Michael Savitsky: the productive cycle

Michael Savitsky: productive cycle description

As Michael Savitsky would explain, the productive cycle is an important notion to have in mind at the time of applying feng shui guidelines to your house, office, or any other environment you wish to harmonize. The productive cycle is the ideal state in which the five main feng shui elements should relate to each other, and it is opposed to the destructive cycle, which you should always try to avoid.

Michael Savitsky: the elements

The elements form part of a productive cycle when they are properly balanced and none of them predominates over the other unless it is appropriate for a specific area. If you make sure of not allowing any element to predominate over the others in such a way that there is a very big difference between the amounts of that element and the others, you could trust they would probably be in a productive cycle rather than a destructive one. Despite of this, and as Michael Savitsky would say, it is always recommendable to learn in detail how these cycles work and study how the elements behave in your house in order to know for sure what is going on.

Michael Savitsky: the productive cycle

In the productive cycle the elements interact in the following manner: wood enhances fire, fire enhances earth, earth enhances metal, metal enhances water, and water enhances wood. This is based on the way in which food makes fire, fire produces ashes that go to earth, earth is the source of metal, metal melts and produces liquid which equals water, and water nourishes wood.
