HEALTH
& THE FIVE ELEMENTS
Feng Shui Notes - March 2006
Changes in
health, such as a new problem or worsening symptoms of a preexisting condition,
after moving into a new home or beginning to work in a different building
are a tip off that something may be amiss with the Feng Shui.
In past newsletters we’ve talked about health as it relates to various
areas of the Bagua.* It is also important
to consider is the Five Element balance of a space.
The Five Elements are wood, fire, earth, metal, and water. Each element
relates to a body organ along with certain health conditions that are
associated with that element.
If you are working with a public space, it’s best to make sure that
all of the elements are represented and in balance. However, if you are
working with a more personal space, such as your home or a small office,
it’s important to consider the individual qualities and health issues
of the occupants, and make adjustments based on each person’s needs.
A few of the common health concerns related the elements are:
• Problems with the liver, headaches, or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome,
may indicate that the Wood element is out of balance.
• Frequent fevers, laryngitis, or heart disease can be connected
to an imbalance of Fire.
• When Earth is out of balance, you may be bothered with stomach
or digestive problems, issues with the female organs, or an eating disorder.
• Water element imbalances can lead to kidney issues, dental problems,
or trouble with the bones.
• Difficulties with the lungs, breathing, asthma, airborne allergies,
or problems with the throat are often associated with an imbalance of
the Metal element.
An obvious way to correct an elemental problem is to either add or subtract
the element itself or to use something that symbolizes the element. For
example, if the water element is low or missing, you could add actual
water in the form of a fountain. You could also add a statue of a water
animal or the color black to represent water. To reduce the amount of
water in an area, you could remove any item related to the water element.
In future newsletters, we will cover the use of the creative, reducing,
and destructive cycles as a way of balancing the elements.
If you are interested in going into more depth on the connection between
Feng Shui and health, we will be going into more detail in the one day
Feng Shui & Health workshop offered on April 15th. See class information

Healthy blessings!
