Contemporary western Feng Shui focuses on maximizing positive energy and eliminating the negative. Positive energy, known as chi, is created using design that welcomes opportunity and progress. A vibrant garden is a great way to increase healthy chi.
According to Fast Feng Shui, fastfengshui.com, a neat, well-maintained yard full of healthy plants and trees invites growth, vitality and prosperity to the home. But old piles of leaves, overgrown weeds, and rotting vegetables, are a barrier to positive energy.
Fast Feng Shui says to increase chi, you should focus your energy on the area nearest the house. Keep the plants healthy and alive. When your garden reaches your goal, stand back, and make a statement acknowledging your hard work and the positive energy radiating through the yard. Use this moment to admire what you have done and the transformation that took place.
Fast Feng Shui notes, if you have moved to a home with a garden larger than you have time to care for, talk to a professional landscaper and design a lower maintenance yard.
