RSSHow to design your Feng Shui garden?
Feng Shui is the art of directing the energy of an environment. Feng Shui is the ancient Chinese art of placement. The Chinese believe that “by placing things to encourage the beneficial flow of Chi (Energy Force) you can create harmonious change which affects your health, wealth and relationships.”
The art is gaining its popularity in West. If you want to create the beneficial Chi in your environment, then here are a few tips about how to blend the fundamentals of Feng Shui in your garden with your own creativity.
The path: When you are planning your Feng Shui garden keep in mind that the path should be NEVER straight, otherwise chi energy would tend to run too quickly towards your home. Chi energy requires slow and free movement. Hence, make sure that the path in your garden has curves. To realize this, grow plants over the curved path so that the chi energy moves slowly and freely.
Living spaces: Since the basic principle of Feng Shui is to provide a sense of relaxation to you, the garden should have living spaces where you can chill-out with your friends and enjoy the sunshine and cool breeze.
The Wood: Your Feng Shui garden should have large trees and shrubs to provide privacy and protection at the back of the garden.
Mix and match: The Wood in your garden should not be dominated by a single species. So, mix the colors, shapes and sizes of the plants.
Boost up the “Yin” energy: water features such as ponds, pools and fountains are beneficial chi. Don’t forget to add this element because this adds the yin(feminine) energy to your garden.
Boost up the “Yang” energy: “Yang” stands for masculine energy. So, boost up your energy by using garden lights to add light to the garden’s dark areas.
Balance and harmony is the key word of a beautiful Feng Shui garden. Get inspired by your unique Feng Shui garden and spread the positive energy in you!
