Michael Savitsky: feng shui and earth

As Michael Savitsky explains, earth is one of the main feng shui elements and as such must be paid special attention at the time of harmonizing any environment. Earth, just as it happens with the elements of fire, wood, water, and metal, must be properly balanced and in the right places in order to become a harmonic element in the house, room, office, or any other environment in which it is.

Michael Savitsky: characteristics of earth

Earth represents everything related to real estate, legacies, law, and stability in all areas. According to Michael Savitsky, when properly balanced, this element also can help the house inhabitants to be patient, analytic and pay attention to details. On the other hands, when used improperly, this element can add tension to the environment in which it is producing an unbalance.

Michael Savitsky: adding earth

The ideal place or area of the house for adding earth is within the northeast and southwest directions as well as in the center. There are several ways in which you could add earth to any specific spot. As Michael Savitsky would say, among these ways in which you could add earth to a specific area we can find, for example, ceramics, porcelain objects, vases, or paintings which represent this element. Besides this, the color yellow also represents earth and is a good way too add this element to a room.

Michael Savitsky: earth and the other elements

As Michael Savitsky explains, earth can enter into a destructive cycle when it is improperly balanced in relation to the other elements. According to the destructive cycle, earth destroys or controls water and is destroyed by wood. On the other hand, when the elements are properly balanced and enter into the productive cycle, earth would be enhanced by fire while it would enhance metal.
