			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://thespiritualhealth.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/make-room-for-love.jpg" alt="fengshui-colors" title="make room for love" width="283" height="258" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2595" />Finding true love is not always easy as it is usually believed to be! Some turn to be lucky, while many still come under the unlucky “Single” category. Some don’t find their love, while several go through the painful period of divorce for several reasons. And finally, the main story is all about meeting someone special and finding true love. Well, if this is your story, then its time you call a <a title="Feng Shui Experts" href="http://thespiritualhealth.com/feng-shui/a-feng-shui-expert-at-work.html" target="_blank"><strong>Feng Shui Consultation</strong></a> service and bring in the much desired change in your life.<br />
Simply being attractive and single are not the only things that help in attracting a love partner. Your house, bedroom and several other factors are responsible for your current situation. And to come through your singlehood and its depression, you need some real magical <a title="Feng shui Bedroom Design" href="http://thespiritualhealth.com/feng-shui/feng-shui-bedroom-design.html" target="_blank"><strong>Feng shui bedroom tips</strong></a>.<br />
This was a case about my friend, a divorcee, single, and very much alone. Even one year later from her divorce, she wasn’t able to get through the pain she had and it was here when I thought I needed to help. I visited her house, especially the bedroom and yes, I did get my answer. A typically sad room with a huge iron bed, a single night lamp alongside the bed, creeky closet doors, and a dull color on the wall. This was what I saw in her room and without wasting much of a time, I decided to bring some light into her life.<br />
When recreating a room, there are few things you should consider for a healthier love life and sexual relation. These <strong>feng shui bedroom tips</strong> are sure to help, if used perfectly.<br />
•	Bed: Apart from being cozy and attractive, the bed should never be aligned in the line of the door. Always keep equal space on both sides of the bed. This will help promote a positive flow of energy into your love relation. Make sure your bed has a strong headrest. Also, never use the area below your bed for storing things.<br />
•	Color and lights: Colors on the wall add a spark to your life. However, the color on the wall mainly depends on the Feng Shui Birth Data. Example, a <strong>metal feng shui</strong> person should use earth <strong>feng shui colors</strong> like brown, and light yellow or even the metal colors like white grey. But, the fire colors should always be avoided. Candles in the bedroom are always an attraction that enhances the positive energy in it.<br />
•	Other elements: There are other factors like position of the mirror, and the windows that affect your love life. Mirror facing your bed causes infidelity, and a closed window causes a lot of negativity.<br />
So, treat yourself with these points and experience the <a title="cluttered bedroom" href="http://thespiritualhealth.com/feng-shui/how-clutter-affects-on-your-love-life.html" target="_blank">difference in your love life</a> and relationship status. These tips helped my friend and so, I bet it would work on for you also.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2600" title="Feng_Shui_clutter" src="http://thespiritualhealth.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Feng_Shui_clutter.jpg" alt="fengshui-clutter" width="283" height="258" />Love &#8211; A four letter word that we are usually in search for, all through our life. A feeling, that takes us on a beautiful rollercoaster ride and brings in an entire new phase in our life. But did you know that clutters in your house or room can affect your love life and even mess up relations? If you aren’t aware of this, read further on about the three main places in the house that have substantial affect on your relations.</p>
<p><strong>Clutter in and around Front door</strong>: Entrance of the house or the room is the most important region. And hence, the clutter near the front door has a deeper effect on our relations. In Feng Shui, the entrance is usually called as the “Mouth of Chi” which thus has the highest amount of energy in the house. Clutters in here, means that you are blocking fresh energy for your entire house. Make sure your door open completely. Don’t keep things behind the door or near in the entrance that makes area look crowded.</p>
<p>An open area looks good for opportunities and hence invites new relations. Clutters in contrast, block the energy and hence cause boredom, less romantic relations and even depression. So make space near your main front door of your house or room.</p>
<p><strong>Bedroom clutter</strong>: Relationships become more <a title="Feng shui Bedroom Design" href="http://thespiritualhealth.com/feng-shui/feng-shui-bedroom-design.html" target="_blank">intimate in a bedroom</a>. A bedroom strengthens your relations. But, a cluttered bedroom causes a completely opposite reaction. Lack of focus, difficulty in sleeping, fatigue, crankiness, etc. are caused by a <strong>cluttered bedroom</strong>. And in these conditions, strengthening a relation is nearly impossible.</p>
<p>Declutter your bedroom and invite more fresh energy into your room if you’re really interested in creating better relations and taking your love life to a fantasy land.<br />
<strong>Clutter in the Relationship space</strong>: Every room and house has a Relationship area in it. And according to the <a title="Feng Shui Bagua" href="http://thespiritualhealth.com/feng-shui/feng-shui-bagua.html" target="_blank"><strong>Feng Shui Ba-Gua</strong></a>, the South-West area of a room or house is considered as the relationship area. However, according to the <strong>Western Feng shui</strong>, the relationship area is a space in the right back corner of a room or the house. And so, to checkout your relationship area, try out your right back corner and the southwest area of your house or room. Any clutter in these areas can cause an emotional depression in your life, lethargy, lack of passion and an ineffective love life.<br />
So, clear up these important areas of your house to enjoy a better and pleasing love life. Make new relations and convert them to an everlasting phase in your life.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://thespiritualhealth.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/Feng-Shui-Garden-Tips.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1667" title="Feng Shui Garden Tips" src="http://thespiritualhealth.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/Feng-Shui-Garden-Tips.jpg" alt="Feng Shui Garden Tips" width="283" height="258" /></a>A garden is an outdoor space that should be inviting and a place to relax. Arranging and decorating it as per the principle of feng shui will help attract nourishing, high quality feng shui energy to your home as well as delight all your senses. The size of your garden is not the main criteria. The principles of feng shui can be used in any garden large or small. The main tools used in creating a good <strong><em>feng shui garden</em></strong><em> </em>are the same tools that are used in creating a good <strong><em>feng shui home</em></strong>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In <strong><em>feng shui garden</em></strong>, relaxing, flowing shapes and pathways should be created for Chi energy to flow smoothly. The entry of the home or office should be open. Foliage that may be blocking the path of Chi should be trimmed away. Dead flowers and plants that have lost their vitality should be thrown away. Dried flowers should never be used for decoration as live flowers are always better. To invite good energy to flow, the walkways leading toward the front door and all paths of energy should be curvilinear. Thorny bushes or sharp edged accessories on exterior or interior pathways should be avoided. The landscape should be manicured regularly so that they do not overgrow. The walkways or entry should be covered. The areas where natural light is not readily available such as the corridors and entry vestibules should be well illuminated.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In designing a suitable garden, it is important to know the Bagua or energy map of the home. Balance of different sizes, colors and shapes of plants must be created so that no species is overlapped by another. It is also important to understand the five elements <strong><em><a title="feng shui" href="http://thespiritualhealth.com/feng-shui/feng-shui-bedroom-design.html" target="_blank">feng shui</a> theory</em></strong>. Energy moves throughout the garden and having healthy happy plants is part of the flow of energy. Colors have a strong impact on the flow of energy too. Hot colors like red and yellow will help lift energy in the garden. Cooler garden colors like white and purple are soothing which give the garden a light and relaxing feel. There needs to be enough space in the garden that can help the plants grow freely. Some of the feng shui meanings of <a title="garden plants" href="http://thespiritualhealth.com/feng-shui/planting-plants-according-to-feng-shui.html" target="_blank">garden plants</a> are:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Woody plants    – Create movement.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Fire plants           – Provide a humorous atmosphere and beauty in the garden.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Earthy plants      – Bring peace and stability in the garden.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Metal plants       – Provide resilience to the garden elements and strength.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Water plants      – Strong and serious in nature</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The paths in the feng shui garden should never be straight because the chi energy may run quickly towards your home. So, make the paths of the garden curve and meander. The curved path will encourage the chi energy to move freely and slowly in the garden. If the paths of your garden are straight, then allow some plants to grow over there so that the chi energy can able to circulate freely.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It is important that the changes you make through <a title="feng shui" href="http://thespiritualhealth.com/feng-shui/feng-shui-position.html" target="_blank"><em><strong>feng shui </strong></em></a>bring an element of calm, balance and harmony not alone to your garden but also home. The more joyful energy you put into your garden, the more joyful and healing energy the garden will reflect back to you as well as to your home. It is also important to create an outdoor garden or small terrace garden that is a place to call home and relax. Thus, with the help of these <strong>feng shui garden tips</strong> you can create a good atmosphere in your garden.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><em>Feng shui</em></strong> is an ancient Chinese art of correcting imbalances from the physical surroundings around us and saves us from harming the health, wellbeing and our creative and professional potential. Many people they believe into the principles and methods of <em><strong>feng shu</strong><strong>i</strong> </em>and some of them are benefitted too. <em><strong>Feng shui</strong> </em>could prove an expensive affair normally as it requires to purchase various types water features, décor and furnishings. Everything in the world has an energy field. These energies could be negative or positive in nature. We can get the best benefits of this positive energy by arranging various objects containing positive energy. The <em><strong>feng shui</strong><strong> practitioner</strong></em> is normally aiming to create balance of energy throughout the space. They would usually try to manage the balance between five basic elements like water, fire, wood, earth and metal. Each element has its own importance in the human life. <em><strong>Feng shui</strong> </em>can be used everywhere, at home or at working premises. <em><strong>Feng shui</strong></em> at the working place improves the productiveness of the employees. There are many big companies has acquired the services of <em><strong>feng shui</strong> </em>for the better productivities. The concept of <em><strong>feng shui</strong> </em>is completely different than interior decoration. Interior decoration may offer positive effect on life and there is no limit to add anything as an interior decoration. The concept of interior designing is wide open and it is up to a person who wanted to add anything to his living premises. But <em><strong>feng shui</strong></em> allows the objects in your premise according to the requirement of improvisation. There is no harm in trying <em><strong>feng shui</strong></em>; you don’t have to lose anything but a lot to gain from it. The positive effect of the energy really affects on the life. It helps to maintain harmony and peace into your living space.<em> <strong>Feng shui</strong> </em>helps you in selecting the colors and placement of the object in the house. Just try to organize the in-house objects according to <em><strong>Feng shui</strong> </em>and you will find the outcomes quite relaxing, energizing and harmonious.</p>
<h4>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em><strong>Feng shui</strong> <strong>cubicles</strong></em></p>
</h4>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em><strong>Feng shui</strong></em> is basically used to improvise the productivity. The <em><strong>Feng shui</strong> <strong>cubicles</strong></em> also apply to the doors, windows and, walls and other cubical shaped furniture placed into the room or office. Positive energy is highly required at the work place and many offices are being designed based on the principles of <em><strong>feng shui</strong>. </em>If the entrance of cubicles or premise is not visible the place a mirror such a way that reflects the entrance so that people entering through the door or cubicle are visible. Odd number of healthy plants in your office helps to stimulate more vibrant and active energy in you. A nice fountain nearer to the entrance of the office can also work wonderfully. According to <em><strong>feng shui</strong></em>, the ideal position of the bed room should be in the rear of the home. The space behind the home is enriched with restful energy which is highly necessary for a good and peaceful sleep. The <em><strong>feng shui</strong> <strong>master</strong></em> also advise the use of <em><strong>feng shui</strong> <strong>diagram</strong></em> or map in the cubicle, the door is to be used as the point of orientation and <em><strong>feng shui</strong><strong> diagram</strong></em> helps to generate better energy and peace.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">As Feng shui is very important in offices and bedrooms likewise it also very helpful in the kitchen because our body is also deeply connected with the energy of our kitchen. A good <a title="feng shui herb garden" href="http://thespiritualhealth.com/feng-shui/feng-shui-garden-tips.html" target="_blank"><em><strong>feng shui herb garden</strong></em></a> in a kitchen helps us to feel the good energy around us in the kitchen. Feng shui is useful in many different parts of our home to spread good energy into our home. Thus, <em><strong>feng shui position</strong></em> is also very necessary in our life.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We <strong>f</strong><strong>eng shui our office</strong> for gaining profit in our business, but how many of us actually <strong>feng shui our bedroom</strong>? Business gains us a lot of profit in our corporate world and thus indirectly in our personal life, but we shouldn’t forget our bedroom as we spend majority of our life in our house and more specificalkly the bedroom.<img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-780" title="feng-shui-bedroom-design" src="http://www.thespiritualhealth.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/feng-shui-bedroom-design.jpg" alt="feng-shui-bedroom-design" width="283" height="258" /> We relax in our bedroom by sleeping and also spending our life’s most passionate moments with our better half, lady love and friends. Thus, if we wish to have a prosperous life full of happiness, love and trust we should not lag behind in getting our bedroom’s design changed according to the feng shui design.</p>
<p>By applying a few of the most basic <strong>feng shui designs</strong>, rules and other tools you can feng shui your room in just a matter of time and thus enjoy a sensuous. Relaxing and cherishable time in your bedroom. There are few things that you need to follow in order to convert your bedroom as per &#8220;<strong>feng shui bedroom design</strong>&#8221; with lots of positive vibes. A few of those important points are mentioned here below, which include:</p>
<p>•<span> </span><strong>Windows</strong>: Windpows are oneo fthe most important parts of the bedroom according to the <strong>feng shui ideas</strong> as they let in the positive energy in the house and at the same time remove the negative energy from it. Thus, the windows should always be crystal clear and open most of the time.</p>
<p>•<span> </span><strong>Lights: </strong>lights in a room not just affect our life but also our health. Very bright light in the bedroom can cause discomfort and thus it is more preferable to have other alternatives the overhead bright lights.</p>
<p>•<span> </span><strong>Distractions:</strong> bedroom is a place where you are supposed to relax and have cherished times with your family. Distractions in the bedroom should always be avoided as they may lead to infidelity and other issues. Thus, you should avoid having the computers, television set, treadmills, etc. in the bedroom.</p>
<p>•<span><strong> </strong></span><strong>Images:</strong> images are also one of the most important things according to the feng shui design for the bedroom. Images that describe on how you wish to feel should be installed rather than the iomages that show what you wish to see.</p>
<p>•<span><strong> </strong></span><strong>Color:</strong> colors have a great impact on our life. They not just affect our thinking but also have a huge positive as well as negative impact in our life. Thus, more neutral colors such as brown, beige etc. should be more preferred for your bedroom.</p>
<p>•<span> </span><strong>Bed:</strong> bedroom is always incomplete without a cozy bed. Thus according to the feng shui design for an ideal bedroom, there should be equal place on both the sides of a bed. Indirectly a proper balance should be maintained and they should also have end tables preferably.</p>
<p>•<span> </span><strong>Door:</strong> lastly, the doorways. Doorways according to the feng shui design and rules help in keeping stress at bay and thus they provide a strong positive energy. However, the bed should never be aligned along the door as that may have lots of negative energy such as fatigue, stress etc. and hence affect your life.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Feng Shui  originated in China. It basically stresses on living life in harmony with the nature. It is the Chinese way of increasing the Qi by using the laws of earth and heaven. <img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-682" title="dragon symbol" src="http://thespiritualhealth.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/dragon_gold1.jpg" alt="dragon symbol" width="283" height="258" />The words Feng Shui when translated to English mean wind –water. In Feng Shui various signs and symbols are used  for making the life more easy going.</p>
<p>In <strong>China dragon </strong>symbolizes good luck. The dragon is a mythological being. The dragon is seen in the posters, pictures, and paintings especially during the festive season in China. During the festival season many people wear colorfully and elaborately decorated dragon costumes.</p>
<p>The origin of the dragon is not known. Many think that is originated during the reign of Huang Di the Yellow Emperor. Huang Di is believed to be the ancestor of all Chinese population and he is said to have ruled from 2696 B.C. to 2598 B.C.. On his coat of arms there used to be a snake. Every time a battle was won by him he used to add a symbol from the coat of arm of the opponent to his own coat of arm.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Feng Shui is an ancient Chinese practice which is involved in studying how the environment affects us in our daily life. The way we feel and the way act is greatly influenced by the environment that surrounds us. Therefore, by properly organizing our surrounding it would be possible to improve our life. This is the basic theory about Feng Shui.<img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-677" title="5elements" src="http://thespiritualhealth.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/5elements1.jpg" alt="5elements" width="283" height="258" /></p>
<p>To study the environment, <strong>Feng Shui uses five elements</strong> to achieve harmony and balance in any space. These elements are: wood, fire, earth, metal and water. Each of these elements has their own characteristics and properties. Brief detail about each of these elements is provided below.</p>
<p>The first element to be considered is wood. The Chinese word for wood is ‘Mu’. Wood represents innovation, creativity and birth, and it is a sociable element. This element corresponds to the color green and the east direction. By placing this element at a strategic spot in any space, it would be possible to add all the characteristics of this element.</p>
<p>Second Feng Shui element is fire. It is called ‘Huo’ in Chinese.  This element symbolizes and brings activity, enthusiasm and energy to the places where it is found. It is a warm element which is to be handled with care as too much of this element would destroy the surrounding. Fire is represented by the color red and the direction south, and symbolizes the puberty years.</p>
<p>The next element in Feng Shui is earth which is ‘Tu’ in Chinese. This element symbolizes stability, patience and honesty. It is a methodic element that can also become demanding, and is ideal for everything that is related with real estate and inheritances. Earth is symbolized by color yellow and is representative of the early youth years. </p>
<p>Another <strong>Feng Shui element</strong> is metal or ‘Jin’ in Chinese. It represents success in businesses and harvesting. It can also represent a knife or cutting metal and be destructive through it. White and gold are the colors that symbolize it, and its direction is west. This element symbolizes the adult years of human life.</p>
<p>The last element in Feng Shui is water which is ‘Shui’ in Chinese. It has a very important role amongst all the Feng Shui elements, and actually the name Feng Shui contains its name in it, meaning water and wind. Water mainly represents communications and traveling. But it also represents learning, arts and media. Water is elemental for all living beings, be it humans, animals or plants. It can be quiet or violent. This element is represented by the color black and direction north, and symbolizes the old human years.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal"><span>The term “<strong>bagua</strong>” or “ba gua”<strong> </strong>is a Chinese term that has been derived from the book of I-Ching, which is a sacred Chinese text, used to predict the future.<img class="size-full wp-image-685  alignleft" title="feng shui bagua" src="http://thespiritualhealth.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/compass_bagua2in1.jpg" alt="feng shui bagua" width="283" height="258" /> “<strong>Feng Shui Bagua</strong>” should be considered as one of the most basic and fundamental tools in the practice of Feng Shui. Anybody who wants to learn Feng Shui should also know about this.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>The Chinese term “bagua” means eight areas. These eight areas cover various areas of one’s life. <strong>Feng Shui bagua</strong> is a <strong>map </strong>or chart that relates to the various aspects of a person’s life covering eight sections of the living space. These eight main sections of space are represented by what is known as “guas” of bagua map. <strong><span> </span></strong>A bagua map might contain a ninth center section that corresponds to the eight major corresponding life areas. The layout of a bagua map shows the nine main energy centers that are most valuable to a person’s life.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>This map is used by placing on the floor plan of the space that is being designed or being fixed for any problem. With the help of this map, it would be possible to pinpoint the problem areas that require immediate attention for rectification.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>The Feng Shui bagua is the most important tool in Feng Shui practice which is used to understand how environment relates to various aspects of life. The eight main life areas or guas consist of: wealth, reputation, love, family and health, travel and helpful acquaintances, career and wealth, wisdom, children and creativity. Each of them is represented in corresponding area on the <strong>bagua map</strong>. The center area of the map is reserved for other areas. This representation also could be represented by a bigger square divided in 9 smaller squares or “guas” which are arranged in three lines and three rows. Such an arrangement looks like a set of floor tiles. Though it looks deceptively simple in appearance, but it is a very powerful tool in the practice of Feng Shui.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>For solving any problem in life, we have to first find out to which gua the problem belongs. If it is about dissatisfaction with salary then it would relate to career and wealth gua. Thereafter, the gua map is to be overlaid over the room plan of the house to locate the area which is to be looked into to solve the problem using Feng Shui.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>For any practitioner of Feng Shui, <strong>Feng Shui Bagua</strong> is a very powerful tool for solving any problem encountered in life. <span> </span><strong><span> </span></strong></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span> </span></strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>“If only I knew that this would happen……..”This is usually the expression when any tragedy takes place. Since the dawn of civilization human being has earned to know the future.  In the quest to know what lies in store for him/ her in the future human beings have formulated and resorted to a number of ways. <img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-702" title="chinese astrology" src="http://thespiritualhealth.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/feng-shui-horoscope1.jpg" alt="chinese astrology" width="283" height="258" />Whether to believe the sources which tell the future is again debatable issue that’s never going to end. Moreover it depends on your own discretion whether to believe it or not.</p>
<p>The Chinese civilization is one of the oldest civilization in which the documentation dates back the maximum.  The origins of<strong> </strong><strong>Chinese astrology</strong> are said to have evolved nearly 5000 years back an believed to have begun in 2697 BC. Astrology in Chinese language is called Ming Shu. Earlier the Chinese astrology was also called Five Planet <strong>Chinese Astrology</strong> because it was based on the five planets namely Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn And Mars. </p>
<p>According to<strong> Chinese astrology</strong> the date of birth is very important. The year of the birth shows a specific aspect or phase of a time cycle whose duration is 60years. This is so because the Yellow Emperor passed a rule that the years must be counted in 60cycles of &#8220;Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches&#8221;. The key influencing factor is the year of birth because it influences a person’s physical and mental attributes, happiness throughout his or her lifetime, ability, personality, and level of success. The nature of that year&#8217;s animal influences the occurrences and events in a given year.</p>
<p>For the purpose of classifying and counting the years the <strong>Chinese astrology</strong> uses two systems. These two systems are </p>
<p><strong>Heavenly Stems:</strong> There are 10 Heavenly Stems. Basically there are five elements Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water which are again divided into two parts on the basis of Yang and Yin polarities. Thus there are 10 Chinese Heavenly Stems namely Yang Wood, Yin Wood, Yang Fire, Yin Fire, Yang Earth, Yin Earth, Yang Metal, Yin Metal, Yang Water and Yin Water.</p>
<p><strong>Earthly Braches:</strong> There are 12 Earthly Braches which were later replaced by the 12 Animals Signs which include Rat, Tiger, Dragon, Horse, Monkey, Dog, Ox, Rabbit, Snake, Sheep, Rooster, and the last Pig. These <strong>Chinese sign astrology</strong> is famous all over the world now.</p>
<p>The<strong> Chinese astrology </strong>can be useful for mapping our personal traits. It reveals how we react to the environment that is around us at a particular time. It is considered to be one of the most reliable accurate <strong>chinese </strong><strong>horoscopes</strong> in the world.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Feng Shui is an ancient Chinese practice which studies the effect of environment on our everyday life. This Chinese practice is based on the idea that the way we feel and way we act is influenced by the environment in which we live. By properly organizing the environment around us, it would be possible to mitigate problems faced by us in our daily life.<br />
<img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-689" title="cycle of-five-elements" src="http://thespiritualhealth.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/creative-cycle-of-five-elements1.jpg" alt="cycle of elements" width="283" height="258" />To study the environment, Feng Shui considers that our environment could be described in terms of five main elements. These elements are: wood (‘Mu’ in Chinese), fire (‘Huo’ in Chinese), earth (‘Tu’ in Chinese), metal (‘Jin’ in Chinese), and water (‘Shui’ in Chinese). According to the Chinese philosophy, these elements correspond to specific colors, shapes, tastes, seasons, directions, and parts of the body. These five elements are constantly changing and then reaching a balance. All these elements could enter into cycles which could be either constructive or destructive.<br />
A constructive elemental cycle could be described as:<br />
Wood→Fire→Earth→Metal→Water→Wood<br />
In this constructive cycle, wood creates fire which creates earth and so on. This cycle uses the positive manifestations of each element and their basic compatibility. For instance, a person born in a wood year would be compatible with a person born in a water or fire year.<br />
A destructive elemental cycle could be described as:<br />
Water→Fire→Metal→Wood→Earth→Water<br />
In this cycle, water puts out fire, which destroys metal, which chops wood, which depletes the earth, which is washed away by water. In this cycle, the elements placed next to each other are not compatible. So in our arrangement of the environment, these elements cannot be placed together.<br />
In ancient Chinese philosophy, there is a concept of buffer also. When a compatible element is placed in between two elements which are not compatible, then the adverse effect of this incompatibility would be reduced by this buffer element.<br />
In the practice of Feng Shui, we should try to promote constructive elemental cycle and discourage using destructive <strong>elemental cycle</strong> in our arrangements of the elements.<br />
To promote constructive elemental cycle, we require having some representation of these elements in our home. In this cycle, the element to the left feeds, nurtures, creates the elements to the right. Therefore, this element should have some representation in our home. In case, a number of people live in the house, then we will have to ensure that everybody’s supportive element is present in the house and there is no major conflict amongst these elements.<br />
It is hoped that you must have got some idea regarding <strong>cycles of elements</strong> as defined in <strong>ancient Chinese philosophy</strong>.</p>
