If you are thinking about adding some feng shui elements to your home, you might have heard some people talk about feng shui candles. What exactly are feng shui candles and what are they for? How should they be used and are there certain places where using them is not real feng shui? Most feng shui candles don't come with instructions so it can be confusing knowing exactly how they should be used in your home.
The Five Elements and Feng Shui Candles
The five natural elements are wood, metal, water, earth, and fire. The teachings of feng shui say that all rooms of your home should have a balance using these elements. Do you know what this means?
To put it simply, different elements are able to feed or destroy each other. Wood can feed fire but water destroys fire. Earth can feed wood but metal destroys it. Feng shui does not teach about destruction but it does teach about balance. If you have a room that has strong earth elements, for example, such as the warm tones of your bedroom or living room, you might want to introduce the element of fire to bring some balance. This is where feng shui candles are used. Obviously you don't have a fireplace in every room and you can't set up a bonfire indoors but candles are affordable, small and safe.
How Feng Shui Candles Affect Energy
Additionally, fire is an element that represents strong energy and vitality, and any room or corner of your home that needs this energy can benefit from this element. For example, many couples who are needing to add some spice or energy to their love life are encouraged to introduce feng shui candles to the bedroom. The fire is an encouragement to have that energy and revitalization. Of course, you do need to exercise safety precautions and be sure to extinguish those candles before going to sleep!
Feng shui candles are not limited to any certain room. They can be used in the dining room, the family room, or any other room of your home. Try using them to eat dinner by instead of the overhead lights and see how energized your children become. They will be more talkative than normal.
Where Do Feng Shui Candles Not Belong
Fire is a very strong element and for this reason you need to be careful not to go overboard using it. If you have a big fireplace in your house, you probably already have enough of the fire element. Don't line your mantelpiece with candles in this instance because this will be overdoing it. Keep the feng shui candles for another place in your home, far enough away from the fireplace not to compete.
You do need to exercise caution when using feng shui candles, the same as when using regular candles. Don't leave them unattended. Don't use them in children's rooms and don't have them where pets can knock them over.
If you apply these principles to your use of feng shui candles, you will soon begin to enjoy the vitality and energy that they bring to your life and your home.
