Understanding Feng Shui

Harness the Ancient Wisdom of Feng Shui with Crystals

Feng Shui (pronounced "fung shway") is the ancient Chinese art of arranging your environment to promote harmony, balance, and positive energy flow—known as chi or qi. For thousands of years, practitioners have used Feng Shui principles to create spaces that support health, prosperity, relationships, and overall well-being.

Crystals are powerful tools in Feng Shui practice. Each crystal carries unique energetic properties that can enhance specific areas of your life and home, working in harmony with the five essential elements: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water.

The Five Elements & Crystal Correspondences

Wood Element - Growth, vitality, abundance

Green and blue crystals such as Green Aventurine, Amazonite, and Jade support new beginnings, health, and family harmony. Place in the East (health/family) or Southeast (wealth) areas of your home.

Fire Element - Passion, transformation, recognition

Red, orange, and purple crystals like Carnelian, Red Jasper, and Amethyst ignite passion and bring recognition. Ideal for the South area (fame/reputation) or to energize any space needing vitality.

Earth Element - Stability, nourishment, grounding

Yellow and brown crystals such as Citrine, Tiger's Eye, and Honey Calcite provide grounding energy and support relationships. Perfect for the Center (health), Southwest (love/relationships), or Northeast (knowledge) areas.

Metal Element - Clarity, precision, efficiency

White and metallic crystals like Clear Quartz, Selenite, and Pyrite enhance mental clarity and attract helpful people. Place in the West (children/creativity) or Northwest (helpful people/travel) areas.

Water Element - Wisdom, flow, career success

Black and dark blue crystals such as Obsidian, Sodalite, and Lapis Lazuli promote wisdom and career advancement. Best positioned in the North area (career/life path).

Learn more about the classical elements and their deeper meanings on our Essential Elements page.

Note: Traditional Feng Shui uses five elements (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water) from Chinese philosophy. Our Element Picture Frames feature the four classical Western elements (Earth, Air, Fire, Water) based on Aristotelian philosophy. Both systems offer powerful ways to work with elemental energy in your space

Getting Started with Feng Shui Crystals

Cleanse Your Crystals

Before placing crystals in your space, cleanse them to remove any stagnant energy. Use smoke from sage or palo santo, place them under moonlight, or use sound vibrations from singing bowls.

Set Your Intention

Hold your crystal and clearly state your intention for what you wish to attract or enhance in your life. Your focused intention activates the crystal's energy to work in harmony with your goals.

Strategic Placement

Use the Bagua map to identify which area of your home corresponds to your intention. Place your crystal there with purpose, ensuring it's visible and in a position of respect.

Regular Maintenance

Cleanse your Feng Shui crystals monthly, especially those placed in high-traffic areas or used for wealth and protection. Refresh your intentions periodically to maintain their energetic potency.
