Fire and Feng Shui – 9 Ways

Fire and Feng Shui – 9 Ways to use the element of Joy Happiness and Success

Two elements play a central role in Feng Shui: fire and water. The importance of water has been covered at length, but the element of fire is often overlooked when it should not be. Fire is an essential element. It keeps us warm and cooks our food.

As we all know, fire can also cause serious damage, such as: B. a house burning down or a raging wildfire.

But fire brings many benefits, especially in Feng Shui and Asian thinking. The color of fire is red and the color red activates, effectively turning on the power wherever it is used or placed. Proper use can bring material rewards, recognition, fame, joy and happiness. What’s not to love about fire?

9 Feng Shui Ways to Use the Fire Element for Success and Luck

1. Come on, get happy.

Water is the element of wealth but its negative side is that water represents fear. Fire is the element of luck, pure and simple, and red is the color of fire. When you are feeling down, use red colours to lift your spirits. Just think of all the red lanterns and red envelopes that the Chinese use for New Year and the festive look they have.

Red is an activator, so if you’re feeling stuck, stagnant or worrying too much, bring some red color into your home. Use red decorations for all happy occasions – or just when you want to feel happy.

2. Let your love life run at full speed.

Whether you’re single or in a relationship, fire can revitalise your relationship when it has cooled, or heat up a new one. Activate the southwest love sector with beautiful crystals and bright lights. Keep this area brightly lit if you are looking for love.

A chandelier is one of the best ways to activate your southwest corner. Add a red shaded candle or lamp in the bedroom to illuminate your love happiness. Activating this corner also helps to deepen love relationships. Singles should often wear red.

3. Activate your fame and recognition luck.

The southern corner is the corner of social happiness, which includes fame and recognition. Give that corner a boost with lighting in that location unless the 5 Yellow is visiting, so heed the flame and lighting warnings in the corner when the 5 Yellow is there.

One of the best ways to spice up your luck of fame is with garden lighting. Lighting that comes out of the ground and is aimed at the house is particularly powerful. Let a bright light shine in the living room here.

To greatly increase your fame and recognition, create a candle garden with nine red votive candles and place them in the south corner of your living room. Light them up once a day and be careful not to leave them unattended.

They don’t have to burn for long, but burn them once a day. This is a good ritual for the new moon. Don’t forget to increase Glory Luck by wearing red often.

4. Burn money and health problems with fire.

If you have a bathroom or toilet that affects your health (east) and wealth luck (north, south-east), just put some red items in the bathroom, e.g. B. a red candle. The fire energy will help ease the pressure of the bathroom on your health and prosperity happiness. Carry a red handbag and wallet to bolster your finances.

5. Revitalise your home and rekindle the lucky chi.

If you ever feel like your home is lifeless and stagnant, put the jumper wires on it by adding lots of lighting. Still, dead energy will only get worse over time. Lighting is one of the easiest ways to kickstart your home.

Provide light in every room for at least three hours a day to reactivate your home. This is a great way to push the chi of your home, especially when you’re looking to do something new or just need to break through that stuck feeling.

6. Red fire energy burns through anger.

When you are angry or dealing with angry people, wear red. Anger is symbolized by wood and the red color will help you elope with angry or difficult people.

If there is anger and harsh words in the house, check where the 3 jade star of anger is and add red there. In 2021 it is in the southwest, and in 2022 it is moving east and in 2023 it is southeast.

7. Fire slightly corrects problem areas.

Fire and Lighting are excellent tools to counter poison darts or missing corners. A light pole reflecting back into the corner of the neighbouring house or another sharp object like a tree or pole will help dissipate the poison darts’ energy.

If you have a missing corner, anchor a light post where the corner would be completed. This is a symbolic representation of the missing sector.

8. Stimulate your thinking with red.

Everyone feels a little boring from time to time. Get your head in the game with red colours, lighting or candles in the northeast corner, the corner of thinking and making clear decisions.

You can do this by lighting a candle here, adding some incense sticks or bright lights or red items. This is also a great corner to activate if you are a writer, a student or have children who are still at school and will help all those intellectual pursuits.

9. Use the power of 9 to envision your life differently.

The number related to fire and red colours is the number 9. If you need to change something, move nine images in your home.

The eye is the part of the body related to the fire element and the number 9. Sometimes we need to “see” things differently and by moving nine pictures or pictures on the wall it forces you to see things in new ways.

Fengshui: Couples beware of the #4

Couples beware of the dark side of the # 4

On February 4, 2023, the #4 Star will fly to the center of Lo Shu Square to become the “dominant” star for the next 12 months. This is an important point because the dominant star affects everyone’s happiness, affecting not only every area of every home, office and retail space, but every part of the world.

It is also the star of academic achievement and literary excellence, fostering creative thinking and helping to manifest academic success for certain who successfully harness its mind-expanding vibrations

ALSO NEED TO ELIMINATE THE NEGATIVE ASPECTS OF 4

However, when we activate a star for luck, we must be careful not to overdo it, otherwise we could trigger any negative emanations that may be present.

In the case of #4, these come in the form of relationship issues such as infidelity, betrayal, and heartbreak. The Paht Chee chart of 2023 agrees, with the appearance of the Mountain Marriage Star adding to the challenges ahead. It is therefore extremely important for married and dating couples to be proactive when it comes to protecting your union from all forms of outside temptation.

Feng Shui and the entrance door

Take care of the Feng Shui of your Entrance Door

Main doors should open inward into a wider space rather than opening into a cramped narrow space.  You should also have an open space (bright hall) outside the main door.

Cures:

If the door opens outward, change the position of the hinges so that it opens inward.

If the foyer is small and tiny, hang a bright light over the door and leave it on for at least three hours each day.

You can use a mirror to visually enlarge the foyer, but don’t hang it right in front of the door. Instead, position it against a side wall.

 

What should my door be made of?
Solid doors are preferable to glass doors. The front door should always be solid and made of wood or some other strong, durable material. Clear or opaque glass doors suggest fragility and offer no protection to the home and family living there.

Is my front door the right size?
The front door should never be too big or too small in relation to the house as a whole, and it should be the most beautiful entrance to your home. A door that is too small does not let happiness in. The door should be at least high enough for the tallest member of the household to easily walk through. If the door is too big, this portends that all happiness will be lost.

Beware of poison arrows:

There are many different structures that can damage the front door, both inside and outside. Stand by your main door and look outside for the following: triangular roofline from opposite neighbour, edge of another building, steps leading up or down, lamppost, graveyard, hospital, high-rise tower, church spire.

Now change your position and stand by the main door and look inside the house. Look for a staircase opposite the main door, a pillar, a spiral staircase, a wall mirror or edge of a wall, a toilet door or kitchen door, or a long straight corridor or hallway.

How can you upgrade your front door?

Hang a painting with an auspicious theme (like 100 birds) to reinforce the auspicious energy here.

Place lucky plants on either side of the main door to increase yang energy and attract lucky chi.

Display a pair of Fu dogs flanking either side to protect you from negative harm to your home.

Display a lucky symbol next to your front door to activate good chi energy. You can place three coins tied together with a red string under a rug just inside the main door entryway.

Having an altar opposite the main door is considered auspicious.

Take the time today to inspect your front door and make any necessary changes to fix any existing problems.

 

Feng Shui and the advantage of clutter

What brings you to a clean, organised home?

Feng Shui and the crystals

Feng Shui and the most popular Crystals

Crystals have long been said to have mystical properties. Certain crystals and stones have long been associated with healing abilities, the ability to focus thought or intent, or even transmutation. And this is no longer a question of faith.

We know scientifically that crystals, especially silicon crystals, are the main reason for faster and faster processing speeds in computers.

But there are other stones and crystals in Feng Shui that have different applications and uses to create beneficial energy to clear your thoughts!

Jade

Jade is both a crystal formation and a valuable gemstone due to its high value. Coloration can range from white to yellow to deep green. The greater the light transmittance, the greater the value of the jade. Jade is worn in amulets, pendants and bracelets.

A common way to wear jade is as a bangle. Jade is believed to purify the blood and promote good health and longevity. Jade is a multipurpose stone and a symbol of growth, wealth and prosperity. When shopping, remember that real jade will always feel cool or cold against the skin.

Quartz crystal

Clear quartz crystal has so many uses in Feng Shui. From using it to stimulate thought to creating harmonious relationships, quartz is versatile. Crystal points are often used to create clear thoughts and improve thinking ability.

Students often wear quartz points to help them do well on tests.

Quartz crystal is often fashioned into faceted crystals, smooth crystal balls, jewellery and chandeliers. When light is directed onto the crystal, it amplifies the faceted crystal by casting prisms of coloured light. Considered to be particularly auspicious and beneficial, this rainbow light can help an unloved person feel loved by bathing in the emitted coolers.

Citrine

Beautiful and lemon yellow, citrine is the color of the store. It represents the earth element with its yellow color. Due to its golden hue, citrine is said to attract wealth and prosperity. Someone involved in sales or business – or just looking to climb the ladder of success would benefit from a Citrine crystal on their desk.
