Traditional Feng Shui uses only five elements of nature to create
a balanced and supportive environment in a Productive Cycle.
|
Once an accurate qi map of a building has been completed we
can begin using the five elements of Fire, Earth, Metal, Water, and Wood to enhance the positive and counter the negative
qi by creating a productive cycle.
|
|
Fire produces ash as it burns, which is returned to replenish
earth.
|
Fire includes burning fireplaces or candles, but since this
can be hazardous, the color red can be used. This could be a red accent piece such as a rug or pillows. A small red light,
or lamp with a red lampshade also provides a suitable Fire presence.
|
|
Earth compacts to form metal.
|
Earth element includes masonry, ceramic, terra cotta pots, stone
statuary. The colors of brown and yellow can also be used for the Earth element.
|
|
Metal removed from the earth allows for condensation and the
presence of water.
|
The element of Metal includes any metallic object. This can
be metal decorative items, filing cabinets, pails, or the colors white or gold. Some circumstances require moving metal such
as a grandfather clock or heavy metal items.
|
|
Water feeds the growth of trees and vegetation.
|
Water can be added by the use of table fountains, aquariums,
or the colors black or navy.
|
|
Wood provides fuel
for the production of fire.
