The Art of Feng Shui in your Garden
, 06 29th, 2008
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. A Feng Shui garden should follow nature’s lead as much as possible with the primary aim of creating harmony and balance.
Nine elements need to be present to achieve a balanced Feng Shui garden.
Some of these elements are:
- A place to sit that allows you to view all, or at least most, of your garden. A hammock or hammock chair can provide the perfect and most relaxing seat to view your garden. It is recommended that hammocks be placed in the northwest because it is related to movement.
- Paths should never be straight, as chi energy would run too quickly towards your home, instead let them meander and curve through your garden.
- A garden should have “living spaces” that provide a haven for friends and family to relax and enjoy the sunshine and gentle breeze.
- Trees or large shrubs will provide privacy and protection at the back of the garden.
- Balance is created by mixing different sizes, shapes and colors of plants so that no one species is overwhelmed by another.
- Water features such as pools, ponds and fountains are beautiful and encourage beneficial chi. They also symbolize prosperity and create yin (feminine) energy.
- You can create more Yang (masculine) energy by using garden lights to add light to the garden’s dark areas.
