Feng Shui 🌱 We find the first hints of garden in some pictures that are dated back to the ancient Egypt civilization, (low-relief of Karnak -15th century BC).
Originally the aim of a garden was to get material goods such as flowers and fruits,  useful to the inhabitants of the surrounding areas. Then there was a sort of  switch and gardens began to be designed just for pure aesthetic pleasure in order to recreate a small “corner of paradise”.
Gardens thus began to be created just to give emotions and transmit feelings, because they were considered as precious places where beauty and peace could reign and give therapeutic effects on the elevation of the spirit and the nourishment of the soul.
Well, it is actually something like that 😊 gardens and souls belong to each other and form an intimate space between consciousness and unconscious.

From the past to today this awareness is still the same 👉 green areas may encourage active and positive feelings and to relieve  your state of anxiety and stress.
So, let’s go back to talk about Feng Shui which establishes the rules for recreating the elements present in nature, generating harmony and energy.
Today relativity and quantum physics are teaching us that everything is energy and everything is surrounded by an eternal and precise energy exchange.
A house garden is often the first thing we see when we go in and the last one when we are leaving.

A special way to project your garden in order to create Harmony is coming from the East; there are many solutions available that can transform our green space into a real ZEN area with a little effort (it is a word of Japanese origin that means: to think, to reflect, to meditate).

Here are the most important indications for creating a garden according to the feng shui theory:
• always try to tidy up your garden and avoid to use too many plants,
• select local plants,
• replace ill plants with healthy plants,
• prefer varieties with rounded and soft shapes avoiding thorns and sharp leaves,
• use high protective hedges, but not too high,
• leave the central part of your garden free,
• leave room for new plants for future growth,
• place, if we have space, large trees away from the windows but close to the edge of the garden.

We know that modern life is increasingly chaotic and stressful, and for this reason it becomes very important to recover the symbiotic relationship with Nature.
You don’t need to have large spaces but a small garden or a dedicated corner is enough to get in tune with a more natural, relaxed and harmonious lifestyle which, gradually, can lead us to a change of attitude towards ourselves and also towards the world that is around us.
It is easy to understand how much the Garden, a living and changing place, therefore has a very important role. These are the positive actions that your garden can give you:

• stimulate psychological and inner growth,
• lighten the load of daily stress,
• soothe inner wounds,
• help to find a balance,
• recover spontaneity,
• facilitate an introspection work.

The garden can do all of this and even more.
It is a mirror of the Soul, capable of making clear the mechanisms of your inner world  It is a perfect metaphor which is inviting you to an introspective journey, it is able to bring out and bring to the surface your most intimate and profound part of yourself.
