Colors, Prints, and other Ways to Attract Good Fortune in 2014

            The run-up to the coming Year of the Wood Horse starts with London-based international feng shui expert Marites Allen conducting her much-awaited Annual Feng Shui Updates in Metro Manila. It will be held at the Infinity Ballroom of the F1 Hotel Manila at BGC, Global City on December 7, 2013. 

            Co-hosted by Marites and Boy Abunda, this exclusive event is the largest gathering of its kind in the Philippines, bringing together feng shui aficionados from all over the country and neighboring Asian cities.  It includes comprehensive feng shui forecasts for the Chinese New Year, and how feng shui can benefit businesses, industries, and individual lives during the year.  The Year of the Wooden Horse will start on January 31, 2014.

            The practice of feng shui, the Chinese art of placement, goes back hundreds of years and has grown in popularity throughout Asia and the West. Traditionally, it harmonizes the directions and the correct positioning of spaces to conform to the principles of auspiciousness and good fortune. Basic to the practice is the influence of the five cosmic elements—Wood, Earth, Fire, Metal, and Water—to every human activity and aspiration.

             “Even to those who claim they don’t believe in feng shui, its practical applications are all over us in this modern world,” says Marites. Citing the latest iPhone line from Apple as an example, she notes that the five colors of its mass-priced line reflect the five feng shui elements: Green (Wood), White (Metal), Red (Fire), Yellow (Earth), and Blue (Water). Even the choice of the Pantone color of the Year for clothing follows the feng shui directions, she adds.

             

The December event in Metro Manila will feature many new ways of applying the feng shui principles to daily living in order to attract positive energies. One of these applications is in the field of auspicious fashion embodied in the European brand, Frigga. Launched in Manila, Tokyo and London last year, Frigga incorporates feng shui into its design to provide comfortable, luxurious, and eye-catching fashion clothing and accessories that cater to wearers with specific intentions. “Every item carries a distinctive fashion DNA, making Frigga the first of its kind. It combines colors and prints, which are symbolic of various feng shui elements, to help attract auspicious energies and enhance the chances for better health, wealth, career and relationships. Call it fashion for a reason, or fashion with a purpose that goes beyond just looking good” says the feng shui expert now turned Frigga ambassador.
