Learn about the 5 elements
The Chinese believe everything that exists is made of 5 Elemental Energies – Water, Wood, Fire, Earth, and Metal. I call this energy CHI DOTS™…it is everywhere and always with us. Each Element represents a particular aspect of Chi and can shift energy individually and in reaction to each other. Their compatibility depends upon the Cycles of Elements.
The 5 Elements play a strong role in balancing Chi. Understanding how they can affect YOUR CHI DOTS™, personally and in your space, is one of my powerful Feng Shui tools.
Elemental Energy is manifested primarily through a shape, a color, and the element itself. Each is also associated with a location in the Feng Shui Bagua, a season, and personality characteristics.
