In the bagua look for the color green represented by the Zhen trigram in the East and the Xun trigram in the Southeast. These are areas of your home or office where the color green is at home. Zhen represents early spring so use the lighter shades of green here and save the darker shade for Xun sections of your home.
Green calls to mind growing things and good health. It can be a cheery color that brightens our mood. It lifts us up just as a growing plants rises towards the sun. So if you have been feeling down and are prone to SAD (seasonal affective disorder) why not add a new plant to your windowsill. You might choose a flowering plant such as a daffodil which is always associated with spring. Or try a hyacinth with a lovely scent. Or perhaps a leafy green plant such as a pothos more suits your style. They have the added benefit of cleaning the air in addition to looking great.Or how about a lucky bamboo plant?
Start thinking about changing your decor to bring on the spring. I am not talking about major changes, as in feng shui neutral backdrops are most appropriate. Think accents. Pillows, throws, favorite photos of spring flowers or scenes, a change of art work can all change your mood. How about a nice big bowl of Granny Smith apples on the dining room table? The perfect color for early spring.
Get active. Spring is a growing and moving time. Get out more into the increasing sunshine and build up your stores of vitamin D. Start your spring cleaning early and if you have a reasonably warm day throw open the windows and let in some fresh air. Start an exercise program or get back on the one you resolved to start at the new year. Get together with friends you haven’t seen all winter. But I digress.
Add some green to other sections of your home. If you need more fire element someplace then add some green to feed the fire. If you have too much water energy in another area add some green to soak up the water energy. Green, Zhen and Xun are related to wood energy. Keep this in mind when using green in your home and office.
