Welcoming the first chills of Autumn.🍂

For Feng Shui experts, the beginning of the Autumn season can be characterized by a metal energy.

Meaning that all the movement is about concentration, from outside to inside.

As nature slowly changes and frees itself from all the life that has passed, this is probably one of the best times of the year to look inside our minds, homes, and habits and do exactly the same, letting go of everything that no longer serves our life purpose.

If we align ourselves with the rhythms of nature and its seasons, daily life can certainly be more harmonious, without feeling so tired and exhausted, with much less stress and conflict.

Balancing the Fire Element

Summer has arrived in the northern hemisphere of the planet and, for the practice of Feng Shui, this means that this energy is characterized by the fire element.

This time of year is full of energy, light and heat, but the fire element is also very powerful and requires control and attention.

Fire, which keeps us warm, can also burn us, so it is clear that we must use this powerful source of energy carefully and in balance with other elements, such as the wood and water elements, which are capable of bringing a wonderful feeling of freshness and tranquility to any environment.

Being closer to trees, plants and water can help balance your Chi in the summer, within your body and mind, and within your living spaces.

Desert landscape.

Starting this year of the Dragon with a very challenging and unique Feng Shui project in the Sahara Desert, Morocco.

Also the beginning of Fire period 9, which comes with a powerful and unexpected twist for us to absorb.

This incredible experience in the desert, where we are part of the sky just like the stars, planets and comets, where the silence is such that the only noise is our breathing and where the sand is the only path you will see.

This strong Earth element environment with all the sand and the pure fire element of the sun, makes it one of the most powerful but also challenging places on earth to be, where every single living creature struggles to survive in these conditions.

Therefore, making it habitable and suitable for this difficult environment, offering a remote, intimate and luxurious experience will be the ultimate objective of the entire team involved, with the study of feng shui, the mentors and the architects.

Mountain energy.

For the practice of Feng Shui, mountain energy has really a lot to say.
In reading the Luo Pan compass, for example, any direction (cardinal point) is associated with 3 mountains, yin or yang, that help in the deeper interpretation of the study in question.

Also in its form, in China the symbolism that is inherent to mountains determines their auspiciousness for the people who live in that region, which can be very good or on the contrary not at all beneficial, therefore there are several terms and classifications for mountains, such as dragon mountains.

In general,mountain representations are linked to the earth element, meaning support, stability and protection, which is why it is used in the location of buildings and within spaces precisely to attract these beneficial energies to the inhabitants.

Inside the building, the mountain representation should also be applied when placing tables, beds and other seating furniture, positioning them in front of a supporting wall. In order to achieve well-being, success and empowerment we should begin with the basic for human life, that we feel safe.
