there are no unnecessary things cluttered near on it.

2. Mirrors are often used to create the impression of a bigger space. It attracts the light from the outside. It gives you the feeling that you are in a bigger space thus making it easier for you to breathe.

3. Separate your sleeping area from the rest. Your bedroom is a place for rest. Make sure that gadgets will not be visible from your bed.

4. Paint your walls with white or light colours. They make your space look bigger.

Why don’t you try the 7 easy ways below to get rid of stress in your home and your life:
