Uses in Feng Shui

Activate the Wood Element

In feng shui, you would usually work with the five elements: wood, fire, earth, metal, and water. Each of these elements represents different qualities and types of energy, and you often add a particular element to a home to create more balance and activate that element’s qualities.

The wood element is connected to kindness, growth, and restoration, and it’s expressed through the colors blue, green, and teal. One way to activate wood energy in your home is to add blue or green crystals, such as turquoise. As you place a piece of turquoise in your home, set an intention for it to invite wood element qualities into your life.  

Activate Your Meditation Area

Because turquoise balances emotions, it’s a perfect stone to use for meditation. In addition to having calming energy, it also can help you stay grounded on earth during spiritual practices. Try placing a piece of turquoise in the part of your home where you like to meditate and connect to the stone each day as you begin your practice.

Activate Your New Beginnings Area

The New Beginnings area, called Zhen in Chinese, is one of the sections of the feng shui bagua map that is related to the wood element. You might want to activate this area if you want support in starting a new project. Placing blue and green stones in this area, such as turquoise, is one way to activate this area. Often when we are starting something new, we also have to release any old patterns that might be getting in the way, so turquoise’s ability to remove negativity and blocks can be especially supportive in this area.

Invite Calming Energy in the Bedroom

Your bedroom is the part of your home where you want to have the most serene, calming energy. Especially if you work from home or if you have children or other family members who often require your energy at home, it’s important to have a space where you can relax. Place a pretty, small bowl of two or three turquoise stones on your bedside table to benefit from the energy. Or, place a small turquoise stone under your pillow to help you have a restful sleep.

Activate Your Home Office

In feng shui, different parts of your home represent different aspects of your life, and your office is connected to your career. Because of turquoise’s grounding and calming energy, it can be a helpful addition to a home office to help you stay focused. Turquoise’s ability to enhance communication and creativity can also be helpful, so placing a piece of turquoise in your home office can help you bring these qualities to your work. 

All unique in design and intuitively each piece is hand-picked for you.
