Welcome To The Fantastic World Of FENG SHUI!!!

Dear readers, in this new installment I would like to please some followers who have asked about the topic “garden and garage” within this ancient science and its importance.

      For the past six years, we’ve been sharing insights on how energy influences our family and professional lives, as well as the comfort our usual spaces—whether our home, office, or business—can provide when we spend time there. This translates into increased time spent in these spaces and a greater sense of well-being, fostering focus, relaxation, concentration, and a desire to work—in short, those emotions inherent to human beings that are part of our experience of feeling.

      Today we will discuss the garden, leaving the garage for next month and next delivery, to give each the importance and relevance it deserves in its area of influence. Some people believe that because the garden is outside the immediate vicinity of the house, business premises, or office, its care and maintenance should be disregarded.

      For the ancient science of FENG SHUI, the garden is a key part of the entrance to the room; that is, it is like the bridge between the external reality and the environment that makes it up.

      The garden “Suggests the entrance” to the guest to enter space. For example, let’s take the example of commercial premises of any kind, such as a restaurant, whose access is at street level and whose sign and entrance are generally an invitation for the passerby to enter the premises in order to participate in the activity, in this case, eating and consuming the products of the establishment. Generally, this first impression is equivalent to when we meet someone for the first time; it can be a pleasant encounter or the opposite.

      Returning to the topic we are discussing today, garden. It’s a calling card for the property, whatever its nature, and its care, attention, and maintenance generate the sense of well-being that every room should inspire. This doesn’t have to translate into an expense that bankrupts our budget, but there are various types of plants whose prices can be within reach of our tastes, project, and the adaptations to the space.

      The idea is that the garden project is a “gala dress” that makes what comes next better or equal to it.

      The garden just like any space studied and analyzed by the FENG SHUI. It has specific areas of the same that are located in the BAGUA MAP. These can enhance our requirements and needs, provided the appropriate “cures” are applied. I invite you to review previous articles where we specifically developed the topic in question.

      Returning to the topic of BAGUA MAP, for those who haven’t followed or read us before, this instrument shows the areas where we want, desire, or need to harmonize energies to optimize spaces. To make our explanation easier, we will provide a practical example:

      Example: We wish to raise our energy in the area of love, generally speaking, our garden. It should be decorated with colors that “call” to love; within this range, we have colorimetry from the strongest reds to the most delicate pinks, the intensity of which is up to the garden owner’s taste, as well as the decoration included in it, always in even numbers, especially for the theme “Love in a relationship.” Similarly, if it is another category of love that we wish to harmonize, the appropriateness will be provided by that category, a garden where there are children in the house, it will always be a garden where there will be no shortage of appliances and toys, but keeping in mind, as mentioned in previous articles, order and cleanliness, even for reasons of avoiding accidents of any kind.

      In addition to the fact that nature is generous and provides us with calm, freshness, and a landscape worthy of Monet, when care is generous and systematic, if we have animals that share the space in the garden, they must also be in the conditions we have discussed so far.

      Anyway, the garden just like the patio, these should be places that are extensions of the house and whose upkeep “speaks of their owners”.

      I take this opportunity to present my new book Visual Stress, whose content speaks of “How we feel about order and disorder”, available on Amazon, in paperback and eBook versions, in Spanish.

      It will be available in English soon, and I will gladly let my dear readers know.

      Until next time.
