Metal can be used in a lot of forms in Feng Shui. A metal solution can be gold, silver, brass, bronze, or even
and you have workout weights that you do not use, then the weights can be placed at the bottom of a brass
pot, then covered with a small plant, then it makes an effective metal solution because the pot with a plant
looks attractive. (The metal is much stronger than the small plant so this is not a wood solution) The idea
here is to create a beautiful solution while getting substantial metal effect. The effect needs to be proportional
though. Having a lot of metal in a small room or having too little metal in a large room does not fit
proportionally. Try to get a solution that works for the area you are working with.
There are a lot of other creative metal elements that can be used. Some of my clients use brass statues of
deer or even a bronze horse bust. A couple of very strong metal solutions include a metal chiming clock and
wind chimes. Both of these need to be used carefully and upon the advice of a trained practitioner. Mainly
because they are audible, the sound strengthens the effect of the metal dramatically. Used properly though,
they can render assistance to areas that are prone to accidents, money delays, and illnesses. Just like Yin
and Yang, there needs to be a balance, so too much metal can be detrimental and too little can be ineffective.
One tip about wind chimes; this year (until February 2000) if you plan to do any gardening, or construction in
the South, adding a metal wind chime outside can prevent construction delays or accidents. Next year (2/2000
until 2/2001) it will be the North. Again, consider the time cycles, not all Feng Shui recommendations as
permanent.
Many of our students ask "Why is metal the primary remedy in Feng Shui?" Well the answer is because of the
time aspect. Since time and space are always undergoing change, so is qi. During this time period, certain
earth qi is not favorable and the solution is to use metal to correct it. Because of this, more times than not, the
recommendation will be something made of metal. This does not mean to replace everything in your house
with something metal, but in a lot of cases, metal accents in the home can assist in improved health and a
reduction of delays. Ideally though, you should seek out a qualified Feng Shui practitioner to assist you in
determining whether you need to add metal in your home.
Lastly, remember that Feng Shui is about balance and harmony. Do not overdo it. Any Feng Shui solution
applied should fit naturally into your environment and should not appear awkward or out of place. Remember
too, if something doesn't’t feel right to you, then it is not good Feng Shui. Always use common sense and
proper aesthetics.

another by several degrees. Because of this strong effect, one of the primary Feng
metal. Metal is a strong remedy and can be used to prevent illnesses, money delays,
and even loneliness. It needs to be properly applied in the correct area to be
effective. Since it is one of the key elements and is very commonly available, the
metal element has a lot of ways in which it can be applied in Feng Shui.
