Have you heard of Feng Shui?

Do you want to increase the flow of energy in your home or office or improve the energy of some parts of your home or office? Do it with the help of the colors and shape of fresh flowers and Feng Shui!

Feng means wind and shui means water. Feng Shui is a way of harmonizing your place of residence or work to ensure continuous flow of positive energy - like wind and water. A house or an office can be rearranged for good chi (positive energy flow) using the ancient Chinese feng shui technique.

The universal language of flowers crosses cultural boundaries, interpretations or meanings. The feng shui use of the flowers symbol is based on the same universal feeling that flowers evoke in all humans - a feeling of beauty, grace, and a delicate, alive sensuality.

In addition to the energy of beauty and grace, flowers also bring a flourishing, good luck and numerous blessings, quality of Chi to any home. Feng shui-wise, attention is often paid to colors, numbers, as well as the symbolism of specific flowers.

Specific colors of flowers or particular types of flowers are best placed in certain locations for the optimum effect. Pink flowers, for example are thought to be a good choice for the bedroom, since they encourage harmony and tenderness. Red tulips encourage romance. Lilies are good for balancing out active areas of the home. Orchids will encourage harmony and peace after arguments. Green round-leafed plants are especially good in areas that have a lot of electronic equipment, such as a home theatre or home office. A wreath of flowers on the door provides protection, especially if reflective ribbons are included.
Depending on their colour and shape flowers will enhance the chi energy of particular directions.
