I'm bringing the bagua back in here to show you how color is actually already incorporated into feng shui, and how it's used. Each eight areas of the bagua has a color that's assigned to it, basically. For fame, it's red, and for partnership it's pink. Now, you don't have to use that color in that area, but you can use a color that you like, or also has a quality like. Red is sort of a fiery thing, and if you want a fiery, passionate relationship, why not use red? Pink is a version of red, it's sort of a watered down version. Children, the color are white, or children and creativity. The color for helpful people is gray or silver. So a good adjustment to do for helpful people; using color, would be to have a picture of the helpful people in your life in a silver frame. That's a simple adjustment that you can do. Career is black, Knowledge and spirituality is light blue, family is green, and wealth is purple. So again, one of the ways to adjust, and raise the chi is to use the color that is associated with the life area that you want to improve in your life, but if you didn't happen to like that color; you don't like purple, you don't have to use purple in your wall or corner. You could use a color that you love, and that's what's important, that it has a quality that you resonate to, that gets you excited; it gets your chi up and running, and therefore, you use that color in your space, and it will affect you in the way that you want it to.
