Feng Shui – health
If we are often ill or recognize negative changes in our feelings or our mood, it’s worth to examine our home and wardrobe from the aspect of Feng Shui.
The effects that the five elements have on us may have impact on health life area also. Overdosing an element is just as bad as the lack of it. The basic essence of Feng Shui is making and keeping balance. For example, the lack of water element can cause lightheadedness and excessive presence of it can cause emotional insecurity. Naturally every color is originated to one of the elements, so using too much of them or on the contrary, lack of them can cause health symptoms. For example, the lack of red may cause skin dryness, too much of it may cause impatience or fury. We can treat the shortage with the colors, shapes, materials of the element or with the proper element of the Feng Shui’s productive cycle. We can balance the overdosing (if there is no possibility to remove a part of it) with the proper element of Feng Shui’s exhaustive or destructive cycle. For example, in the case of lack of metal we could help with black-and-white patterns and can hold in it with the help of fire and water elements. Since the life areas of the Bagua map are connected with one of the elements, the partial or whole lack of them can reveal themselves this way also.
Jin and Jang have influence on our life too. Commonly everybody has features of both of them. However, if it is out of balance somehow, this could have negative health effects. For example, excessive Jin might cause moist skin, depression, excessive Jang might result in stress, constipation. Therefore, pay attention to clothing also (colors, patterns, fabrics).
It’s worthy to pay attention to other things which affect to our health also, out of the theme of Feng Shui. This is the quantity of swallet, geomagnetic radiation and electro smog. Have them measured if possible, especially if we are tense for a long time (without obvious reason), sleep badly, frequently have pain in a part of our body when wake up. The latter can be caused by visible beams going through above that part of the body. It’s worth to look after these before purchasing a new property.
There was about long-term effects. Ask for help of an interior designer who has massive bases in the area for space analysis of your home.

Feng Shui – career
Job and career are important for everybody, because these provide livelihood. We can strengthen this life area also with the help of Feng Shui, improving our quality of live.
The area attached to this in our home is the living room in the case of men and kitchen in the case of women, but the living room represents this category in general. These are connected to marks of Sun and Moon, namely mean the nature of paterfamilias and materfamilias. This is so if there is a single person or a couple without children.
Usually these aims have to be reached (without limitation) in a career:
– help of promotion
– starting own proposition
– help changing workplace
– achieving honorable mention at workplace
It is true in every Feng Shui advice that it has to be customized to the certain person and space, there are no two identical cases. Generally speaking, energizing effect of red color helps improving the best of things connected with money/career. However, you have to pay attention to the quantity, because too much of everything can do harm. Besides, the effect on a person is not a negligible since there are many who doesn’t like this color. In this case pink and strong orange could also help. Small changes can create big difference, you don’t have to think of changing the sofa to a red one or painting the whole room.
We can activate the Wealth/Success corner (4th) of Bagua map with red color also. It’s the best to place here all the things connected to job (home office or just a desk). Don’t forget to activate 9th life area (Fame/Reputation) with it also in this case.
The aim should be set out firmly, we have to draw it clearly to ourselves what we want to reach. Writing this on a paper is the best, as detailed as possible. For example: what should be the profile of the new company, what kind of colleagues to have, minimum salary, working time and some similar. Be grateful for what you have already achieved: present job, position, salary etc. (Sometimes it’s not easy…). Attitude depends only on us, nobody can be positive instead of us.
Everybody is the master of his/her destiny, so changes can be achieved by oneself. Feng Shui provides the toolbar, an interior designer who has massive bases in the area, provides a helping hand for this.
