So far I have been talking about space. But the other major factor in our lives and in Feng Shui is time. We have just finished with a twenty year time cycle in 2004. The energy of that cycle was metal and all we have to do is look at the violence, greed and the focus on wealth accumulation to see the imbalance of that time. The present cycle's predominant energy is earth and youth. Young people all over the world are now being seen to exert their influence. With the element of earth helping to ground them hopefully they can avoid violence while maintaining their passion for change.
The seasonal time changes also influence the energy in our daily lives. We are now moving from summer, a period of yang or high energy to a more yin or low energy time. And as the energy changes around us it is prudent to re-energize and refresh the energies in our homes and work spaces. As we move away from the fire element that rules the summer season, we can retain some of that light and heat by adding bright colors, reds and yellows, use higher watt lighting, add warm quilts and clear clutter to keep the energy flowing to mitigate this shift to a more stagnant energy. To make the best use of your time and energy up-date your Feng Shui.When we intentionally align ourselves with the natural cycles of time we create more harmony and balance in our lives.
