FENG SHUI ELEMENTS

Are you Feng Shui-Curious? Maybe you want to learn a trick or two to enliven your home or office. If you’ve been poking around for answers, by now you’ve probably run across the concept of the Five Elements. Don’t let this mystery scare you away. Many consultants and authors assume you know what the Five Elements are, and why they matter. If you’re new to the idea of Feng Shui and want to understand how to apply some of the principles, you need to understand the Five Elements—they are the building blocks of a well-balanced home and life. What are the Five Elements? Very simply, they are the basic elements of life: fire, earth, metal, water, and wood. In the ancient practice of Feng Shui, we understand these elements to be more than actual flames, or dirt, or pieces of wood. These elements are universal energetic essences, each with their own flavor of chi. They are phases; how energy can shift in quality and purpose between one state to the next. When you hear the word “chi” (pronounced like “cheese” without the “z” sound at the end) you can simply think of energy. How much, or what type, of “energy” does a person, place, or thing have? When you walk into a room, does it energize you, or make you feel drained? Some days, you may wake up enlivened, full of buoyancy, and other days you may feel like you can barely get yourself to work. Maybe there is a place in nature that has a certain kind of power to it. All these examples can be attributed to chi, and chi guides our practice of Feng Shui. Practitioners of Feng Shui will talk about each of the Five Elements as having a “signature of chi.” Let’s start by thinking about each of the elements, and how they might make you feel. To understand the energies of each element you need to bring to mind what they are like in nature. Tune into your own experience of the physical representation of the element as we look at each one.
