SPA’s and enjoying an environment of relaxation and tranquility where you can feel such an amazing Feng Shui.

The acronym SPA comes from the term “salus per aquam”, which is a Latin expression that means healing through water or health through water.

Traditionally, spas were more present in hotels or resorts located outside the city and sought after by people who want rest and health care.

Nourishing our body and soul with the Water element is really taking care of our health, something that should be more frequent in our lives, like the ancient Romans who used the place for therapy and also for relaxation and conviviality.

Since in most of the homes it is difficult to have an environment like this, having the chance to relax in a calm and peaceful atmosphere is quite a blessing.

Being able to enjoy this type of energy, not only strengthens us but connects us more to our interior, disconnecting from worries and external life, listening to our physical and emotional blockages while setting off on a profound journey of healing.

West direction in Feng Shui practice.

In Feng Shui, the Metal element is characterized by west and northwest directions.
Its colors are white, gray and silver or gold, so using these colors or metallic and round materials can help you achieve a clearer, more focused environment.

The autumn season is also associated with this element that has a strong energy of cooling and contraction, as well as the ability to let go of what nature has created in previous seasons, respecting the Earth’s cycle.

So if you need more focus, clarity, creativity, discipline and freshness in your life, try using metal element as your ally and feel its power.

However, for more advanced studies, we can work with the quality of each direction according to the year and with our own Ki number.

Bringing Fire Element inside.

As seasons change and we begin to feel the cold weather aproaching, Fire elements inside the spaces are crucial for the overall balance and well being of its inhabitants.

Preparing the homes for the cold is fundamental, searching for a feeling of comfort and protection inside.

Generally, using a fire place, warmer fabrics, candles, lights and touches of red could be a great way to increase Fire energy in any environment, as well as bringing warmth to any home.

Does having crystals at home bring a good Feng Shui?

Crystals are perhaps one of the most valuable earth elements we have on Earth, they can be found deep within Mother Nature and are characterized by a wide variety of colors, shapes and values.

They also carry a certain mystery, for example about their age that only specific studies can tell, and we would be surprised if we knew that they have been around for thousands and thousands of years, going through all sorts of Earth transformations.

So if we have any crystal at home, even a small one, we should check it every now and then, just to see if it’s clean or dusty, does it sparkle and brings a good sensation, or is it just sitting there with no energy? Also where to place it should be something to consider.

Some scholars believe that this precious connection to this earth element is great for protection, healing, grounding, calming and even feeling energized, but first we should make sure that is clean, especially when we don’t know exactly where it came from.

Green cities

Green buildings in big cities are a big booster of wood element energy, in the midst of so many constructions, they appear as a breath of fresh air where pollution and noise take over.

Rethinking how cities should look in the future is a crucial part of human development, in this way we can improve air quality, reduce heat and carbon emissions and bring a greener environment for all of us.

Perhaps one day this type of construction will become commonplace, but for now, even though they are few, green buildings are certainly unique and inspiring.
