Feng Shui And Trees !!

Trees are vital part in our surroundings for our well-being, synonymously called the “lungs of the earth”. They act like the purifiers of every breath that we inhale. They are also responsible for preventing ground water run-off and soil erosion. With growing population and commercial growth, trees have become the most cherished part of our mother land.

Apart from their beauty, they have the mother like quality to provide shelter, warmth and a place to climb on for fun and enjoyment. They also provide nutrition in the form of fruits, nuts etc. Substantially they play a strong role in our homes in the form of Feng shui. Hence, it has become essential for us to protect the trees surrounding our homes. Do you know what else it has in stock for us? Let’s go through the Feng shui aspects of the trees.

1. Trees provide good amount of support. When planted at the backyard of house, they provide “Mountain Support” at the rear of the property. Generally, all the dwellings and commercial properties are situated with the rear of property at raised level. If this rise is not present (i.e. landscape is flat) then vital support from trees can be missing out and resulting in struggle in major areas of your life. This support in the rear of the property is considered to be as a critical element in Feng Shui. It is suggested to plant a row of 5 trees in the backyard of the property in order to simulate the missing support.

2. Planting Bamboo in the backyard may bring good fortune in one’s life. If bamboo is planted in the rear of the house then gives solid support. If planted in East direction, it gives splendid dragon energy (best form of energy as per feng shui). If planted in the front of the house, it gives essential auspicious energy for opportunities and wealth. The front side of any property is considered to be as the highly auspicious location for plantation. So it is recommended to preferably plant bamboo in the front of the house.

3. Trees giving flowers bring reward. As per Feng shui Orange trees are believed to bring wealth and are specifically beneficial when planted in South-East corner of the yard. Lemon/lime trees are also helpful in bringing opportunities and wealth especially for houses facing South-East direction. Orange and Lime trees when planted at the front of the dwelling bring great opportunities in the form of advancement and wealth.

In order to promote good relationships one should plant Apple trees in the home. Planting Pomegranates stimulates love. In the west of the yard prefer to plant peaches to bring overall family happiness.

4. To raise the amount of essential Chi energy, trees should be planted. If your house or office slopes down towards the left side or is at low level, trees should be planted to increase the Chi energy resulting in making the essential “Dragon Energy” more under control. Always make sure to plant trees on both the sides of the house to keep the harmony inside house balanced. Trees planted on left and right side control the anger of husband and wife respectively.

5. Trees can also promote growth and good health. When trees are planted on the East side of the house, they can promote personal growth and good health. Always choose large hardwood varieties of trees to plant of this side of the house.

6. Pines are there for longevity of life. Pines are believed to be effectively auspicious when planted in the East corner of the garden.

7. Always keep on removing dead trees if there. Dead trees tend to draw huge amount of energy out of the house. Make sure to remove dead trees specifically when someone is ill in the house.

8. Trees should not touch any sort of house construction. If any tree is touching the construction, it will give “yin” energy to the house which you don’t want because it is Negative energy.

9. Also trees should be away from the centre of the house, South-West corner and North-East corner. Trees planted in the center of the house tend to cause severe financial troubles. Trees in the North-East corner create educational problems and trees planted in South-West corner tend to create relationship problems.

10. Also trees should not be planted in the front of the main door. Trees blocking the door also blocks opportunities and causes financial and career troubles. If possible, remove the tree or cut the tree down, after cutting place a gazing ball to push tree energy back.
