Flowers and their meanings
I am soooo excited to be planning my garden this year!
If you didn’t know, i offer a Garden Feng Shui service where I help my clients bring harmony to their outdoor spaces. Gardening and planning gardens is my favorite!
When I am helping my clients plan what to bring in to their gardens, i like to be intentional about my suggestions.
Did you know that each flower has a meaning?
We can use them to manifest and help attract positive Chi around our home. The outdoor spaces around the house, are it’s aura.
Another thing I like to do is apply the Bagua map outside and even to balconies.
Using the Bagua map will help to bring peace, balance and harmony.
We can also use the 5 elements to create flow and activate each of the Guas.
The 5 Elements in the Garden
Wood: Wooden planters, tall trees, wooden patio furniture and the colors brown and green are examples of how you can activate the element of wood.
Water: Fountains, bird baths, ponds, glass accents and mirrors look beautiful in gardens and bring that flow of the water element. You can also use the colors blue and black.
Fire: Outdoor candles, fire pits and lighting bring the element of fire. We can also use the color red.
Metal: Metal statues and structures, wind chimes and metal furniture bring the element of Metal. Metallic colors and grey can also be used.
Earth: Earth seems obvious in the garden but things such as terracotta plant pots, the colors yellow and brown and rocks will help bring that stable Earth energy we need.
When we have our environment in balance, it helps our nervous systems feel calm and supported. This helps us vibrate at a higher frequency and when we are in that state, miracles happen!
