In feng shui, the earth element represents grounding and stabilizing energy.
The earth is the foundation of life. It is supportive, life-giving, and what a solid foundation is built upon.
When you think of building upon a solid foundation or grounding and centering your energy, you are thinking about the earth element.
The earth element is “home base,” it’s where you go to regroup, recharge, and create your life.
If you need more balance and stability, adding the earth element to your home can help.
One way to do that is to add feng shui earth element crystals!
The colors related to the earth element are yellows and browns, ranging from light pale yellow to deep, dark brown.
So it follows that feng shui earth element crystals fall into two categories: yellow crystals and brown crystals.
Yellow crystals tend to be more energizing, depending on the brightness of the color, while brown crystals are more grounding and stabilizing.
When you consider earth tones, there’s a wide spectrum, so if you have a crystal that you feel is an earth element crystal but it isn’t on this list, use your intuition!
