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!

Published

December 26, 2019

Katya Ki

Abundance Haircuts is a little-known sutra which reveals negative consequences of cutting your hair on the bad days and 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. Today I would like to introduce this Abundance haircut sutra and give you a special calendar for January with good and bad days for your haircuts. Pay attention to what day you’re picking for your next hair salon appointment – only choose good haircut days!

Why Is Hair So Important?

Since ancient times, people gave hair and any manipulation with them sacred meaning. It was thought, that through 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.

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

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

OM HREEM SHREEM LAKSHMI BYO NAMAHA

Or Ganesh mantra:

OM SHRI GANESHAYA NAMAHA

It is also very beneficial to say positive 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!

The Bottom Line

In the day of Abundance haircut is not necessarily radically change the hairstyle or cut long braids. It’s just enough to trim the tips. If you believe and surrender to this process with sincerity, good mood, and gratitude, the energy of cosmic abundance will surely enter your life. Take the chance to open your channel to the limitless flow of abundance!

Abundance Affirmations: A Powerful Tool For Creating Abundant Living

Published

Katya Ki

What we say and think shapes our reality and affects the quality of our life. When we repeat the same thought-form multiple times it gets concentrated into a powerful force of intention. Therefore, affirmations are one of the most effective tools for manifesting your desired life. In this article, I will share with you my collection of the most powerful and effective abundance affirmations that can significantly change the quality of your life for better. The key is to be consistent with your practice since the reprogramming of the subconscious mind takes time and patience.

What Is Abundance?

So, what is abundance? Money? Successful business? Love? A large circle of friends? A big and happy family? Each of us has his/her own understanding of abundance. But its essential meaning is that you are solidly happy with who you are and no external event or situation – whether good or bad – can add or subtract from that happiness.

Our perspective about the world we live in is also very subjective. Some people believe that the world is a cruel place where only the strongest survive therefore their life looks like a constant fight for survival. But there are others who believe that the world is a wonderful abundant place where everything is enough for everyone. These people believe that all you need to do is to learn how to distribute endless benefits of the Universe and remember to notice the abundance in everything! Interestingly, in both cases, people find confirmation of their own beliefs.

Reality is subjective because it depends on the thought forms that influence our minds. It is our thoughts that shape our reality. And if you believe that life is a constant fight for survival you will find plenty of evidence that proves this, since your thoughts make life this way. Oppositely, if you believe that life is abundant you’re making it this way with your thoughts. Therefore, you will find lots of confirmation of your own beliefs. This is how we all can co-exist in the same world but see it from different angles.

Whether you believe in the abundance that surrounds us or not, the Universe always says “yes” to you and supports your beliefs.

How Do Abundance Affirmations Work?

Affirmations are positive statements that program your subconscious mind to fulfill all your desires. In accordance with this program, joyful and happy desired events will gradually enter into your life.

Most people can’t even imagine how effective affirmations are! Affirmations are your main key to reprogramming your consciousness. That’s why the trick is to keep repeating them again and again until they are firmly imprinted in your subconscious.

With the help of abundance affirmations, you can reprogram your mind from lack and competition to abundance and cooperation. If you learn to direct the energy of your thoughts to abundance and infinite possibilities you will eventually start attracting abundance into your life whether it money and success or love, health, peace, and harmony.

How To Practice Abundance Affirmations?

In abundance affirmation practice, the key to success is your consistency! Read the abundance affirmations in the morning immediately after waking up and in the evening right before going to bed.

I discovered that the abundance affirmations work better when you’re reading them in front of the mirror looking directly in your eyes.

It is very important to combine reading the affirmations with your emotions. Use your own emotions to make the affirmation practice more powerful. You can even add moves and gestures. Your goal is to convince yourself that what you are saying is true! Therefore, use whatever helps you to achieve this goal.

However, if you are reading the affirmations without being convincing, your consciousness will never get the message. Remember that your entire body should work when you are practicing abundance affirmations!

Repeat the affirmations as many times as you want. However, I prefer to use the magic number 8! 8 is a symbol of infinity. Therefore, when you’re repeating the affirmation 8 times it is considered to be repeated an infinite number of times.

Abundance Affirmations

Here is the list of my favorite abundance affirmations.

I am open and receptive to all the wealth life offers me!
Every day I am attracting more and more abundance into my life!

I am increasingly magnetic to health, wealth, abundance, prosperity, and money!
I have an abundance mindset!

I live in an abundant universe!

I LOVE the whole Universe and the whole Universe LOVES me! I feel it!
I’m in LOVE and I am LOVED! I live in peace and harmony!
I am happy in LOVE!

The Bottom Line

The most important thing in affirmation practice is to change negative thoughts to positive. In abundance affirmation practice, we are changing our thoughts about the lack of abundance to thoughts about infinite abundance whether it’s related to money, love, creativity or success. It is especially important to remember this not only during your affirmation practice but also in your everyday life. Remember that even a fleeting negative thought can destroy months of positive affirmation practice! Choose your thoughts carefully!

Feng Shui Christmas Tree Placement Rules for Abundance and Happiness

Published

December 10, 2019

Katya Ki

Christmas is just around the corner, so it’s time to decorate your Christmas tree! You might be asking, what’s so special about the Christmas Tree placement? Why do we need to use Feng Shui Christmas tree placement rules in this simple action we’ve done so many times before? The thing is that a Christmas tree with bright decorations, garlands, and lights is a powerful source of Yang energy. When we place a Christmas tree in a certain sector, we activate the energy of this sector.

From an astrological point of view, each sector can be a source of positive or negative energy. And if a Christmas tree gets into a sector with negative energy, this energy gets activated and attracts all kinds of problems into your life. If the tree gets into the sector with positive energy, it gives the opposite effect – you attract luck, abundance, and well-being. All these astrological subtleties are calculated by Feng Shui masters.

Everything is important in Feng Shui Christmas tree placement: where the Christmas tree will be placed, how active will the room be where you place it, what color you choose for its decoration, what date and time you choose to install the Christmas tree. In short, each seemingly insignificant detail can have a huge impact on the energy of the house.

In this article, I will not delve into the complex Feng Shui formulas but instead, I will give you practical tips on how to activate the positive energy of your home and avoid the activation of negative energy.

Why Is It So Important Where the Christmas Lights Are?

In terms of Feng Shui, there are two kinds of energy — Yin and Yang. Yang energy is active and live. If the Yang energy fills the favorable sector of your home, it activates the flow of positive energy and attracts good luck to you. For example, you can suddenly get a bonus, your salary can be raised, you may come up with a new great idea, etc.

However, if the Yang energy gets into the unfavorable sector, it activates all kinds of failures of your life – you can lose money, health, happiness, peace, and you can quarrel with loved ones, etc.

Following Feng Shui Christmas tree rules, will help you to attract good luck and improve your life.

Where to Place the Christmas Tree and What Decorations to Use In December 2019?

Energy changes every year. Therefore, the following recommendations were created by taking into account the energies of December 2019.

In order to determine which sector to put the Christmas tree in, you need to have a Bagua map of your house. If you still don’t have a Bagua map and don’t know what it is read my article “The Feng Shui Bagua Map”.

So, here are the main Feng Shui Christmas tree placement recommendations!

Which Sector to Choose According to the Feng Shui Christmas Tree Placement Rules?

Northwest sector of your house or Northwest corner of your living room

You can use blue, white, and gold decorations for the tree in this sector.

Do not hang Christmas lights in the Northwest sector of your house!

There should be no activity in this sector. It should be a quiet and peaceful place. No loud noise is allowed here. Fire is especially unfavorable here (it can provoke poisoning, diseases, and inflammation). Do not light candles, do not use red decorations, do not hang Christmas lights in the Northwest sector of your house or the Northwest corner of your living room.

North sector of your house or North corner of your living room

If you decided to place your Christmas tree in the North sector, then make sure not to use Christmas lights for its decoration here. You can use blue and green decorations.

South sector of your house or South corner of your living room

South sector is a bad place for your Christmas tree this year! So it’s better if you place your Christmas tree somewhere else. If for some reason it’s impossible then, at least, make sure that you are not using Christmas lighs in this sector. Use white and silver decorations for your tree.

Southwest sector of your house or Southwest corner of your living room

It’s not a good sector for placing a Christmas tree this year. If it’s possible try to find another place for your tree. If it’s impossible then make sure not to use any Cristmas lights in this sector. It’s important to keep this sector peaceful and quite. No loud noise is allowed here.

Southeast sector of your house or Southeast corner of your living room

If you decided to place your Christmas tree in the Southeast sector, then use blue and green Christmas decorations. This colors will attract new opportunities, good luck, and prosperity!

It is the best place for a Christmas tree in this sector this year! If it’s possible make sure to use this amazing opportunity to activate your good luck! By placing a Christmas tree here you are activating prosperity, money flow, and harmony for the entire family.

For performing this activation, hang the Christmas lights and colorful decorations on your Christmas tree! Don’t forget to say your intention to activate your prosperity luck before you start decorating your Christmas tree. Also, if you want to triple the power of this activation, say outloud money affirmations while decorating your Christmas tree!

West sector of your house or West corner of your living room

It’s not the best sector for placing a Christmas tree this year. If you can’t place your Christmas tree anywhere else then make sure to use white, gold, silver or blue decorations here.

Northeast sector of your house or Northeast corner of your living room

It is favorable to use blue, white, silver, or gold decorations in this sector.

Central part of your house or center of your living room as your Christmas tree placement

It’s one of the best places for the Christmas tree in December 2019. If you place the Christmas tree here you will attract good luck, good opportunities, recognition, fame, good communication, prosperity, wisdom. To activate this auspicious energy you need to decorate your Christmas tree with Christmas lights and yellow, gold, silver, or white Christmas decorations.
