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.
