Colour Code - Feng Shui Guide

Clothes wear us, we don’t wear them. As clothing is our second skin, it is the potential colour source that’s closest to our body and acts as the main channel for carrying colour energy to the body. One of the most effective ways to bring about positive, emotional and behavioural change is with the colour of our clothes. In this context, Feng Shui works on five elements — Water, Wood, Fire, Earth and Metal.

By using Feng shui principles in your dress, you can start each morning focusing on your goals, targets and intentions. Suppose, you put on your green shirt or handkerchief (which signifies the wood element), you can be assured of professional success. 

Here are some colours decoded in Feng shui:  

Green: Wear to kickstart new projects successfully. It’s also the colour for creativity. 
Pink: A soft romantic colour. It makes the person concentrate more on the feminine aspect of life.
Blue: Soothes and relaxes and brings attention to needs of the individual. 
Brown: Wear to feel grounded and secure. 
Black/Dark Blue: Wearing this colour enhances communication. You must have noticed that most of the CEOs wear black or dark blue.
Red: Wear if you want to get noticed, enhance luck, or feel strong, confident and happy. 
Yellow: Wear for increased self esteem and mental clarity. The hue also signifies cleanliness and helps one focus on the intellect.

Type of clothing  affects how you feel and behave. If you are wearing formals or a suit, you won’t be able to flop down on a sofa the way you would if you were wearing jeans and a T-shirt. Floppy clothes and longer lengths make you feel relaxed and undisciplined. It is not by chance that we wear casual clothes on the weekend when we are little relaxed.

If you want to make a lot of money and be more organised wear formals. When we are dressed this way our body movements becomes more controlled, upright and efficient, which in turns makes our mind more alert and efficient like the most top heads of the business houses the world over.

The Most Influential Stone of the Millenium - Feng Shui

Feng Shui, (pronounced fung shway) which translates to "the wind and the water," is the Chinese art of correct placement. Practitioners believe that by arranging our furnishings and decor in a way that aligns with nature, we draw harmony and good health into our lives. According to this ancient philosophy, the placement of everything from the front door to the toilet plays in our overall well being. The Chinese actually employ a Feng Shui master before building or buying a home or business. Most Feng Shui experts stress the use of aesthetics and common sense in achieving the desired results.

Each different Feng Shui color found in Ammolite
has positive effects on the body and spirit.

It is believed the best combination is ruby crimson, emerald green and amber yellow because it represents growth and richness.

Experts within the feng shui circle have recognized the significant properties of the ammolite gemstone in their practice. This gemstone promotes the flow of “Qi” (pronounced chi) throughout the body, enhancing well-being and reducing the body’s toxicity. Ammolite’s rich colours stimulate creativity, energy, wisdom, intellect and wealth. Not only does it bring balance to a person’s body, but also to a person’s surroundings. When the stone is placed in the home, it promotes a happy family, and when it is placed in the office, it promotes good business dealings. In essence, anyone who finds or possesses ammolite is entitled to wondrous prosperity and fortune.

Ammolite is derived from the ammonite fossil. Just the right combination of heat and pressure created this geological phenomenon. It has been buried for the past 71 million years absorbing a substantial amount of both the Earth’s and the universe’s positive cosmic energy. It radiates this energy in every colour of the visible spectrum. Many feng shui experts believe that all matter is energy or qi. One form of this qi is light energy. Our brain interprets light energy as colour, so these colours are specific wavelengths of energy that can be used to balance our qi.

The multiple layers of colour inside the stone are what creates the sparkling radiance. By examining the stone, one will see the seeds of seven distinct colours: ruby crimson, fiery orange, amber yellow, emerald green, jade, azure and mauve. Hence, some feng shui masters have named it the “Seven Colour Prosperity Stone”. Each colour represents a different meaning. For example, crimson stimulates growth and energy; orange generates creativity, and increased libido; green improves wisdom, intellect and promotes entreprenerialship; yellow improves wealth; and blue promotes peace and health.
