3. Earth. Earth affects physical strength and order while generating an overall feeling of grounding, balance and stability. When there's an overabundance of earth in a space, people will often notice a heavy sensation and experience more boredom, sluggishness and seriousness. When there's too little earth, people may feel disorganized, chaotic and unfocused.
To bring in the element, add:
- anything in earth tones (brown, green or sand)
- square and rectangular shapes
- low, flat surfaces
- images of landscapes
