“Earth is the container for all the other elements, so baskets and pots are considered related to Earth elements.”
– Tisha Morris

Local Feng Shui Find of the Week
Fair trade, handmade grass nesting baskets.
These cute containers are the perfect sizes to be useful but not enormous. The largest basket is 11″ diameter.
Where to Use
Bathrooms are naturally dominated by the water element: sinks, toilets, tubs, showers, mirrors … To balance out all that water energy, add some earth elements to “contain” the water. Use these baskets in the bathroom or any other room that feels too watery. Place some on the bathroom counter or shelf to hold cosmetics, makeup brushes, washcloths, soaps or jewelry.

Which Bagua Area is Best for Baskets?
The center of your home corresponds to health – physical, mental and spiritual. This health area is enhanced by the grounding earth element. What room is in the middle of your house? Could you display a basket full of yellow lemons on a table? Or use baskets to store art supplies, toys, remotes, receipts . . . anything you want to corral in the center of your space.
