The Earth Element In Feng Shui

The Power Of The Earth Element

The earth element is one of the five elements in feng shui. It brings protection, stability, and security to your home. Among the five elements in feng shui, the earth element is the most grounding. It increases comfort and supports peace, calm and stillness.

 

The shape that represents this element is square which happens to be the most stable and grounded of all shapes. The rectangular shape, horizontal lines, and flat surfaces also evoke this element too.

The colour that best represents the earth element is yellow along with the other earth tones like the light brown.

The earth element is associated with your physical health and the state of your home.  It helps you address the clutter and the weight-gain in your life.

In the creative cycle, it is nourished by fire and in turn, nourished the metal element. It solidifies the precious metals. While in the controlling cycle, it is being controlled by the wood element.

The element of the earth is represented in the three areas of the bagua map. The three areas are the relationship which can be found on the upper right,  the health area which is at the center and the knowledge which is located in the lower left of the bagua.

There are many ways to bring the earth element into your home. You can use natural crystals, stones, and even potted plants. Ceramics, bricks, and pottery are good earth element materials for your home.

Remember that a balanced home requires not just the proper placement of things but also the presence of all the five elements.

Bring In Good Feng Shui In Your Tiny Home

Living in a tiny home is the trend these days. Most people prefer to live in the city because of the worsening problem of traffic. That is why tiny homes are sprouting everywhere.

However, we can often hear people complaining how little their apartment is. They often say that the place is so small that they don’t feel at home. They say their space makes them feel like they are being suffocated. They can’t breathe.

Feng Shui is about creating balance within and around you and that includes your space. When you feel good, relaxed, happy and peaceful, then your home has good energy. The size of your house will not matter. So even a tiny home can have a free flow of energy.

Applying Feng Shui in a tiny home can be a little bit hard. The work can be too taxing. Imagine applying Feng Shui in a place where the bedroom, living room and the kitchen are in the same area. But though it may be hard, it is not impossible.

Below are ways on how to apply good feng shui in your tiny home:

1. Clear your door and entryway. Your door is the mouth of chi. Decluttering your door and entryway is important since this is where the energy comes in. Make sure that there are no unnecessary things cluttered near on it.

2. Mirrors are often used to create the impression of a bigger space. It attracts the light from the outside. It gives you the feeling that you are in a bigger space thus making it easier for you to breathe.

3. Separate your sleeping area from the rest. Your bedroom is a place for rest. Make sure that gadgets will not be visible from your bed.

4. Paint your walls with white or light colours. They make your space look bigger.

Nine Home Decoration Mistakes In Feng Shui

Home Decoration Mistakes That You Should Avoid

Your home decoration plays an important part in bringing in good energy in your space. It can bring in good or bad vibrations in your place.

 

Most of the time, people tend to unconsciously decorate their space in excess. They have the impression that having more and everything Asian symbolizes abundance.

Below are home decoration mistakes in Feng Shui that you should be aware of:

1. Using the bagua mirror as a home decoration is a big mistake. It is meant to be used outside the house.

2. Mirrors bring clarity, light, and freshness to your space. However, using too many mirrors in your home can make your space weak, chaotic and unstable.

3. Using photos of family members in the bedroom is a bad Feng Shui decoration. Your bedroom is your personal sanctuary. It’s a place for intimate moments. It’s a place to develop and strengthen your relationship.

4. Placing the aquarium in the bedroom or kitchen. An aquarium is a water Feng Shui element and using this home decoration in the kitchen or bedroom is a mistake. It is best to place this in your money area to bring good Feng Shui.

5. Making your place look monochromatic. Your home should have balance. It should have a natural flow of energy. It’s the reason why a Feng Shui home decoration expert always uses the bagua. Your place should have soft and fiery colors.

6. Creating a theme in your home that you don’t really like is bad Feng Shui. Just because  of Feng Shui is an ancient Philosophy doesn’t mean your house should look Asian. A good Feng Shui home is a house that has a good flow of energy whatever theme it may have.

7. Putting your mirror opposite of your front door is not good. It pushes away the energy that enters the house. Try placing your mirror in your living room or dining room. It represents abundance.

8. Using too many fountains is not advised in Feng Shui. A fountain is a good home decoration because it bring prosperity and peace. The sound of the water brings calm to your space. However using too much of one element creates imbalance most especially if it’s just a small space.

9. Too much home decoration results to clutter. Do not over decorate your home and let go of the things that you don’t really need.

Feng Shui And The Clutter In Your Space – Feng Shui Mastery Show

Understanding Clutter And Getting Rid Of It

Are you surrounded by clutter? Is it affecting you inside and out? Do you ask yourself “why does our house look this way?

Clutter is like an addiction. You wanted to end it but you don’t know how. You want to get rid of it but it just keeps on coming back.

Clutter is an emotional thing. Most people start to accumulate things when they are sad, feel sick or go through some difficult time.

It gets to us when we are too busy to notice it. When we are too happy or we want to feel good. Everything boils down to having low self-esteem.

Poor self esteem has many symptoms. The clutter in the mind results in physical clutter. Most of it is caused by poor thinking, pressure or doubt in oneself. We feel inferior and unworthy. When you have these in your mind, you pour your energy into acquiring material things.

Below are the reasons why most people are living with clutter:

1. The world has been teaching us that our worth is based on how much our possession is. The more we acquire, the higher our worth become.

2. When we are at our lowest moment, we feel incapable. We don’t have a sense of worth. We feel unloved and that’s where hoarding comes in. The material things replace the emptiness in our hearts.

Social media, billboards and television advertisements instill in our minds that spending and shopping can fill the gap in our lives.

We get so used to what we have and the life that we live that the word change makes us feel uneasy. The world of the unknown can make us feel uncomfortable.

The reasons above are what stops us from living the life we deserve.

Feng Shui is an ancient Philosophy that can help you deal with clutter. It helps you deal not only on the outside but more importantly on the inside.
