The key is to harmonise those elements with our individual characteristics. Our body shape (which changes as we age) should be balanced with the patterns that symbolise our favourable elements. When we achieve that balance and harmony, we feel good about ourselves and attract positive people and events into our lives.
A Q
because based on our personal elements, there are a list of shapes, colours and patterns associated with specific areas of our lives such as health, romance, or overall success.
