Feng Shui Wisdom for January: Go Red

Franca Giuliani - I said last month that I would talk about the color Red for January … so here it is! With all the New Year festivities, the color Red has been used a lot. But, have we ever really thought about its meaning?

The Chinese associate Red with auspiciousness and good luck. (And, just to note: their New Year has not arrived until January 23, the start of the Lunar New Year.) Red sends a message of happiness, strength, and warmth. It's fire. It's fame. It's an honor to walk on the Red carpet. To celebrate, people will “paint the town Red." 

As the color of blood, Red also represents the flow of life in our bodies. Red is a deep affirmation of life, and when we use it in a living space, we're making that statement. However, keep in mind it can be over-powering. Red can agitate and is often associated with danger. Red means “Stop.” Brake lights are Red. Fire equipment is painted Red. If a business is in the “Red,” it's losing money.

Nonetheless, Red ignites activity and intention. Play with a little Red this month, and see where you can add some of it into your personal space. Place a beautiful Red pillow on a chair. Can you cover a lamp or light bulb with a red mask to change the color of the light? And, as you do this, keep in mind your intentions for 2012. This will help you anchor them in your thoughts.

I have to say that there sure have been alot of comments on this blog that have had nothing at all to do with Feng Shui. I for one think that is taking advantage of the system.

This has got to be the most fun I have had in the last two days answering questions to this blog. I made the mistake to notify me of followup comments via email when I made my post on Saturday and have received 36 responses since than. Not one of them about my post.

As feng shui is all about good energy (Sheng Chi), it is important to know how to keep your feng shui cures active and full of energy. Of course, it goes without saying that you also have to keep the energy of your home (or office) fresh and clear, too!

I have become a Feng Shui nut over the last year and am trying to devote my entire life to its principles. This seems like a way to a more content lifestyle and I will have to commit completely to it to get all of the benefits

I am loving this!!! Feng Shui is the greatest. I have been trying to incorporate it into my life for the last few years and it has made a great impression. I am happier and more focused then ever and believe it is all from Feng Shui.
