The Five Elements
Traditional Chinese Medicine, which includes the practice of Feng Shui, uses five elements for balance. Wood (typically emerging growth in the Spring) fuels Fire, which adds to Earth when it turns to ash; this Earth contains Metal; Metal holds Water; and to complete the system Water nourishes plants/Wood. We use this in Feng Shui to recommend the best location for sleep/quiet activities such as sleep and active areas such as work.

Wood Color: Green: Directions: Southeast and East This is the element we most associate with Spring and emerging Yang. Trees and plants sprout beautiful green growth, and we know the end of winter is at hand.
