Feng Shui helps you create a simple balanced living environment. Learning how to properly organize what surrounds you can improve your living and that is what Feng Shui is about. And according to this ancient art, one factor that makes lots of influence in your daily behavior is the color around you.
According to feng shui colors specifications, colors should not be used randomly but corresponding to what they represent. Basically, this colors are based on the five elements, water, fire, wood, earth and metal.
The first concept to clearly understand is the definition of Chi, sometimes spelled Ch’i or qi. Think of Chi in a broad sense, as the vital life force or energy that moves in and through all things. Chi can be thought of as the energy contained within your body (human), as well as the energy flowing throughout your immediate environment (earth) and the universe at large (heaven). This may not be the purest definition, as the word “Chi” has not been successfully translated into other languages, but it is one that has gained in popularity and acceptance in recent years, especially in the West.
In Chinese medicine if an imbalance occurs in one’s body, Chi is blocked and unable to move without restriction, as it would in a healthy person. When this happens, it is likely that an illness is developing in the person or there may be other manifestations such as chronic fatigue, headache or other weakened condition.
The ideal state is a healthy flow of Chi, both within a person and throughout one’s immediate environment.
Feng Shui strives for balance and harmony, and is often referred to as the art of harmonious design. When practiced, Feng Shui principles diligently promote and enhance the flow of Chi, which is necessary for vital and healthy environments.
The second concept to gain an understanding of is yin and yang. Chi and all that exists have yin and yang qualities. In Chinese thought, there is nothing that exists that does not have a portion of yin energy, or a portion of yang energy, as the famous Tai Chi symbol so clearly illustrates. Feng Shui strives to create a balance of yin and yang energies in living environments.
You create your own “winds of change” for the better as a result, because you are not only making outward changes to your immediate physical world, you are aligning your inner world through the power of your intention and visualization as you make these outward changes. Simply put, there’s more to this than rearranging the furniture!
The word “shui” in English means water but unlike wind, water is one of the Five primary elements used extensively in Feng Shui practice. As wind is representative of the intangible thought and dream world, water is representative of the physical world that surrounds you, including your immediate surroundings.
In the minds of the ancients, there was little if any separation between the categories of human, earth and heaven, as yin and yang qualities and energies flow continuously in and through all three realms.
Over centuries of study and observation, the essential thought of Feng Shui was formed – a practice born to improve the conditions and quality of life by recognizing the qualities of these energies and how to work with them for desired results. Results such as better health, improving wealth flows, strengthening family ties and building a solid reputation and career.
This may be considered a complex method, and isn’t something you learn to do overnight. But definitely you do not have to be an expert to begin implementing the basics of this art in your own home. All you need to do is learn the basics and follow your instincts, having a good aesthetic eye helps too. You can simply look at a color or design piece and judge based on what you know and what you feel. Even simple color alterations can make your life much better
