“Use Feng Shui to increase your stability and security!:
The year of the yin metal ox is foremost a stabilizing energy which is most welcome after an erratic energy year. The ox is the strongest of will and a lifter of morale. The energy of 2021 will create the opportunity to repair and rebuild faith, trust and security in yourself and others. Use these feng shui strategies to stabilize and ground your environment. Take advantage of the metal ox energy to enhance your experience of 2021.
Clear your clutter, as this is main cause of scattered and stuck energy. If you haven’t used something for at least one year, then it’s time to find a new home for this item.
Earth is the element which harnesses the energies of stability and security. Various materials and colors can be used to promote the element of earth such as tile, terracotta, pottery, rocks and décor. Yellow is the representative color of the earth element.
The shape of the wood element is square. Adding furniture and accessories in this shape helps to increase earth energy in a space.
Too much of anything can be a problem, so balance the amounts of earth element in your home with wood items such as picture frames, furniture and other accessories.
Rid your personal space of anything toxic—people, chemicals, food or thoughts. This will renew and refresh your spirit beyond what you could imagine.
