The Color White ~ What does white mean in the world of feng shui?
In feng shui, every color is considered to have a different energy (Qi / Chi) vibration. Color can be used any space as a great way to rebalance and harmonize the energy of your surroundings so that it positively supports you and your lifestyle.
White is a powerful ‘Yang’ color and is great energy reviver. In the home, the color white is a very helpful feng shui cure and can be used for troubleshooting in small, dark and dingy areas of the house where stagnant energy accumulates.
The bright and reflective qualities of white means it can lift the heavy energy of darker spaces. For north-facing rooms or those with little natural light, white walls, fabrics and accessorises can maximise the potential of incoming light to reinvigorate the energy of these areas.
In smaller spaces, where the energy flow may be overly constrained or suppressed, the color white will bring a greater sense of airiness and freedom of movement. A brilliant white ceiling will immediately lift the energy in any small room.
The reviving qualities of white can also help support you and your life goals. White signifies starting over, new beginnings and unbridled creativity. In feng shui, white is thought to ‘create space’ for positive energy to enter your life – this could mean more money, supportive people or fresh opportunities or insights.
So, if you are embarking on a new chapter in your life, beginning a new project, or just needing to stimulate some out-of-the-box thinking, introducing the colour white into the spaces where you spend time focusing on these matters will help create the perfect setting for the positive to manifest. If you are able to combine white décor with a decluttering of these spaces this will also amplify the impact. This is just like starting afresh with a blank sheet of paper!
White in feng shui is also associated with the qualities of confidence and authority. White says: ‘look at me I have nothing to hide’! This is why white can be great to use in both your environment and in your clothes when you want to assert a sense of power underpinned by white’s other qualities of purity, honesty and integrity. So this is why white can be a helpful colour choice in meeting rooms, rooms for entertaining new friends or clients, or as a clothes choice when you want to look your best for an important job interview or presentation.
