Going into the subject in this installment we will address how to use energy and the five elements for the well-being of homes, premises and other spaces. We have reviewed for this the writer Mary Lambert, who has dedicated a book to this millenary science, which I recommend entitled:
“How to use ancient wisdom to bring success to your home, career, and family life,” in this publication he presents us with wonderful recommendations on how to use it to optimize homes, professional careers and family life.
From this publication we have extracted some paragraphs to develop this article. We will begin by paraphrasing from page 20, The Five Elements, which we have presented in previous months, which according to the author states textually:
…“The five-elements cycle is used by FENG SHUI consultants to adjust energy flow in each room, creating harmony and balance in the home … ,” which tells us that the science of FENG SHUI and the people who are willing to help with their knowledge seek the harmony of spaces and their flow in a correct way so that each environment is full of well-being, a situation that we humans desire when we enjoy our enclosures, places of rest, recreation, work areas for concentration, places of study for children and young people, writers, in short, for anyone who makes their mini world a place of harmony. I consider that even our pets, today part of the family group, are authentic masters of energy, since their resting places are selected according to their preferences, a matter that seems trivial, because they cannot express their tastes for some areas or spaces, but they tend to use the same places frequently, both for their needs and for their rest.
Continuing with the author Lambert, who on the same page 20, points out:
… “Each of the five elements represents one the main chi energies, which are refinements of Yin and Yang and link to the Pakua, FENG SHUI ́s main diagnostic tool,” these five elements are vital for balance because their harmony will have an impact on the flow of energy in our lives, those of our families and our professional careers. As a reminder, the five elements that we have been mentioning are:
FIRE, METAL, WOOD, WATER AND EARTH.
In previous installments we have developed each of them and their implications and cures. The author for whom we have supported this article also points out:
“Each element matches up to compass direction, a color, a potent trigram, and a life aspiration,” which supports what we have said about each element, each one has a force that helps to improve that flow of energy that we have talked about repeatedly in each monthly article on the subject in question.
Being the choice of decorations and designs something so personal and subjective, even adjusted to budgets, uses and frequencies of uses, these recommendations can play a necessary role before making decisions that can alter the energy and therefore the harmony of the environment.
FENG SHUI consultants are people who can help make these decisions as appropriate as possible to our needs and budget, size of spaces and their implications on positive energy or CHI.
Lambert points out on page 7 of the aforementioned book, what we set out below:
“The five elements: Fire, Metal, Wood, Water and Earth are an integral part of FENG SHUI practice and can be brought into the home in many different forms … ,” this means that we can integrate elements into our homes, sometimes we even already have them or they are inexpensive, or better yet rearrange them in a position that promotes a good flow of energy.
Dear neighbors, we are waiting for your questions, as on other occasions, in order to support your questions. Each month we aspire to write the article that meets the needs and interests of our readers, neighbors of the Boca Pointe community. Therefore, it would be interesting for you to write to the email in case you want a particular topic related to the ancient science of FENG SHUI.
Perhaps a question, no matter how simple it may seem, can solve a certain situation and thus optimize spaces, environments or other areas.
We welcome your doubts and with this we will contribute to a better world for all.
Milagros.
