Helpful Tips In Feng Shui Gardening

In Chinese, “wind and water” refers to Feng Shui. It is a very popular Chinese art of placement that has been practiced for thousands of years. In Feng Shui, the manner in which energy circulates through a home or garden has a positive or negative effect on the owner of the place.

These days, according to modern Feng Shui, business success, fame, and marital bliss can be affected in one way or another if, for example, the furniture is correctly placed in the home and/or the landscape design of a garden has a balanced Feng Shui.

Feng Shui experts such as Deborah Gee, has made a video to help people use and tie together chi properly. Chi is the “life force” in the universe, environment and the body. This notion of chi is a core principle of Feng Shui. To properly manage and use chi in a garden, handling of three basic elements is required:

1. Greenery – In Feng Shui, this may refer to anything which is green around or the green grass.
2. Mountains – This represents energy and can be symbolically manifested in tall trees, shrubbery, and raised planting beds.
3. Water – In Feng Shui, water is represents prosperity and wealth and is symbolized as fountains, streams, or ponds as well as rivers of stones.

Balance is one of the most important that is taken into consideration by Feng Shui experts. The three fundamental elements of greenery, mountains, and water and should be placed close to each other. Near pathways is where sharp items should be placed.

Sharp objects direct sharp chi at people who pass by and interrupts the circulation flow of energy in their bodies, which then causes a lot of tension and stress. Meandering or circular pathways in your garden are more ideal; sharp objects and straight pathways produce a wave of rapidly moving chi that that can lead a feeling of discomfort in people who pass these pathways.

A common mistake that a lot of garden designers make is creating a flat garden. When a garden is flat, it stifles the flow of energy in the garden. A garden with different layers and levels leads to a smooth flow of chi flow in the garden. In addition, a garden with many curves can help boost the flow of chi.

In Feng Shui gardening, one other important aspect to consider is the importance of the different areas of the garden. These various areas can be associated with certain aspects of one’s life. For instance, a garden’s far left corner can be related to wealth. A garden’s center can be related to fame and reputation while the far right corner is connected to the love life or marriage of a person. Chi is drawn to bright colors; therefore, planting purple, blue or red, flowers in a Feng Shui garden landscape can help increase the flow of chi.
