8 Feng Shui Favorite House Plants

Feng Shui is all about enhancing the quality of life. How often do you consider the importance of your house plants?

Oh my gosh, how I do adore my houseplants and from a Feng Shui perspective they are simply the most natural, beautiful way to raise the vibration of your home and cultivate your personal Chi. I have many clients who state they don’t have a green thumb nor the time to commit to “what they believe” is necessary to dedicate to their care. I assure my clients that I have heard them while kindly directing them to the hidden message in their language. If you don’t have time to nurture a plant that needs watering once a week you may need to re-evaluate your schedule to take time out for you. Watering your plants can be worked into your personal cultivation time as a walking meditation. Fifteen minutes a week is really all they need and of course the proper lighting conditions are necessary for optimum growth as well.

Living breathing plants bring life to a space, raise the energy of abandon and still corners, add O2 to the air, filter the air of environmental toxins and absorb many of the EMF’s bombarding our spaces such as our beloved wifi’s. Always willing to share

Not only are they beautiful but according to NASA’s research they are fantastic at filtering the air from harmful chemicals.
