If you have been researching feng shui, you may have seen information on feng shui candles. How do these candles differ from regular candles? Should they be used in certain places? Are there any places that you should not use these candles?

The Five Elements and Feng Shui Candles

The five natural elements are wood, metal, water, earth, and fire. The teachings of feng shui say that all rooms of your home should have a balance using these elements. Do you know what this means?

To put it simply, different elements are able to feed or destroy each other. Wood can feed fire but water destroys fire. Earth can feed wood but metal destroys it. Feng shui does not teach about destruction but it does teach about balance. If you have a room that has strong earth elements, for example, such as the warm tones of your bedroom or living room, you might want to introduce the element of fire to bring some balance. This is where feng shui candles are used. Obviously you don't have a fireplace in every room and you can't set up a bonfire indoors but candles are affordable, small and safe.

Feng Shui Candles and Energy

The fire element represents strong vitality and energy and any corner of your home or room which requires this energy can benefit from the fire element. A lot of couples who want to bring more energy or spice to their love life are encouraged to have some feng shui candles in the bedroom. The fire encourages you to enjoy the revitalization and energy. You do need to exercise basic fire safety precautions of course and make sure you extinguish the candles properly before going to sleep!

It is a good idea to use feng shui candles when you want to create energy in any room, such as the dining room or family room, when you want the family to be open and to gather together. The fire encourages everyone to have energy in their thoughts and conversations.

Where Not to Use Feng Shui Candles

Because fire is such a strong element, it does need to be tapered somewhat. If you have a large fireplace in your home, you are probably already bringing in enough of this element already. Be wary of overdoing it by lining your fireplace mantel with your feng shui candles. Instead, keep these candles for a place in your home thats far enough away from the fireplace that the two will not compete with one another.

And of course, you do need to exercise all cautions when using feng shui candles anywhere. Avoid using them in your childrens' rooms, or around pets who may knock them over.

By applying all these principles when considering the use of feng shui candles, you can then begin to enjoy the energy and vitality that they will bring to your home and your life.
