Knowing the meanings of Feng Shui Colors can literally change your life! It’s not a secret that color has a huge impact on our lives. First of all, from a Feng Shui perspective, it defines for us what exists and what doesn’t exist. Secondary, color can show the status of one’s health and fortune. Chinese doctors are able to diagnose a disease by reading the color of one’s face or one’s chi (vital energy). Thirdly, color awakens emotions. We feel happy and satisfied if the status of our chi matches the color of our clothes. Fourthly, color structures our behavior. We wear one set of colors for attending church and another one for going to a party.

In this article, I want to tell you about feng shui colors and their meanings from chi perspective. This aspect is extremely important because the understanding of the relationship between color and human chi can help you enrich your life. In other words, you can use colors to improve the state of your chi, and, thus to improve your life.

Here is a basic breakdown of feng shui colors meanings according to Master Lin Yun color theory (the founder and spiritual leader of Contemporary Black Sect Tantric Buddhism).

WHITE

According to Chinese ancient traditions, white color represents winter, a dead or dormant state. In Chinese culture, traditional mourners wear white robes to the funeral and the corpse is covered in a white sheet. That is why Chinese people avoid sleeping under a white blanket because they believe that this kind of sleep can turn into death.

RED

Red is considered a very auspicious color. It represents the warmth of fire, strength, happiness, and fame. Master Lin Yun says that red is like “a red sun rising from the East”. Red is one of the most powerful feng shui colors. We can call red an energy source and a stimulator. Using red color is a very powerful tool for expelling negative energy. Red is a cure for such problems like passivity, insensitivity, and selfishness. It also helps to increase patience, fame, wealth and compassion.

PURPLE

Purple is a very auspicious color. It is even luckier color than red. People with purple chi are powerful, rich and very fortunate. Using purple color will always help you to attract wealth in your life.

YELLOW

Yellow represents power. It gives patience, wisdom, and tolerance. Using yellow color will help you to solve such problems as cheating, lying, paranoia, and oversensitivity.

GREEN

Green is a color of hope, tranquility, and freshness. Since green is a color of the wood element, it also represents spring growth. Green indicates healthy chi. Green color will help you to be more flexible, to calm down, to solve such problems like abrasiveness, absentmindedness, rudeness. It will also help you to increase happiness, creativity, wealth, compassion, intelligence.

BLUE

Blue color has a dual meaning. On the one side, it is a color associated with wood. In this case, it can represent spring and new growth. On another side, blue is also a cold mourning color in Chinese culture. However, we can still use its positive qualities for increasing our happiness, patience, compassion, and intelligence.

BLACK

Black color has dual meaning – positive and negative. On the positive side, black gives us a feeling of depth. On the negative side, black represents a lack of hope, and it may make us feel unhappy or even depressed. However using black color will help you to solve such problems like inflexibility, abrasiveness, hot temper, paranoia, stubbornness, insensitivity, and selfishness. It can also help you to increase wealth, compassion, intelligence, and protection.

GRAY

Grey symbolizes a marriage of opposites: black and white. It represents balance, harmony and the resolution of conflict.

BROWN

Brown color symbolizes the depth and roots of wood. It gives us a feeling of stability and established impression. Using brown color will help you to solve such problems like lying and cheating, abrasiveness, paranoia, oversensitivity and also will help you to be more patient.

TAN

Tan color symbolizes a new successful beginning, fresh start, and new opportunities. Using this color will help you to start a new project successfully and also will increase your patience.

ORANGE

Orange is a mixture of red and yellow. Therefore it has all the positive and auspicious characteristics that red and yellow have. Orange color represents happiness and power. Using orange will help you to solve such problems as lying and cheating.

PINK

Pink represents love, romance, happiness, and joy. Using this color will help you to increase your attractiveness and feel happier.

PEACH

According to Master Lin Yun’s color theory, peach is a double-edged color. This color represents attraction and love. But this color has a positive effect only for single people. It makes them feel more attractive, sociable and helps to make lots of friends. But for married couples, it is a destructive color which leads to adultery, family fights, and divorce.

How to implement the knowledge of feng shui colors into your life?

Knowing feng shui colors and their meanings are very important when you choose your clothes, decorate your house or even choose your food. It is also very powerful to visualize different colors in your meditations. You can simply close your eyes and visualize different colors filling up your entire body. Don’t forget to say your intention – what’s the desired result you want to achieve with color visualization.

Bottom Line

Keep in mind that color influences your chi from morning till night. Every color of everything you see influences your thoughts, mood, temperament, behavior, mental activity, physical existence – in other words, your life. Therefore be mindful of what colors you choose to fill your life with!

Katya Ki

Abundance Haircuts is a little-known sutra that reveals the negative consequences of cutting your hair on the bad days and the incredible benefits of cutting it on the good days. Bad and good days for this sutra are based on the Tibetan Calendar. Dates of Abundance Haircuts are calculated according to extremely complex formulas by experienced Feng Shui Masters. Naturally, each year, depending on the stars and their position, these days change.

Most people in the Western world have never heard about abundance haircuts. While for Eastern people it’s not a new practice. In this article, I will share with you this powerful sutra and give you a special calendar for abundance haircuts in October 2021 with good and bad days for haircuts. Pay attention to what day you’re picking for your next hair salon appointment – only choose good days for abundance haircuts in October 2021.

Why Is Hair So Important?

Since ancient times, people have given hair and any manipulation of it a sacred meaning. It was thought, that through one’s hair people can connect with the Universe. Hair serves as “antennas” and “guides” between our world and the world of Heaven. And so far this knowledge has not lost its relevance. Hair connects us with Higher forces, cosmic energy, God, Higher consciousness. By connecting through the hair to the Cosmos, a person is fed by the energies of Abundance and Health.

Abundance Haircuts In October 2020 Image

There were many beliefs associated with hair, some of them have survived to the present day. For example: in any case, you should not get a haircut by yourself, as in this case there is a deformation of your energy field, which can lead to poor health. It is also not recommended to get a haircut on the days of a lunar or solar Eclipse: the hair can suffer, weaken, lose shine, and volume.

What Are “Abundance Haircuts”?

It has long been known that there are days when it is especially favorable to cut hair. Among these days there are days of “Abundance haircuts.”

Abundance haircuts are a special ritual to attract abundance flows into your life. It is good to say abundance affirmations and mantras on this day. So you will strengthen the ritual haircut and make it a more effective and efficient force.

On this day it would be beneficial to chant the Lakshmi mantra:

OM HREEM SHREEM LAKSHMI BYO NAMAHA

Or Ganesh mantra:

OM SHRI GANESHAYA NAMAHA

It is also very beneficial to say abundance affirmations like:

I deserve to be abundantly happy and healthy!
My abundance is constantly growing!
I always have money for everything I need!
Money comes to me easily and fast!
I’m grateful for my abundant life!

Feng Shui Quiz: What Sector Of Your House Is Ruining Your Life?

Published

Katya Ki

Feng Shui is an ancient art of living in harmony with the surrounding world. It uses different tools and techniques for creating a harmonious and peaceful space in your house. After studying the art of Feng Shui for over 20 years, I’m still discovering new knowledge, practices, and techniques. Therefore, once you start your Feng Shui journey it’s never going to be over, you’ll never be able to say “I know everything about this art”. Feng Shui is multidimensional, and each dimension requires lots of hours of studying, practicing, and analyzing. In our busy world, not everyone has so much time, energy, and focus to study Feng Shui properly. I receive lots of questions from the readers about the tips I give in the articles. However, it’s not always easy to answer these questions, because I simply don’t know the specifics of your house – what colors you choose for your interior design, where specific objects (like mirrors, fireplaces, bathrooms, etc.) are located, and many other things that would let me analyze your living space. Therefore, I came up with a Feng Shui Quiz that any of you can use to analyze the Feng Shui of your house.

I tried my best to make this Feng Shui Quiz simple enough so that even beginners can use it. This quiz contains 20 questions that will help you analyze your living space. After completing the quiz, you will be given the results – which sector of your house is afflicted by bad Feng Shui and quick tips on how to fix it.

Some of the questions are based on the Bagua map of your house (you can read about it here). If, for some reason, you don’t have a blueprint of your house for creating a Bagua map, then try to use a compass on your phone to approximately figure out where each sector is located. I promise that it’s not going to be difficult! Remember, I designed this quiz for beginners?
