Know Thyself

In order to manipulate the energy around us to support our goals, first we need to know ourselves. There are many charts that will help you to analyze your birth energy. As mentioned before you need to find your birth element and animal energy for the year, month, day, hour and location of your birth. Once you have discovered your dominant energy, you must factor in whether that energy is active or passive. If you understand your basic or core energy you will find it much easier to surround yourself with energy that will support you. This applies to your furniture, clothing, jewelry, colors, and yes, even relationships. There are particular shapes and colors and personality characteristics that support the person that you are and the person you hope to be. For example, if you find that your dominant element is “earth” you will tend to be cautious, methodical and logical. If you surround yourself with “earth” colors and “earth” shapes you are tipping the balance too far toward "earth" energy and you may become lethargic, and resistant to change. If, however, you add a little “fire” element, you will become more flexible without becoming reckless or headstrong. If you are predominantly “fire” energy adding some “earth” elements to your surroundings will lend stability and calm. Knowing ourselves is the key to maximizing our potential. Feng Shui provides one way to gain this important insight.
