Feng Shui and garden (5)
Why do we incorporate water features in our gardens or parks? What significant benefits do they portray? First and foremost, water brings our gardens or parks to life; and activates the qi (our life force). It also beautifies our gardens/parks and attracts birds, butterflies, bees and other living beings. It soothes our nerves and we feel relax and calm. As you probably know, Feng shui in Chinese is wind (feng) and water (shui), water also symbolizes wealth for many Chinese and Asian communities. The ancient Chinese said "Qi rides the wind and is retained by water". Fengshui-wise, water can help retain the qi, hence our wealth. Ponds that empty into each other are most auspicious because they allow qi (wealth) to circulate and accumulate.
However, please make sure that the water is kept very clean at all times; do not allow the water to stagnate nor the pond to collect leaves in the fall. This would cause stagnation of our own energy and might lead to severe financial problems.
Well, this concludes our Feng Shui and Garden series. I hope you’ve enjoyed reading and may you accumulate more wealth!
