Many people are aware of the fact that there is a Feng Shui color chart, which can be very useful at times, particularly when you are in a jam in finding a remedy for a major flaw in the building, such as a declining number of customers.

Myths Surrounding the Feng Shui Color Chart

Having a lucky coin is something that many people use in lieu of a rabbit’s foot or other symbol of good fortune. Granted, most of these symbols of luck are fairly trite and lacking a clear, motivating philosophy. Their origins date back to earth-based religions and the origins behind the symbols are lost unto all except the most ardent scholars of world religions.

West Absorbs East

In the western world, there is at least some minor, cursory understanding of eastern mysticism and philosophy. Granted, what people ‘know’ about eastern mysticism is usually an extremely abbreviated knowledge base. This is probably due in part to the western world’s reliance on having everything ‘yesterday.’

The Feng Shui bagua is basically a detailed map of the relationship between the different areas of your life and your home. You can apply the concept of the bagua to a room, or even your desk, if you want to.

The Different Guas

There are nine different guas in the Feng Shui bagua: wealth, family, self-understanding, fame, health and balance, career, relationships, children and creativity, and helpful friends and travel. While traditionally a bagua is in the shape of an octagon, for our purposes and to make it easier, most practitioners stretch out the corners to form a square so you have nine equal parts.

The top three squares contain in this order the wealth, fame and relationships baguas, the middle three contain family, health & balance, and children and creativity. Finally the last three squares have self-understanding, career, and helpful friends and travel. Each of these squares represents a different aspect or area of your life. Whatever is happening in an energetic sense in that area of your home will affect the corresponding part of your life.

Feng Shui (pronounced “fung shway”) is an ancient Chinese system of rules and beliefs. Literally, Feng Shui means “Wind Water.” It was developed to assist in designing villages and cities in compliance with natural and astrological laws so that man-made structures would be organic in their evolution. For thousands of years, the capital cities of China were designed nearly along the north-south axis in the Feng Shui approach to balance the cities with nature, the sun and the stars.

It was because of Feng Shui that the Chinese invented the compass, which turned into a benefit to the West that had nothing to do with home decorating.

Using Feng Shui design to improve your garden alongside using it to improve your living space is not something that many people would think of. Normally, when you think of the ancient Chinese art of placement of objects, or the concept of improving the flow of chi you think in terms of enclosed spaces such as your home or office. However, using Feng Shui design to improve your home and office spaces and not your outdoor spaces such as your garden can lead to an imbalance in the chi around your home.

Where to Begin

When you think of clutter, you think of the books on the stairs, or your child’s clothes on the bedroom floor, but a garden can have clutter as well in the form of unwanted weeds or bushes which are overgrown or need trimming, in addition to trash like old newspapers and candy wrappers. So, this is where you should begin when thinking of Feng Shui design and your garden. The first step is to pick up any trash that might be lying around, then pull up the weeds, which may be choking your plants.

Those familiar with Feng Shui know that this science has special colors associated to each of the eight areas a home is divided into by the Oriental system. Each Feng Shui color plays a major role in influencing the prosperity and luck of your life, has a different meaning and connotation. Let’s take a look at the colors of the rainbow from a Feng Shui perspective.

Red, Orange, Yellow

The warmer colors of the spectrum are good for creating energy. Red, in particular, as a Feng Shui color brings high energy and hence it is good to keep it in the drawing room, or other place where you need a high level of energy. This is definitely not a good color for the bedroom, however, unless you want insomnia. Orange as a Feng Shui color symbolizes revitalization, so it’s highly recommended for use in the kitchen and/or the children’s bedroom. The final warm Feng Shui color, yellow, symbolizes life; it also bring about vitality and a great deal of creativity
