No matter what colors you have in your office, home or in what you wear, they probably are serving a Feng Shui purpose. From blues to white, purple and red, the colors you use are serving to attract certain energies into your life, whether you like it or not. Color can enhance your communication skills in business and relationships as well as enhance your learning abilities. By taking some time to learn which colors are helping you, you can begin to adjust your home’s design and see instant benefits.
Blue and Feng Shui
Many people use the color blue in their homes as they feel it has a soothing, almost watery feeling to it. And according to Feng Shui, this is correct. Using blue in your home will help to encourage calm and serenity. But many people also feel that using blue encourages those who walk in the door to trust you and to feel at ease with you. This might be a good color to bring into your office as a result, as well. The color blue will also enhance communication. Blue is great to use in your bedroom for more communication in your relationship. Also, wearing a blue suit or shirt will help you in communicating your message.
White and Feng Shui
Though some people like to avoid the color white, it certainly has Feng Shui applications. White is a color that appeals to the idea of purity and innocence. This is a color (or lack of color, depending on how you look at it) that allows you to feel confident as well as laid back. Since this is a color that goes with any other color, it can help to accentuate the other colors you’ve chosen to include in your home, intensifying their affect on your life.
To much of the color white in your home will keep people from staying long because the color while repels and pushed away.
Purple and Feng Shui
Feng Shui has always enjoyed using purple in decorating schemes as it is a rich and vibrant color with many hues and shades. The color purple is associated with royalty and with the idea of spiritual growth. When you bring more purple into your home, you will find you can more easily connect to the sense of spirit that you may feel you’ve been missing.
Yellow and Feng Shui
If you want to boost your learning abilities and energy yellow is the color to use. Yellow will also create a happy cheerful environment. Great for using in the kitchen and where you read, learn or study.
Orange and Feng Shui
Orange is a very earthy color removes fear and anger. The red rocks of Sedona are actually orange. Most people are unaware that the reason they feel so good when they are here and continue to return is because the fear and anger that causes most of their stress is relieved when they visit.
No matter what colors you choose to add to your office or home, each has its own Feng Shui purpose. Take some time to think about what each color means to you and then add it to the room where you feel it will have the most impact.
