The five elements. This is my favorite part. If you get a good understanding of the five elements, which direction you're getting in and Yang energies and the natural cycles of nature, then you understand most of Fung Shui. Remember, everything is in constant change. The most important thing is to pay attention for your house. You might be surprised how talkative your houses so what are the five elements?

Fire, earth, metal, water, and wood. Fire is full Yang energy. It's hate. It's like it's passion. Color is bright orange red shape is a triangle. Fire objects fireplace, candle star.

Triangle shaped objects, the direction itself. Earth is in yin and yang balance, its colors yellow and beige. Its shape is square. crystals and ceramic objects are the best Earth representatives. The direction is center. Matter this new Yin energy, its color is white.

Its shape is a circle. And it is represented by metal object. The direction is where water is for Yin energy. Its color is black or blue. shape is wavy, represented by actual water. Make sure it's moving, or image of water.

For direction is north. What is the new Yang energy, its color is green. The shape is a rectangle. With this represented best by life plans, and with an object. The more natural, the better. The direction is.

Have you started seeing how it all comes together? How the cycles happen, how the elements interact, how they impact each other? How the yin and yang energies all around us. And what has it got to do with compass directions. Let's take a look at the various cycles between the five elements. The productive cycle.

This is the cycle and each element feeds one of the other elements until they get back to the starting point. For example, would face the fire fire produces Earth, Ash, earthquakes metal, matter holds water, or produces water by taken out of the air for condensation. Water nurtures wood and the cycle repeats. destructive cycle. The destructive cycle works the other way around. For example, fire burns, wood, wood sets up the water.

Water destroys metal corrosion. Metal exhausts Earth and earth exerts the fire. There's neither beginning or ending to the relationship between elements, there will always be one destroying another one. This is also called the weakening cycle is one element feeds another one, it's weakened in return. Controlling cycle there is a third cycle which is called the controlling cycle, which is also very useful to know when you're working on balancing the elements in your home. For example, water puts the fire out fire mats metal, metal cuts wood, wood consumes the earth, and earth books water.

The ultimate goal of function tree is to create balance in harmony with nature. Now you've learned about the vital energy ci, you've learned that it can be good or bad for you. You've learned by you on young and the five elements, it will take a little bit of practice. But you'll see, the more time you spend with observing your hind keeping Yin and Yang, and the elements in mind, the more naturally you'll see what changes you need to make in order to achieve balance. Try this. Walk around in your house and take notice of everything you see.

The colors, patterns, shapes, materials, your mood, your feelings, the lights. Take notes. Write down how you feel in each room. Is your favorite space in your house. What's there as you are taking notice of things try to identify what elements are there saying very, very often objects are a combination of multiple elements. Try to identify the more notice the ratio elements are they in harmony and balance with each other Are they supportive of or destructive of or controlling each other?

Can you notice any elements that are dominating a room? Don't think of in in yen. Now this is important. Overall, you need the union to be imbalanced in your house, but it's okay to have more yin and yang present in individual rooms. It makes sense if you think about it. Yang is active in his inactive energy.

You might want a vibrating, energizing buzzing living room. But for a bedroom for Yin energy's better perhaps, in its calm, relaxing, less active, but you need for a good night's sleep. Now you know the basics of Fung Shui. What you need to do is spend some time exploring, observing your surroundings, getting familiar with different energies, and most importantly, listening to your intuitions. You are part of your home and you contribute to the energy around you. As much as they impact you, you impact them as you are part of the equation.

Fung Shui is not the same for two different people. Your house might seem like a nonliving item, but believe me, it's more alive than you think. It is vibrating energy, in constant movement and change. Tune in and listen
