One of the basic principles of feng shui is the principle of five elements. The five elements in feng shui are Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water. These feng shui elements interact between themselves in certain ways, generally defined as the Productive and Destructive cycles. Each feng shui element is represented by a specific color, and color is the easiest way to use the five elements principle to bring more harmony into your space with feng shui.
Color correspondence of each the five feng shui elements:
WOOD : Green, Brown
FIRE : Red, Strong Yellow, Orange, Purple, Pink
EARTH : Light Yellow. Sandy/Earthy, Light Brown
METAL : White, Gray
WATER : Blue, Black
Imagine the five feng shui elements as they exist in nature, and see how they interact. See wood for an actual tree, water as a river or rain, earth as soil, etc.
Example, how does wood interact with fire? Well, it is obvious, fire burns the wood, so you know to avoid a fire element in a feng shui area of the bagua that needs the Wood element.
How these elemental forces generate and regulate energy (chi) in nature, and by extension, in the human body and mind:
