Remarkably; the unique mothering quality of earth element makes you feel balanced and secure; giving an inner place that supports your efforts to take care for yourself and taking care for your dear ones, too.

Let us look at the Feng Shui earth element; how it can be incorporated, when and where to use it sparingly to strengthen and create harmony and balance; reconnecting your life.

Fill with Crystals and Stones

One of the fun ways to harness the earth element is by decorating with gorgeous stones and crystals. Bring out your collection of stones and crystals that have been collected for ages or its never boring to shop for some new stones and crystals. Go for a bowl filling with the stones and crystals on your coffee table and watch the energy in your home become calmer and happier because of these beautiful earth cures.

Rest Earthenware Bowls and Vases
