Grow more trees to have a balanced flow of energy

Chi is a Chinese word that has no direct translation in English but holds several meanings at once: cosmic energy, life force, breath, and vapor. Chi is the invisible energy that animates all living things. Chi flows continuously through pathways (or meridians) in your body (the practices of acupuncture and Asian medicine are based on these flows) through your home, through the Earth, the heavens, the atmosphere, and the cosmos. Chi is the flow of life itself, and if the chi stopped flowing through you for even one second, you would cease to live. 


The chi of homes can vary widely, depending on the energies of the residents and the general and specific details of structure and the lot. The interaction between the chi of a living environment and the chi of the humans within this space is Feng Shui; the house itself and the people living in it synergistically create the house chi, which in turn continuously affects and conditions the residents’ energy, actions, and to some degree, their destinies. Amazingly, the way your home is situated can mean the difference between experiencing long-term happiness and good fortune versus enduring missed opportunities and a difficult life path. Deciding between these two options and taking concrete actions to bring about the one you desire is the purpose of Feng Shui.


Lively, vibrant, and nourishing: This type of chi is abundant in locations like Hawaii, in old-growth redwood forests, or by healthy, moving streams. Such an environment generates a lot  of negative ions (which are actually positive for your health), contains high levels of oxygen, and helps create a positive mental attitude. Taoist feng shui regards healthy, well-cared for trees a major source of growth energy and believe that those who dwell in homes devoid of trees lack the impetus of growth.Trees around the homes that have good foliage and with broad rounded leaves are preferred to thin spiky and thorny trees although bamboo and spines are exceptions. Bamboo and spines are powerful symbols of longevity and resilience and bamboo planted in the front of the house is said to bring in good fortune.


Having a single tree in the central open courtyard as a gardens cape is not good feng shui as it symbolises ‘difficulty’ and isolation.If the back of the house has lower land levels or a ravine, planting five trees, which would eventually grow tall, is good, as it symbolises Mountain support, especially if they are fruit bearing. However, having trees on either sides of the house, that is left and the right areas, generate a more balanced flow of energy. Dead tree either at the back or front of the house is bad energy and old people are susceptible to this dead tree energy.Some of the auspicious fengshui trees are —Pomegranate, red dates which symbolise descendant luck.Lime trees to dispel bad energy around the home apple tree for peace and harmony.Orange tree for wealth and prosperity.
