For Feng Shui practitioners, we must pay special attention to this space if we are to achieve balance and harmony in our homes, and consequently in some aspects of our life.

According to this ancient system, the elements of water and fire converge in a very real way in the kitchen, hence its energetic strength, so let’s see:

🔥Fire- is represented by stoves, microwaves and ovens.

💧Water- is represented by the refrigerator, sink , washing machine or dishwasher.

As water and fire are opposite elements, they should not be together or face to face,
however, if this is not feasible, it would be good to place wooden objects between them, for example a wooden cutting board, adding tree element to harmonize the energetic flow.

In terms of decor, avoid lots of objects and colors and use also the other elements such as Earth and Metal, this way you will be avoiding unbalance of too much fire and water energy.

Feng Shui practice is also about applying different elements inside our spaces.

The wood or tree element, brings a vibrant energy of growth, new starts and expansion.

It is linked with the East and Southeast directions, and the use of wood with furniture or plants can enhance both areas, regarding good fortune for the family, prosperity and wealth.

This element is also the only that has life and has the capacity to expand and grow, that’s one of the reasons why is associated with the family and offspring.

So, it could be great to place healthy and vigorous plants in this areas, regarding always that they are not sharp and with no thorns ( remember to place cactus only outside the home), as well as strong wood furniture.

Avoid also dry and withered flowers in these corners, they could ruin the development of this great energy and cause a harmful environment.

Even when we are lucky to have a well balanced home, in terms of energy flow and with several Feng Shui practices, we should also pay attention to how much time we spend on it, especially at this challenging moment we are all facing.

Nature is our best helper in terms of balancing our inner energy, spending time outside can reboot our body and mind, something that sometimes not even our homes are able to give us, even if they are incredibly awesome.

Children are also very affected by this situation, spending too much time at home playing with electronic devices and consequently having social and behavior issues.

For most of us connecting with nature is something that automatically makes us feel better, especially if we know the best element for us to connect with.

For this reason, go out into the nature alone, with friends, with your family , and find out what makes you feel reinvigorated:

• A Tree element character goes well with wood, forests, trees, so surrounding yourself with this environment will enhance your well being;
• A Fire element person should stay in the sun for a while or close to a fire pit in order to energize its power;
• An Earth element person can walk in the mountains to achieve a better balance;
• A Metal element personality can walk in the earth’s depths, expeditions or climbing big rocks adding some radical excitement to this element;
• Finally a Water element person, will benefit obviously getting into the water, diving, surfing or swimming in the sea, rivers or lakes all year around not just in summer time.

Of course each of us need all the elements too, but if you are feeling more tired or unstable always search for your element in nature so that this energy can bring you back to a more balanced and healthy body and mind.

Ki Astrology is one of the great Feng Shui teachings and can really help us to discover a best version of ourselves.

Generally speaking and according to our date of birth calculation,each one of us belongs to one of the 5 elements of life [ Fire, Earth, Metal, Water, Wood ].
