Basic Feng Shui: The Five Elements Theory
Jul 5th, 2009 by Ke
The five elements of Feng Shui is a concept that you must understand in order to properly apply this Eastern Philosophy in your home. Wood, fire, earth, metal, and water are the five elements and each of them is represented by a specific color and shape, among other things. In order to have a smooth flow of energy in your home, you must be able to strike a balance between all 5 elements.
The easiest way to apply the 5 elements in our home is by using the colors of each element in your fixtures and furnishings. Green and brown represent wood; red, strong yellow, purple, pink, and orange are for fire; sandy/earthy colors, light brown, and light yellow for earth; white and gray for metal; and black and blue are the colors that represent water.
