I bet you have a few all time favorites from your closet that make you feel super comfortable, right? Yet they aren’t your “go-to” kick-ass ensembles when you have an important engagement. Nor when you’ve received a quick phone call for an interview or a spontaneous dinner date, same ole, same ole, won’t do. You want an outfit that makes you feel put together, dynamic and you don’t want to purchase something new. Step out of panic, you are in luck! You can take those favorite black pants or little black dress and go “3 for 3” with the Five Element Colors. These colors may be placed in specific sequences to balance your Ch’i, give you confidence and help you feel your best. Yes! Color plays a huge role in how you look and feel. And that’s the secret you can pull out of your closet in a moment’s notice.

The Five Element Theory derives from Chinese cosmology. Each element shares a corresponding color. Water is black, Wood is green, Fire is red, Earth is yellow and Metal is white. There are two cycles and they either feed or control the other. In the Constructive Cycle an element feeds the next element. You must choose at least three colors to make the cycle work. A CC sequence is: water (black) feeds wood (green) and wood (green) feeds fire (red). Begin at your shoes or feet and work upwards to your head. Feeling a little tired when you get up? You can rely on this sequence to brighten your mood, strengthen your Ch’i and support your mental capacity. The Containing Cycle controls or destroys an element. For example: wood (green) chokes earth (yellow) and earth (yellow) absorbs water (black). Why use this sequence? Because there are times when life is coming at you fast and you need to feel stable. Or if you have experienced a trauma and you want more security. Begin at your head or throat and work down to your shoes.

Now that you have a bit of Five Element savvy you will be spot on for an important presentation and brilliant when negotiating a transaction. And as you know a picture is worth a thousand words. I am delighted to share two, one minute videos for when those words fly uncontrollably out of your throat,  “I have nothing to wear!”
