The 5 Elements

Each element has its own strength, but it is when they connect that true harmony is born.

Each of them has a color, shape, and characteristic within the spaces we inhabit. Let's identify them:

There are several cycles of the elements, but here we are going to use basically two:

• Nutrient or growth cycle . The sequence of elements promotes the
  Birth of another element. It goes clockwise in the diagram below. It would be like the Mother-Son/Daughter relationship. When this happens, the spaces harmonize toward continuous growth.
• Reduction Cycle : It wears down the element we need to control, but without causing excessive damage. It's like a son/daughter-mother relationship.

Conclusion:

Understanding the five elements of Feng Shui—Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water—means understanding the invisible language that shapes harmony in our spaces. Each element represents a vital energy that, when balanced, enhances our well-being, our relationships, and our opportunities.
