Energy Of the Earth Element

The earth element resides both in the southwestern corner of knowledge and self-cultivation, and in a line completely across the Bagua, in the northeastern corner that represents marriage and partnership. Earth, which is known as the nourishing energy, brings family harmony and happiness with it. The very fine energy it possesses will help you find calming balance when there is an abundance of change going on in you life. There is a certain stability you can expect from the earth energy as it maintains a form of even control over even the most difficult of times.

Natural colors of the earth element include yellow, tans, and beige. Various browns, gold’s, and rust’s can also be considered as key colors as well, though they are not as commonly used. The Chinese consider yellow a fortunate color, as it represents royalty and wisdom. You will want to use this color in moderation though, as it could quickly take over and unbalance your area with too much of the fire element. A correct balance of earth’s energy by using natural colors prevents the overpowering strength of fire energy from taking over. Too much fire energy will destroy opportunities achieved through promoting earths luck. It’s possible to evoke positive earth energy by painting the walls of these directions with one of the natural earth colors, thereby bringing good chi to both your knowledge area and your marriage/partnership area.

Using precious stones of yellow topaz, opal, cat’s eye, or citrine can increase your earth luck. Wear them or display them to summon chi energy. Displaying pictures or paintings, either in the N.E. or S.W. direction, whose subject material is that of mountains, meadows, deserts or landscapes will also increase your good fortune. Squares and rectangles, which are the shapes that signify earth energy, could be used in earth tone colors to represent abstract art forms.  Items of crystal, marble or pottery are good choices to raise the element of earth energy. Hang shining glass or crystal chandeliers to shed good light, bringing about splendid luck and joy to your family. Be aware, though, that too much earth energy will slow you down and cause lack of ambition.  If you become concerned that this may be happening, add wooden elements to strengthen the way out of the low energy being caused by the abundance of earth influence.

Enhancement with stable earth energy is an excellent tool to use when the plan is to increase your need for knowledge and also when your marriage or partnership could use soothing.
