It\u2019s all about the elements<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nThere are five elements that feng shui uses in order to divide the world, and each element can be very easily invoked in your home!\n<ul>\n \t<li><b>Wood:<\/b> Creativity and expansion are key moods brought about by wood furniture and items such as plants and trees.<\/li>\n \t<li><b>Fire:<\/b> Increases enthusiasm and inspiration and can be brought about by candles and any shade of red or pink.<\/li>\n \t<li><b>Metal:<\/b> With just enough silver items or stones in your home, your mental clarity and logic are improved.<\/li>\n \t<li><b>Earth:<\/b> Stability, strength, and balance are created with the right amount of earth tones (brown or green) and flat surfaces.<\/li>\n \t<li><b>Water:<\/b> Wisdom and insightfulness are created when your home has a good balance of mirrors, aquariums and the color black.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1136\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Wood-Furniture_ed.jpg\" alt=\"Wood is one of the elements of feng shui\" \/>\n\nBy experimenting with these elements and finding a happy balance, feng shui followers believe that a customized space can be created that benefits your personality and goals. For quick rundown on each element and how it can be useful, visit HGTV\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hgtv.com\/design\/decorating\/design-101\/the-elements-of-feng-shui\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Elements of Feng Shui<\/a>.\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Furniture_placement_material_and_color\"><\/span>2. Furniture placement, material, and color<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nA large component of feng shui is the placement of furniture and its effect on energy, but did you know that there are two other components that are just as important as furniture positioning? Your furniture\u2019s material and color should be harmonious in order to create the best energy flow within a room.\n\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1138\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Blue-Bedroom.jpg\" alt=\"A wooden bed and a blue color scheme create a bedroom with good feng shui\" \/>\n\nFor example, if you\u2019re decorating your bedroom with good feng shui in mind, wood is the best material for a bed as it is the element of growth, new beginnings, and family. For your bedroom colors, blue is a water element and a color of calm and tranquility. Combine these two components and your bedroom will be a sanctuary of harmony!\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_The_bagua_map_is_an_important_tool\"><\/span>3. The bagua map is an important tool<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nIn feng shui, <a href=\"\/2014\/04\/discover-the-bagua-map\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bagua maps<\/a> are eight-sided, directional diagrams that use your space in order to map out your life. They identify the life areas where positive changes need to be made, and can be placed over top of a floor plan to show you which areas need the most focus.\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Its_also_about_keeping_out_foul_energy\"><\/span>4. It\u2019s also about keeping out foul energy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div style=\"overflow: auto;\">\n<div class=\"half-1\">\n\nMuch of feng shui is focused on creating a positive balance of energy, but there are practices you can employ to guard against foul energies, too. Some of them include:\n<ul>\n \t<li>Always keeping the bathroom door closed<\/li>\n \t<li>Throwing away wilted or dead flowers immediately, and also broken cookery<\/li>\n \t<li>Painting your front door bright red<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Its_a_lifestyle_as_well_as_a_great_career_choice\"><\/span>5.

You may already have these items in your home and not know that you\u2019re using feng shui!\n<ul>\n \t<li><b>Fresh flowers<\/b>. Flowers lift the energy of the home in a very natural way, and landscaping in general adds wonderful chi. There are many different types of flowers and <a href=\"http:\/\/redlotusletter.com\/feng-shui-flowers-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">each flower serves a unique purpose<\/a>. For example, single individuals can place peonies in their homes in order to help attract love in their lives.<\/li>\n \t<li><b>Wind chimes in your garden<\/b>.
