Feng Shui with color Lifestyle Category

If you need change, want a fresh breeze through your house and want your life to blow, then start applying color according to the Feng shui.

Feng shui goes further than just placing your furniture in a way that the chi can flow freely.

How does it work?

The whole world around us is made up of energy, a magnetic field of positive and negative charges that constantly vibrate. This is also the case with colors. For example, red is the color with the highest vibration, the most energy. Colors also work like that in nature. Some colors attract, or repel, or represent danger. At Feng Shui, it’s about making someone feel as comfortable as possible in a room. And because color influences your well-being and your mood, it is a good idea to pay attention to this.

Yin and Yang colors

The Feng Shui distinguishes yin colors and yang colors.

• Soothe and neutralize yin colors
• activate and stimulate yang colors

Yin colors are the light, cool, soft and pastel colors. Think of gray, beige, green, blue. Yang colors are bright, warm tones such as yellow, orange and red.

Personal preference

Of course there are colors that appeal to you more or less personally. But the Feng Shui teaches you to apply colors in such a way that the chi in those aspects of your life (health, love, work or material well-being) starts flowing in the direction that you want. Always try to choose the color in a shade that you like.

Five Elements

The colors can all be subdivided into the five elements:

• water
• wood
• soil
• fire
• metal.
