5. Wood Balances Energy

Feng Shui wood is an indispensable element in the Five Elements theory (Wu Xing). The five main elements—Metal (Kim), Wood (Mộc), Water (Thủy), Fire (Hỏa), and Earth (Thổ)—are interconnected, supporting and counteracting each other.

• Wood (Wood) generates Fire (Hỏa): For generations, wood has been used to maintain and spread fire.
• Water (Thủy) generates Wood (Mộc): Water is essential for nourishing wood. Wood needs water to grow and facilitate internal exchanges.
• Metal (Kim) counteracts Wood (Mộc): Metal represents tools like axes and saws used to cut down trees. However, Metal is still important for Wood, as it can shape Wood into valuable and useful objects.
• Wood (Mộc) counteracts Earth (Thổ): Trees need to break through the soil to grow and develop. They also absorb nutrients from the earth to thrive.

The elements support each other or counteract one another to benefit each other, forming a closed cyclical relationship. A good house always needs a balance of Yin and Yang and all five elements. Therefore, if a home owner lacks any element, they should add it accordingly. Avoid having an excess of one element, as it can cause an imbalance in the energy flow.
