Posted November 10, 200123 yr Hi. I need advise on where you draw the line between big and small and how to bring them into you home. Can you suggest examples of what to use for metal & earth below so I have a better understanding of the difference between big/small [aside from the obvious, which is size]?Mainly, big metalsmall metalbig earthsmall earthAny examples to use for:fire, water, wood [plants, big wood/wall paneling]I just want a better understanding of what is meant by big and small and a broader base of items I can use to satisfy the elements.Thank you so much for your time. I look forward to your response.trilbee
Posted November 11, 200123 yr Staff Dear Tril,There are several rulesets in Feng Shui.One of the more visible method is: the 33.3 percent ruleset. Here, so long as a sector or location has 33.3 percent of an element, it can be said that this element is dominant at that sector. A good example is let's say a bedroom. If we paint the walls and this cover more than 33.3 percent of the entire wall with blue, then we have `applied' a significant amount of water element. Thus painting a wall or using bedsheet to cover the bed are some of the options.Please see below:- Quote On 11/10/2001 4:14:00 PM, Anonymous wrote:Hi.

Thus we can use numbers to associate with an element. Thus 6 or Six signifies BIG METAL, then we can use 6 coins to represent BIG METAL as a cure.However, do take note of the following:-BAD YELLOW or star #5 - Bad Earth element or Misfortune. Here, it is better to use `moving' metal to neutralise Bad earth. Thus a metal windchime can be used here to produce metal sounds to neutralise the star #5.FOr #2 sickness sector, BIG METAL or 6 coins can be used here. Quote big earthsmall earthAny examples to use for:fire, Colour can also be used to represent an element thus, if we want to introduce a Fire element e.g. in a room we can use PINK or light purple. But avoid using more Yang colours such as RED as this may be too yang in the bedroom.water, We can use blue, grey or black or shades of it. In a room this can be in the form of painted walls or bedsheets or the colour of the wardrobe.wood [plants, big wood/wallpaneling]As mentioned earlier, if you are using wall panelling, if it exceeds 33.3 percent, this would imply that it is dominant in the room. Once can also have e.g. furniture in natural wood colour e.g. brown. Or laminated cabinents e.g. in green, wood grain etc..Warmest RegardsCecil Quote I just want a betterunderstanding of what is meantby big and small and a broaderbase of items I can use tosatisfy the elements.Thank you so much for yourtime.
