The colors are very important in our life because we live in a world full of energy. They affect our behavior in a positive manner and they allow us to overcome our limits in our difficult moments. We are more disposed to take advantage of a sunny day with a blue sky than a day with grey clouds, we will feel more alive when we are going to enter in a green room… The feng shui allows us to create a best synergy in our life by defining the colors in our surroundings. This philosophy expresses the colors from its 5 elements which are fire, water, earth, wood and metal and each color has its own meaning. I will describe its basic colors that we can use to |
harmonize our balance and to bring the energy in our living space.
Colors from the water element. Blue represents the sea and sky and it creates an environment of peace and trust. It is calm and soothing but also it heals and relaxes us. Black is also part of this element and it symbolizes money and income. It owns the energy of power and protection.
Colors from the wood element. Brown represents the stability and the nourishing energy. Its other color is the green which creates the energy of health, balance, and growth. Also it defines the renewal and fresh energy.
Colors from the fire element. Red means luck, happiness and fortune by bringing money, success and protection. It is considered like a divine energy since it represents sun and life. Orange represents the shining sun, it brings creativity and it strengthens concentration. Its last color is the purple which is excellent for physical and spiritual healing and meditation.
Colors from the earth element. Yellow represents good friendship, caring and comfort. Beige is used to create an energy of stability and conservatism.
Colors from the metal element. White inspires confidence, poise and purity and it represents the energy of innocence and tranquility. Gray means the self-control, dignity, control, organization and responsibility and it represents the experience.
Those colors can be also defined in term of yin and yang which are linked to this philosophy. The yin colors are blue, black, purple, white, pink and green and the yang colors are yellow, orange, beige, brown, red, mauve, maroon, lavender and gold.
Of course we can mix them but also we can combine them with the elements to create a good balance for our chi. In the feng shui, the position is very important so following where we are going to use the colors, it can influence a lot our life.
For example the fact to paint the exterior wall of our house in white, grey or blue will improve our chi only if our home is oriented to the south. If you use the colors of the earth or metal element, they will enhance the positive energy of our place if it is oriented to the east…
Also we need to be careful to not excess too much the use of those colors. For example, putting an excessive red color, it can bring anger and over stimulation. Abusing the purple color may create blood disease. Or exposing to large amounts of intense yellow can cause anxiety.
Using those colors in our daily life can bring us a lot in our harmony and favor the perception of our senses. They play an important role in our life since using the right color in a particular situation can allow us to relax, to stimulate our spirit and our creativity, to bring always good mood and to be in good health.
So we have to use them wisely in order to create the perfect synergy between us and our surroundings.
