In Feng Shui, when we prescribe a colour remedy it is just that a remedy, a cure. Each of the five elements has a connection with a colour. When we connect back to Chinese medicine we also can connect these colours with an organ/ meridian. It is possible to adjust the energies by using a colour in your home/ business or wear it to balance the energy.

HISTORY
Feng Shui is an environmental science with simple

origins. It is based on the interpretation of the natural world enabling the Chinese to create efficient agricultural systems. They also studied the movement of heavenly bodies to determine the passage of time. This interpretation grew more complex over the centuries & it became removed from its original purpose. Beliefs, custom, folklore & superstition sought to alter this ancient art but, the Chinese preserved the information in written form.

together in order to create energy. Yin and yang represent these two forces each attempting to gain dominance. Where one achieves dominance an imbalance occurs. Yin and Yang are opposing but interdependent concepts- without the idea of cold we would not be able to describe heat The aim is to achieve balance.

Qi is the life force of all animate things, the quality of environments, the power of the sun, the moon & the weather systems & the driving force in all human beings. The purpose of Feng Shui is to create environments in which Qi flows smoothly to achieve physical & mental health. Where Qi flows gently through a house, the occupants will be positive & will have an easy passage through life. Where Qi flows sluggishly or becomes stuck, then the chances are that problems will occur in the day to day life or long term prospects of those living there.

The generating force behind all things

THE THREE LUCKS

The five elements were developed by ancient chinese scholars as a result of their observation of nature. They noticed everythjing happens in cycles, including the seasons, weather patterns, moon phases, day & night and human life. It is for this reason that the five elements are also referred to as the five phases. In essence the five elements represent a model of the universe which is cyclical, and yet forever changing. Everything on our planet can be explained using this model, including the seasonal changes
