Five elements- The metal
The metal
This element is firm, and steady, in every of its aspects, it served as the fundamental element of a skyscraper, or any other building; it is used in the industry ( cars, industrial machines are made mostly out of metal), in agriculture; ( farm machinery, cutting attachments, combine headers), in our homes, -as everyday items- like knives, pots and pans, and I could go on...The metal is a hard and heavy material, it comes mostly from beneath the earth. It is almost impossible to destroy this element, unless you heat it and melt it. As a Feng Shui Element, The metal, is strong, and firm, cold, heavy, and beautiful as all the other elements are.In order to live in harmony with nature, all five elements have to be present in your home in the right amount and in the right connection. Metal is just as important as the other four.Besides being just one of the five elements, metal symbolizes our careers, our business, our source of money if you like it better. I can’t tell you enough to pay attention to the lines I write for you, and act with wisdom and with a pure heart when practicing Feng Shui. Like I just wrote, all elements have to be present in the right amount, and here’s the point....
Most homes and apartments are painted white, white doors, white tiles in the kitchen, in the bathroom,maybe you also have some IKEA white furniture.... there you have it, a massive abundance of the metal element. If you don’t pay attention you might just read, how to incorporate metal element in your home, and do them all at once. Well, I need to say what an overflow of Energy that will bring into your Home. Make sure to control its power, but be careful, you don’t want to exclude this element from your life.
The metal element can be controlled with fire element, so if you feel like there’s too much white in a room, aim for the orange and red colored decoration, will not only add a pop of color and joy to your home, but will ensure the harmony between the elements to.
Incorporate the metal energy in your home or office, in case you need a fresh dynamic energy, or you feel frustrated, or low on your energies, also it can bring clarity into your life. If you starting a new business make sure you review this element, because it can help you to move to the next level. The presence of this element in your home will eliminate distractions and add a bit of sharpness to your life.

Metal is the forth element I’ve presented to you, in my next post I will write about the Earth as a Feng Shui Element, and with that the Five elements of Feng Shui will be all yours.
What you read and what you learn in your life, is forever yours, no one ever can take that away from you. Learning will allow you to make a change in the world, to educate yourself and your fellow humans is a great power and you have to use the power given to you.
Regardless of the distance between us( most of my readers are from USA, ) I give you the power, you just need to use it. You can change this chaotic world we live in, but you have to start with yourself, with your home. Educate your children, to respect and cherish our Planet , our Mother Nature, so they would have the chance to live a full life here on earth.You can do that by teaching them to live by the rules of Feng Shui, as the big secret of a happy and successful life is, to live in harmony with the nature surrounding you, and teaching the young generation, makes them strong to make a difference.
You are the change! 🕉
