Your Feng Shui Garden Will Change Your Life

Feng shui is an ancient Chinese practice dating back thousands of years. It all starts with the outdoors. You can design your garden and other outdoor space by following the principles of feng shui so that you can improve your life. You should be able to use these techniques to create a garden that gives you more energy. Even people who do not believe in Feng Shui will be able to benefit by following these Feng Shui practices. You can encourage good chi to flow in your garden by looking at the layout of your garden, and the path that the chi (or energy) takes. You can change the path once you are aware of everything that can affect the flow of chi. Feng Shui believes that your garden shows what your future will be like, so you should spend time making it look as nice as possible!

Start by looking to see if there are any areas of bad chi that affect your garden. These could be things close to your garden such as cemeteries, dead trees, hospitals, large buildings or electrical lines. Once you know the negative sources of energy you can use wind chimes, and lighting to counteract these bad aspects.

Clutter is bad anywhere, especially in your garden. Make sure you get rid of all of the clutter from your garden to allow the chi to move freely. Remove dead plants and replace them with living ones. You want to promote a feeling of peace, not frustrate people. Make use of curving paths which encourage chi to move through the yard, and also slows it down. Create square or rectangular flower beds and make sure they are well stocked.

The most important part of this is to plan, to do this sketch put your garden as it is at the moment. Then you can use a piece of tracing paper to make improvements. This will allow you to compare both designs and see which one is the best. When you are planning your garden you should pay special attention to the elements and how they are used in the garden.

You want to make sure that you use all of the elements when designing your garden. These elements include fire, wood, water, metal and earth. You can use patio stones to add earth into the garden, water can be added by using fountains. These not only improve feng shui, but they also make your garden look beautiful! Fire can be added by using red colors or even using lighting or candles. Adding a set of patio lights would be a great addition. There is almost certainly plenty of wood in your garden as there will be lots of shrubs, trees and other plants.

By incorporating feng shui principles into your garden design you will be able to make it much more relaxing and peaceful. This will help the energy to flow much better.
