How to decorate your home or workplace using the Five elements
I love to have fun with each sector by using an array of colours, materials, imagery and patterns that are personal to me but aligned to the energies that are present.
For the annual stars, I find it easier to keep the overall colour scheme neutral, instead adding pops of colour in decorative features such as cures, cushions or ornamental decor.
A perfect balance of wood and fire to enhance the 9# on the above floor plan would be a healthy green plant inside a bright orange pot or a green cedarwood candle to be burnt for a couple of hours each day.
The most important thing to remember is that important areas should remain clean, open and free from clutter.
This will allow energy to enter and circulate around the whole building, preventing it from stagnating and turning stale. This is especially important in our entrance areas, the windows and doors, as these are the main areas chi will enter.
Most days, and usually in the evening once my little boy has gone to bed, I burn essential oils. Not only does this help with relaxation, but it clears and cleanses negative energy; I’ll normally circulate which oils I use, although my main one is the Space clearing Essential Oil, as we designed this blend for this purpose. The same concept can be used with sound- a singing bowl, windchime, or simply clapping your hands can do wonders for stagnant energy.
