The Five Elements Of Feng Shui

The basic of feng shui is based on living in harmony with one’s environment. There are 5 elements of feng shui namely :

Metal
Wood
Water
Fire
Earth

In feng shui, it is believed that everything in the environment is imbued with movement and emits energy or Qi. This is a very important aspect of feng shui as Qi is unique and constantly changing and will relate directly to whatever is within the space.

Thus, balancing the 5 elements of feng shui is essential as each element has it’s own “personality” and role in balancing the Qi within the space.

Let’s take a look at the basic “personality” of each of the 5 elements:

Metal is a positive Yang element and commonly used to suppress the negative earth energy which brings about sickness and setbacks.

Wood evolves from yin and yang and represents all living plants. The Wood element can motivate, inspire and ignite passion within the home and is important in promoting development and encourages the flow of creative energies.

Water is often viewed as a important element as it is a symbol of prosperity, wealth and abundance. So proper use of the Water element can significantly impact the opportunities that comes your way.

Fire is the most yang of the 5 elements and it represents energy and passion. It is considered the most powerful of the five elements and is symbolized by the color red.

Earth encourages a sense of closeness and togetherness and represents qualities of stability, permanence and home.
