FENG SHUI IN THE GARDEN
Gardens are wonderful. They can have herbs for healing, seasoning and magic. They will often have colorful and scented flowers. But they can do much more than simply look or taste good.
You've probably heard of feng shui, the Chinese art of living in harmony with the earth. Feng shui techniques improve the flow of chi or life energy. Laying out a garden according to the principles of feng shui will help this flow.
You can learn how to apply this art to your grounds in Feng Shui in the Garden by Richard Webster. Everything you need to know is included, so you will be able to work with this system within minutes of reading this book.
It starts by explaining the history of feng shui, what it is and how to do it. Then it shows how you can improve the chi flow by simply choosing the right plants to put in the right places. But there's more.
You will also learn what colors should be planted on different sides of your garden. You'll discover how you can grow herbs and plant them according to the rules of feng shui, too. You'll even learn where you should place a small pond or fountain.
The book describes the five flowers considered by feng shui experts to be the most important. You'll learn what they are, what they represent, and where they should be planted.
Feng Shui in the Garden also reveals what to do with cuttings and plants that you bring into the house in order to increase the flow of chi. Also, you'll learn the value of having a getaway, a secret garden for tranquility and meditation.
Using feng shui in your garden is a great way to bring more beauty and beneficial energy into your life.
If you have a home, apartment or condo, you most likely also have a yard, garden, porch, or patio. Even if you only have a window box filled with flowers, you can still benefit from Feng Shui in the Garden by Richard Webster.
Feng shui is the 5,000-year-old Chinese art of living in harmony with the earth. Most people think of using feng shui in their home or business, but what better way to attract chi (or life energy) to your home than by first attracting it to your garden?
This book is ideal whether you have experience with feng shui or not. It begins with an introduction to the mysteries of feng shui. You'll learn about such things as the placement of water, the five elements, the mystical pa-kua and how the pa-kua can be used to help you achieve wealth, improve relationships, obtain luck, enhance your career and more.
An important aspect of feng shui is its focus on the free flow of chi through your home or business. If you have the luxury of setting up a new garden, this book shows you exactly what you can do to improve the flow of chi.
Chances are, however, you are living in a place where a garden already existed. You can still use feng shui to improve your garden. By asking a series of nine simple questions, you will be able to determine if the feng shui can improve the chi, bringing health, wealth and happiness.
You will learn how to set up a trigram based on the position of your home. Different parts of your property will be associated with different trigrams. This book will help you determine which flowers, plants, herbs, bushes and trees are appropriate for different locations in your yard.
For example, you will learn that the southwest direction is associated with the colors pink, red and white and is related to love and marriage. Thus, for a successful love life, be sure to plant flowers in these colors.
Traditionally, there are five flowers considered to be the most important in feng shui: peonies, chrysanthemums, white magnolias, orchids and lotuses. The book explains their meaning and how to use them.
A garden with herbs can enhance the feng shui of an area, too. The book lists over 25 useful herbs and why you might like to plant them. You will also learn where to put the different herbs in your garden.
A secret garden is one that is completely enclosed. It can be any size and is a place where you can get away from the everyday world. It may be in a secluded area or it may be a section within your garden. It is both relaxing and healing.
Of course, most people with gardens eventually bring flowers, herbs and plants indoors. This book explains how to do so for the greatest feng shui benefit.
