I’ve been reading more about Feng shui and since everything is believed to have energy the placement of everything in your home and office can either hinder or help your goals. I want to understand more about creating good energy because it can even help your health. I did create good energy in my work space and I’m happy with this room.

The Ba-Gua and the compass are the two main tools of Feng shui. The Ba-Gua is a map that contains the symbols of the I Ching which I understand feng shui originated from. I want to find a class so I can learn more about those 8 specialized areas and what they represent. Along with the color scheme that is best suited to them.

Feng shui has really gotten popular in the Western world in the past 2 decades and many people believe that it improves their life. We all want that positive energy to feel well and healthy and meet the goals we set for ourselves. The main goal is to create a place of peace and harmony and to achieve that you need to use the five elements and they each have their own characteristics.   
                                                                                                                                  

The five elements are wood, fire, earth, metal and water and these are used to balance the positive energy. To increase the wood energy which is connected to the color green and placed in the east portion of your space live plants are used like a small palm and fern and they help filter the air and increase oxygen making the atmosphere of your space more healthy.

Fire which is connected with orange, red, and purples would be something that uses electricity or produces heat and this would be the south portion of your space. A television or lamp with a red lampshade could be used to increase the fire energy of the area.

Earth would be the NE portion of your space and the colors would be tans, browns, and beiges. Brickwork and anything that uses rocks also clay pots, tiles, and ceramics increase the earth energy.

Metal is in the west portion and connected to white and gold. Water is in the North portion and connected to blue and blacks and represents winter. Water can disturb all the energy in your space if used improperly. Aquariums and fountains would be the easiest ways to increase water energy.

I have also recently learned that my bedroom is all wrong and the shape should be square or rectancular, the bed should not be facing the door and the headboard should not be in front of a window, no overhead beams above the bed or mirrors facing the bed.

These things will negatively affect the Chi of your space, I don’t have the beams, but everything else I have wrong, the room shape is okay though, but if the room was oddly shaped I could use a divider to help. I really need to learn more because I need all the positive energy I can get.
