Spring time is here and most of us want to clean out our yards and gardens for the upcoming summer season. Here are tips to help


you Feng Shui your garden and bring positive energy into your environment. (You may use the bagua from your front door and lay it over your space to see


where the areas fall within your home or you can use it at the entrance of your garden or property!)


Flowers raise an abundance of universal and cosmic energy known as chi, but one


must keep the energy well balanced for positive results. Dead plants cause shar chi (neg- ative energy) to stagnate over your yard, garden or home. Using organic compounds in- stead of chemicals goes without saying; we want to assist nature and not poison Mother Earth. Instead of agonizing over the dandelions that nature provides us each year, why don’t we revel in their sunny yellow faces that bring good health for you and your fam- ily. (It also will help the declining bee population who don’t have enough to eat!) There are several ways of approaching placement of the bagua to enhance your


land. The bagua is an octagon shaped floor plan that can be used over your property to find the appropriate colors and shapes for each of the nine areas. The most powerful way is to mentally super-impose the bagua over your entire yard. Then, you would plant the appropriate colors and shapes in each area. You can use several bagua areas throughout the property, such as for a small garden or wild- flower area, or for your entire property. You could add chi enhancing flowers in the areas that correspond with issues that are of concern to you. Use your driveway to align


the bagua entering your property. There are a variety of special flowers associated with each gua. 1. Purple butterfly bushes attract butterflies which can enhance the Wealth area of your property. Spring time hyacinths, purple petu-


nias, or asters could also be used. A holly bush in this area brings prosperity. 2. Snapdragons call the etheric dragons to the Health and Family area of the bagua. Sage gives the area lots of energy. You can then


dry the sage and use it for smudging, meditation or prayer sessions. 3. Blue hydrangea and blue delphinium are great additions to the Knowledge area, as are tulips, peppermint, and spearmint. 4. Black knight iris is a great conversation starter for a lovely spring day. Although it isn’t black, basil planted in the career area can


bring fortitude. 5. Dusty miller, fescue silver lining or silver artemisia in shades of gray can fortify the Helpful People gua. 6. White peonies or chrysanthemums, two Chinese favorites, are great additions to plant in the Children and Creativity area. Don’t


forget the daisy as these cheery little flowers can brighten anyone’s day. 7. The pink rose will bless the Love and Marriage gua, but don’t overdo it! More than three bushes on an average size property can


cause relationships to become too thorny. Balance this area, as well as the others, with different sized and shaped plants by adding pink di- anthus or geranium. 8. There are many varieties of red flowers available for the Fame and Reputation area. Pick a flower that you feel is beautiful and that


resonates with your energy. The Firecracker is a pretty and hearty plant. 9. The center of the bagua is the earth and health area which is represented by yellows and earth tones. Marigolds are not looked upon


favorably from a Feng Shui perspective, so choose another flower. Lemon verbena can be recycled into potpourri when dried. Who can re- sist the simple beauty of a golden pansy? When planting, it is important to declare your intentions as to what you would like these flowers to bring into your life. Thank the


Earth Gods, the fairies, the angels, Spirit or whomever you believe in, for their part in the upcoming beauty, and add the whimsy of a wind- sock, whirl-i-gig or chime to get the chi moving to attract more positive opportunities. In a few short weeks, you will enjoy the majesty of butterflies, fireflies, bees and other wildlife which also enhances the flow of positive chi.
