hundreds of trees crowding my home
We just moved into a new house in an area within the woods. There are so many trees on our property that the grass doesn’t grow and the ground is covered with moss. We want to plant a garden and do some professional landscaping, but that would mean we have to cut down about a hundred trees. My front door faces the South and there is a river about a hundred yards away. I don’t want to cut down trees but do want to let the sun in for the garden to grow. What should we do?
Q A
In feng shui, light means yang energy, and yang energy is needed for a home to thrive with good feng shui. If trees surrounding your home are crowding your house to the point where insufficient sunlight can enter your home, or even allow grass to grow, then consider either trimming their branches or cutting some down altogether. You could also landscape around the trees – keep a few and cut a few others down.
It is OK to cut down trees if they are to make way for a garden with new plants or if they are obstructing your chi flow around your home. However, you must be careful when you do this - as trees do provide shelter for many beings - animals you can see as well as spirits that you cannot see. If you have to cut them down, give them sufficient “notice”. You can speak to the beings on the trees and tell them that you mean them no harm, and that you intend to cut down on such and such a date to make way for a beautiful garden that they can use when you’re finished – and ask them to find temporary shelter elsewhere while you do this. Burn incense and offer it to the spirits living there, requesting them to please give you permission to do this. Remember to always be respectful, and when you’ve cut down the trees, promptly remove any residue. Do not allow piles of woodchips to sit there rotting for months! This brings the worst kind of energy into a home.
