Feng Shui for your garden

The garden is as much a part of the house as the living room or the bedroom. We perform feng shui for the bedroom and the living room to attract positive energy, and to keep negative forces at bay. So, why not try feng shui for the garden as well. Good feng shui for the garden will add to the positive vibes of the house and bring good energy (Qi) into your home. Feng shui products are also very attractive and exotic, and add an extra beauty to the garden.

All feng shui products for the garden are made to attract the five feng shui elements. Depending on which element is the most required for you, you can choose the right feng shui product. It is essential that you choose the product based on your feng shui need, and not just the look of the product.

1. Outdoor fountains

Add the element of water to your home. Decide what fountain design, material and shape appeals the most to you (and also to your feng shui Birth Element), and install it in your garden at a spot that can be chosen per feng shui.

2. Wind chimes/Weathervanes

These are loved by one and all. The pleasant sound the chimes create is soothing, and helps bring positive vibes. You can combine the elements of wind and water by placing the wind chime near your fountain. A weathervane could also be a good symbol for the element of wind.

3. Garden lights

In early days, fire lamps were used to bring in the fire element. But in the modern world, modern lanterns can symbolically replace fire lamps. Choose a lamp with the appropriate design for that area. Garden lights can come in variety of designs from flowers to turtles. Ensure balance when lighting your garden.

4. Statues and accents

Good feng shui is a harmony of sounds, colors, images and movements. Install a sculpture such as an angel, bird, horse, etc. and witness your garden come alive. A weathervane bearing the motif of an angel, bird, fish, or a horse can also be a good alternative – a moving sculpture.

5. Stepping stones

These are a good addition to the garden landscape, and serve a higher purpose of reminding the “one day, one step at a time” healing philosophy of paying conscious attention to each step in life.

6. Stone bench

This can be an excellent place to rest oneself, and give the time to absorb all the positive, nourishing energy moving about in the garden.

Choose from these feng shui products and decorate your garden wisely and feel your garden brim with positive energy.
