Addressing the Five Elements with Art work Does That Count?

Addressing the Five Elements with Art work: Does that count?

Spending time inside could be causing you to miss out on important benefits linked to connecting with the natural environment. With out even looking into studies you can feel the difference in yourself when you "play" outside or do outing activities. Our would is Nature and Nature is use, we are inter-connected no matter how you look at it, weather it be from philosophical or scientific views.

There are so many benefits to allowing "the outside in" to your home and office. One of the Feng Shui Methods of practice Feng Shui Consultants implement is known as the Five elements. The five Elements are Metal, Water, Wood, Fire and Earth.

Ways you can enjoy Nature in a rural or industrial area is by visiting local parks, beaches, or even creating a simple garden in the front or back areas of your home. These places can offer a peace of mind, a place to meditate and become centered or just to have fun.

You can use this concept even when traveling by plane, bus or car as well. Be aware of your surroundings. For example, you may notice something beautiful while traveling to Vermont or down south, perhaps a pattern of clouds that help your mind escape. Maybe you take awareness in the way shadows are cast along the mountain sides or even the playful behavior of animals in the wilderness.

If you are not in an home or work environment that offers these benefits of being surrounded by nature, there are other ways you can address that. Your Feng Shui consultant will offer a variety of methods and suggestions with how to fulfill each change utilizing Feng Shui. It all comes down to experience, the perspective and intentions of you and your consultant and results.

Sometimes clients of Laura Cerrano and Carole Provenzlae owners of Feng Shui Long Island NY and NYC may find they do not have enough efficient room to place certain literal Elements in their proper location. For this reason they must be practical, functional and creative with how to address the situation.

One solution is by introducing art work that helps to enhance the Five elements. Some will say this solution does not count because it is not the actual "natural" element. Again, this is not to say who is right or wrong, it all depends on the view of your Feng Shui consultant. Laura Cerrano is not just a NYC Feng Shui consultant: she is also a Feng Shui Artist.

By understanding the process of how artist materials are made, in her eyes allows acceptance to art work being used as a way to address the Five Elements or any Feng Shui Principle. Certain paint pigments are literally pulled from the earth, which relates to the Earth Element. The intentions of why you are creating the art work is another way with how to address the Five Elements.

Are you just painting to paint? Or is there a deeper meaning (intention) behind the image, the use of color and the texture, this is what will separate the two. People are drawn to certain colors and images because they make them feel a certain way, that is the goal of Feng Shui Art work. The art work is used to complete an element or Feng Shui principle that may not be able to be addressed in the traditional way.
