Feng Shui a Quick Guide to the Five Elements The five elements describe five essential qualities of chi (life force energy),which you can use to enhance, control, or balance a space, depending on your needs: metal, water, wood, fire and earth. This short book explains in more detail about each element, placement of items relating to its energy and how it can help you.

Each element can help shift your energy and/or the energy of your space. When you understand the relationships between the five elements, and how they can affect your space and your energy, they become a powerful tool in your feng shui tool kit. Metal helps you concentrate and get things done; its inward focus helps you clear your head and cope with details. Water is helpful when things have been stuck for a while (think of ice melting), and for improving communication. It is also associated with cash flow and opportunities. Wood energy is associated with new beginnings, and it can help you make smooth progress in the projects you undertake. Fire creates heat and action, and is the energy to use when you want to increase passion and intensity in any area of your life. Earth energy is good when things are chaotic and you need more stability, or if your are dealing with issues of commitment, nurturing, or receptivity.
