What are the elements used in Feng Shui?
Feng shui uses the Five Element Theory to balance and harmonize environments. The elements used are: water, fire, earth, metal and water. Each element has a nourishing cycle … where one or more elements support or create another element. Each element also has a controlling or destructive cycle where one element diminishes or reduces another. When the elements are in balance, you have a harmonious environment. When one or more elements are out of balance, the imbalance manifests itself in a variety of ways. It might impact your health since each of our five major organ networks is controlled by one of the elements. It may also manifest itself through your personality, your emotional state, and the way you feel about things and the way you react to situations and people. The elements are represented through color, shape, texture, materials and life form. In feng shui, you always balance through the elements!
