If you are thinking about adding some feng shui elements to your home, you might have heard some people talk about feng shui candles. What exactly are feng shui candles and what are they for? How should they be used and are there certain places where using them is not real feng shui? Most feng shui candles don't come with instructions so it can be confusing knowing exactly how they should be used in your home.

The Five Natural 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.

How Feng Shui Candles Affect 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!

Feng shui candles are a good idea when you are looking to create energy in any other room of your home, such as the family room or dining room, when you want the family to gather and be open to one another. The fire is an encouragement for everyone to have some energy in their conversation.

Where Do Feng Shui Candles Not Belong

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.

It is best not to use feng shui candles in childrens' rooms. Make sure they are securely placed in a holder and not close enough to pets or small children to be turned over.

If you apply these principles to your use of feng shui candles, you will soon begin to enjoy the vitality and energy that they bring to your life and your home.
