One of the most wonderful things about Christmas is the
decorations and most particularly the spectacular centerpiece - the
Christmas Tree. Follow these guidelines and enjoy a beautifully
transformed magical home over the whole Christmas.
- Use plenty of green. Christmas can be stressful because there
is so much red fire energy. Pine green is a cooling colour, so
plants and evergreens will cool the atmosphere and bring peace
and good feelings. Green also absorbs the fire energy that is
created by fairy lights as well as the warmth generated by lots
of people together. Its soothing colour will tone and balance the
colour red.
- Angels and cherubs are lucky symbols -
they fill the room with good will, peace and a fairytale
atmosphere.
- Make sure everyone (including house
guests) places something on the Christmas tree so that they put
their own special feelings into it to make the gathering more
special.
- Heed the Chinese phrase ' five colors
blind' - which means too much color, sound and activity can have
a numbing effect upon on. Too much food and color will exhaust
the family, so don't put up decorations too early.
CHRISTMAS TREE COLORS:
GOLD & SILVER - can strengthen your intuition and it represents
ostentation, money and fame.
RED - the color of life - and the most auspicious color of all. It
relates to growth, happiness and joy. It is the great energizer
representing deep and passionate love. It is also believed to keep
away evil forces.
BLUE - represents spiritualism, thoughtfulness and consideration.
It is associated with faith, constancy and fidelity; this color is
cooling and calming.
PURPLE - is often considered more auspicious than red. It is
associated with high ideals, loyalty, truth, love and suffering. It
is often the color of high nobility indicating power, riches and
fortunes.
WHITE - is the color of mourning, it is said to have no life, no
color. It is the color of purity, innocence and naivety. Feng Shui
would prefer you not to use this color.
PINK - is healing and represents love and romance. It is a very
soothing color and it raises our vibrations so it is a very healthy
color to have around you. It represents joy, happiness and
especially romance.
MULTI - COLORED - this represents the union of all the colors in
the spectrum and each color will impart its special nature, do make
sure that multi colored decorations are always used on green
Christmas trees as the green balances our whole system and brings
order and harmony.
