A person without light lives in darkness. So it can be said with Feng Shui. In the traditions of Feng Shui light represents energy and goodness. Light is good - yet natural light is best and the best choice of all. Natural light is good Feng Shui. Sure artificial light can help adjust or fill in missing qi in dark or difficult spots. Yet just like organic foods and organic vegetables and fruits are best, so is the choice of natural light and working with natural light sources rather than jumping on the artificial and artificial light bandwagon right from the get go. You are what you are and you are best to shepherd, focus, amplify and utilize all of the natural light you have - for natural goodness.
An antenna does not create energy or better radio signals - an antenna serves to focus. In the same manner take all the effort and work you can to focus the natural light sources that you have available. For example a choice of light colored walls , drapes , carpets and furniture can help reflect and amplify the incoming natural light that you have available for your purposes. On the other hand if you're living areas face the sun and are just "too bright" for comfort, then use the reverse. Darker walls, furnishings and even drawn drapes can soften an otherwise harsh environment. Darker walls can actually absorb heat on a cold winter day and give warmer more comfortable living areas as opposed to simply drawing the drapes or blinds and reflecting out this wonderful source of natural light and natural warmth and goodness, in the end it can be said that balance is key. A stabilizing effect between the wonderful effect of natural lights and fill in artificial lights, which must be used as a fill in at times, is the desired result.
If there is glare from the outside then this can be softened through the uses of drapes, curtains or blinds. In cases where harsh overhead or even floor lamps create an air of oppression or restraint - then simple standard table lamps can be used to create wonderful organic soft soft pools of nourishing light. Rooms flooded with these pools of soft light make a room feel immensely relaxed as well as most inviting. It's as if the room itself with its soft light beckons the visitor in.
Even if you feel that you are limited in the physical geography and limitations of your living or work space - with the help of simple Fen Shui principles and some simple basic thought much can be done. For example simply cleaning a wall through a thorough washing may well increase the lightness of color of the wall and the natural , healthy light reflected and indeed bouncing off the wall to the center of the room. In a similar means simply adding a hanging mirror, or even mirrors on a wall or even a ceiling areas may greatly focus the available ambient light you already have - bringing up greatly the lighting values, colors and indeed apparent friendliness of living or working areas. Lastly always remember and note that in a pinch - candles will always add great amounts of yang qualities to a "ying" area.
In the end it can be said that a person who light symbolizes warmth and goodness. Light symbolizes education and moral values. A person, family, home or business without light lives in darkness. Feng Shui.
