Then there was a sort of \u00a0<i>switch<\/i> and gardens began to be designed just for pure aesthetic pleasure in order to recreate a small &#8220;corner of paradise&#8221;.<br \/>\nGardens 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.<br \/>\nWell, it is actually something like that \ud83d\ude0a gardens and souls belong to each other and form an intimate space between consciousness and unconscious.<\/p>\n<p>From the past to today this awareness is still the same \ud83d\udc49 green areas may encourage active and positive feelings and to relieve \u00a0your state of anxiety and stress.<br \/>\nSo, let&#8217;s go back to talk about <b>Feng Shui<\/b> which establishes the rules for recreating the elements present in nature, generating harmony and energy.<br \/>\nToday relativity and quantum physics are teaching us that everything is energy and everything is surrounded by an eternal and precise energy exchange.<br \/>\nA house garden is often the first thing we see when we go in and the last one when we are leaving.<\/p>\n<p>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).<\/p>\n<p>Here are the most important indications for creating a garden according to the feng shui theory:<br \/>\n\u2022 always try to tidy up your garden and avoid to use too many plants,<br \/>\n\u2022 select local plants,<br \/>\n\u2022 replace ill plants with healthy plants,<br \/>\n\u2022 prefer varieties with rounded and soft shapes avoiding thorns and sharp leaves,<br \/>\n\u2022 use high protective hedges, but not too high,<br \/>\n\u2022 leave the central part of your garden free,<br \/>\n\u2022 leave room for new plants for future growth,<br \/>\n\u2022 place, if we have space, large trees away from the windows but close to the edge of the garden.<\/p>\n<p>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.<br \/>\nYou don&#8217;t need to have large spaces but a small garden or a<a href=\"https:\/\/blog.plastecnic.com\/en\/green-wellness\/wellness-grows-on-our-balconies\/\"> dedicated corner<\/a> 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.<br \/>\nIt is easy to understand how much the Garden, a living and changing place, therefore has a very important role.\u00a0These are the positive actions that your garden can give you:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 stimulate psychological and inner growth,<br \/>\n\u2022 lighten the load of daily stress,<br \/>\n\u2022 soothe inner wounds,<br \/>\n\u2022 help to find a balance,<br \/>\n\u2022 recover spontaneity,<br \/>\n\u2022 facilitate an introspection work.<\/p>\n<p>The garden can do all of this and even more.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"><br \/>\n<\/span>It is a mirror of the Soul, capable of making clear the mechanisms of your inner world\u00a0 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.<\/p>\n<p>And you, what do you think?<br \/>\nOf course we suggest you to use our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.plastecnic.com\/en\/plastecnic-creativi_per_natura\/\">pots<\/a> in your small or big garden!<br \/>\nChoose the most suitable for you! \ud83c\udf31<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Feng Shui \ud83c\udf31 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).
