 Trees
and plants in Feng Shui
An
ideal home should have a garden full of plants and
trees. The view from your windows should be pleasant and
scenic. Hospitals, burial grounds, schools, places of
worship are best avoided. Why places of worship? You may
ask. Because, schools and places of worship can create a
chi imbalance. Not always are these places active!
Although a busy street is fine, a busy highway is a
definite no-no!
Trees
and plants play a vital role in Feng shui. They enhance
and regulate the chi. They are known to be the wood
element in Feng shui. Plants and trees in your garden or
on the road outside your house can attract positive
energy and can keep the place cool and peaceful.
For
a Feng shui garden avoid cactus and other desert plants.
Chinese astrology believes that having thorns as
inauspicious. Green is the color of growth and
prosperity. If the plant grows then there is ample
growth in wealth and health. Flowering plants are most
preferred as they bring in freshness, wealth and
goodness. A bamboo shoot or plant is called a good luck
plant. Rose flower plant adds beauty and willow tree is
for grace and a pine tree is for longevity. A banana
tree can ward off the fears of ghosts.
Each
tree and plant has its own significance. Water is
another element that can create positive energy along
with plants. Having a fountain or a water fall in your
garden adds not only beauty but also saves you from
drained bank account, weight problems or quarrels.
In
a Feng shui garden keep it clean from dead leaves and
broken pots. While designing a Feng shui garden,
remember to have meandering path ways so that the energy
flows freely. Consult a practitioner for balancing the
five elements of air, water, fire, wood and metal.
For
indoor plants money plant or Pachira is an auspicious
plant. This requires very little sunlight and can be
kept at the wealth corner of your living room.
A
good luck bamboo is another indoor plant that doesn’t
need anything except water. If water is changed every
second day the plant remains fresh and grows well. It is
very easy to maintain a bamboo plant. This bamboo has
the power to ward off evil and negative energy from the
house. It will not only bring luck and fortune but can
also activate energy that is stagnated in a corner or
location.
Where
ever there is imbalance of chi in the house, placing a
plant can balance the energy of that room including the
toilet.
