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.

How to achieve a peaceful atmosphere in the bedroom?

For the practice of Feng Shui, the room where we sleep is one of the most important rooms in terms of our well-being and harmony.

All living beings absorb energy (Chi) while they sleep, which means that in the space where we rest, the quality of that environment will naturally influence our sleep and our health.

A room full of trash, dirt and dark, gaudy colors will contaminate the overall energy of any space, which in turn will affect its inhabitants.

A hotel room usually invites a good night’s sleep even if it’s just for a few days, a clean environment with white sheets and soft colors makes a difference, especially when we’re away from home and many of us might even feel out of place.

So why not transform the bedroom with a touch of hotel vibe, as if we were going to receive someone important to us, but in this case the guest is really you, the most important person in your life.

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.
