Feng Shui & The Icelandic Volcano

The ongoing eruption of the Eyjafjallajokull (!!) volcano in Iceland gives us a lot to think about, Feng Shui-wise.

The Fire Element in action.

As the volcano imposes worldwide travel disruptions, it forces us all to slow down.

Humanity seldom has an opportunity to be as much in the moment as we all are right now, waiting to see what nature has in store for us.

This is the Fire element at work, destroying and creating in equal measure.

In Feng Shui, Fire weakens Wood, the element of ambition and growth.

Fire destroys Metal, the element of detachment and sharp thinking. And it creates Earth, the element of stability and nourishment.

It’s a great moment to respect the message nature seems to be sending about our ambition and self-absorption.

Let’s take this moment to slow down and honor our amazing planet Earth.

Has the volcano — or its drama — affected your life in any way so far?
