The magical power of plants
Since ancient times, people have known that all plants have special energy. They are able to give vitality and relieve their “owners” of negative emotions. Many trees and flowers even act as talismans, allowing you to bring your wishes closer to fulfillment.
Scientists explain the magical power of plants by special electromagnetic fields emanating from them. In their opinion, these fields come into resonance with human biofields, due to which his energy is strengthened.
That is why not a single summer cottage can do without vegetation. Mighty large trees, lush bushes, bright flowers - all these plants will protect your country house, fill it with energy, cleanse the surrounding space and create comfort in your quiet abode far from the city.

A wooden windmill and ears of wheat are attributes that attract money. The windmill can be attached to the lower branch of a tree. The simple device consists of bamboo sticks suspended on thin threads. At the slightest breath of wind, the pendulum strikes the sticks, creating a melodious ringing. This is how “wind energy” is born.
A wooden mill symbolizes financial well-being
Amazing properties of trees
Before choosing the trees that you want to plant on your site, it is worth getting acquainted with their beneficial properties from an energy point of view. Each tree is truly unique!
For example, acacia will be an excellent choice for those who are thinking about procreation. This tree symbolizes the beginning of life and can help couples who have problems conceiving. The only condition is that you must ask for help from this tree together!
The beautiful Russian birch is called the “tree of life” for a reason. It can heal sick people, ward off depression and anxiety, and fill a person with vitality. If you plant a birch tree in your summer cottage, you will not only improve your well-being, but also get rid of bad and disturbing dreams.
Elm is a good choice if the owner of the plot is a man. This male tree will always be ready to share its energy with the owner, but only if he has a truly strong character. Elm does not like weaklings, lazy people and irresponsible people, so if you are frivolous, do not choose it as the patron of your country house.
According to Feng Shui, strong spirit and courageous people are also advised to choose an oak tree This tree will give its owner longevity and health, and will also strengthen his heart and nervous system, but, like the elm, it does not tolerate mental weakness. Experts in harmonizing space recommend planting this tree to those who are engaged in political, journalistic, legal or advocacy work.
Many people are very fond of the traditional green beauty - spruce. tree on a plot would be appropriate for any family, and especially for those owners who feel a breakdown in autumn and winter. This wonderful tree, associated with the New Year holidays, will send positive energy into space at any time of the year, because when deciduous trees “sleep”, the spruce does not lose its bright “outfit”.
If the owner of the plot is a woman, you should think about planting willow , since it is considered the most “feminine” tree, bringing the energy of balance and harmony. Unlike some other trees, willow does not emphasize the human understanding of good and evil, and always obeys only the laws of nature.
But the powerful chestnut , it turns out, does not know how to share its energy with the owners of the site. Its only useful property is the removal of accumulated negative emotions from a person who turns to him for help.
Male owners can plant cypress . The wife of such an owner will be especially lucky, since cypress, as a truly masculine tree, conveys to the head of the family balance, internal harmony, strength to achieve his goals, and also brings novelty to his family.
Maple is the tree of tranquility. If your work involves public speaking and frequent decision-making, a maple tree planted on your property will help you relieve anxiety and calm down.
The magical properties of larch are to rid a person of fears, phobias, doubts, depression and melancholy. Such a tree will open up the positive aspects of life for its owner and charge him with positivity.
Juniper cannot be called “man’s friend” because it does not know how to remove negativity from people. However, it works great with things. It is better to choose it for those people whose country house has a lot of antiques and old things, as well as for those who did not build the cottage with their own hands, but bought it ready-made: juniper will cleanse the negativity accumulated from the previous owners.
, alder should be planted in large families, since this tree is the patron of the family hearth. The more family ties you have, the more energy the alder grown on your property will give you.
If you hold a management position, pay attention to hazel . He will help you examine the situation from an objective perspective and suggest the right solution to difficult issues.
Aspen is a very energetic tree. It perfectly absorbs negative energy, but only in a home where they treat it with respect and believe in its powers. Everyone who has planted an aspen needs to carefully care for this tree and communicate with it.
Career women should pay attention to rowan . She patronizes representatives of the stronger sex who spend a lot of time at work.
pine on a property is an excellent choice for any owner. A beautiful and evergreen pine can give a person spiritual harmony, relieve stress and relieve all sorts of worries.
Despite the fact that many people do not like poplar fluff, poplar has two beneficial properties. Firstly, it removes negative energy, like a sponge, absorbing it into itself. And secondly, it cleans the environment.
bird cherry in their garden . This tree is very fond of young people and romance, and also knows how to heal emotional wounds.
A couple in love should “settle” a rose hip on the property. He patronizes emotional attachments and brings tenderness, warmth and mutual understanding into the couple’s relationship.
Another feminine symbol is the apple tree . She gives the fair sex a special sensuality. But, like the willow, this tree obeys only the laws of nature, so it makes no sense to talk to it about everyday problems.
Ash is a very strong representative of the flora, but you need to be extremely careful with it. The owner of such a tree, who turns to him for help, will have the curtain of the future lifted, but for this, most likely, he will have to pay with his own mental strength, a feeling of emptiness and fatigue. Therefore, ash should be planted only by those who have great energy potential and regularly engage in spiritual practices.
Lighting
It’s not enough to create a harmonious garden; it also needs to be illuminated favorably, emphasizing good moments and placing accents. In addition to conventional lamps of different heights, natural fire is used in Feng Shui of an area.
Lanterns, candles – it’s impossible to live without them. By installing them around the perimeter, near paths and stone compositions, in the dark you can continue to admire the garden from anywhere in the space. Closed lanterns are suitable for water surfaces where they can float lit. For gazebos and pergolas, miniature light bulbs hanging from the roof are used. And in the evening, an open-air fireplace will unite the whole family or a group of friends.
Having considered the features of Feng Shui design, you are armed with everything you need to create an energetically harmonious area. All that remains is to apply the knowledge in practice. And as a result, not only the result, but the process itself will set you in a peaceful mood, increasing positivity in all areas of life.
How to arrange plants on a plot according to Feng Shui
According to Feng Shui, the arrangement of plants on the site should be fully consistent with the special magical Bagua square. This square will divide the surrounding space into nine zones, each of which corresponds to one living area.
When all the flora of a summer cottage is planted correctly, the plants will work for the benefit of their owner, charging the surrounding space with positive energy and destroying negative energy. The Bagua grid can be downloaded on the Internet, and then simply overlaid on the garden plan so that all cardinal directions correspond to their real location (this can be checked with a compass).
The most important point when using the Bagua grid is the real perception of their possessions by their owner. If, for example, a person considers his country house and the plot on which it is located to be a single whole, then the grid is superimposed on it entirely. If the site is divided into zones, for example, a residential and recreation area, then it would be more correct to use a square in each of the zones separately.
North – career area
The northern part of the site is responsible for a person’s work and career advancement. According to the rules of Feng Shui, this part should be visible to surrounding people passing by the site. You shouldn’t install a blind fence here; on the contrary, it’s better to open this part as much as possible and make it elegant and eye-catching.
In the quarry area, it is recommended to plant bright flowers of different colors, and the best tree to choose is hazel, as it will help the owner of a country estate achieve significant success in his work.
South-West - zone of family and marriage
In this part of the garden it is best to plant rose hips - a shrub responsible for feelings and emotions, as well as white and red roses.
Planting those flowers that a man gave to his woman during the candy-bouquet period will also strengthen the relationship. With a properly equipped love zone, the relationship in a couple will always be strong and the marriage will always be happy.
East – family zone
This part of the site should unite all relatives who spend time in this country house. Ask each family member to choose the flowers that he likes best and arrange beautiful, bright flower beds that will please the eyes of all your family and friends.
Health issues are also associated with the family zone, so you can plant medicinal herbs here.
Of the trees in terms of energy, alder and birch are most suitable for the eastern part of the site.
Southeast - zone of wealth
In the southeastern area of the garden, which is responsible for material wealth, it is best to “settle” plants of orange and yellow colors, surrounding them with silver or golden decorative elements - then the well-being of the owners will improve every day.
You can also choose flowers in blue, as it will fill this part of the garden with the energy of water. You can place garden sculptures or some other decorative items in the southeast that you will associate with financial well-being. The main thing is not to overdo it with their quantity!
Center – zone of luck
This part of the site must be treated with special attention, since patron plants should “live” here. You can familiarize yourself with the Druid horoscope or the flower horoscope and determine your patrons from the world of flora in order to properly arrange the center of your possessions.
If there are several owners of the plot, or if relatives and family members often vacation here, take a look at their horoscope to find worthy neighbors for your plants.
North-West - zone of teachers and friends
As the name implies, this part of the garden, if properly arranged, will attract loyal friends and experienced mentors into your life.
Feng Shui experts recommend setting up a recreation area here: putting up a gazebo, grill or barbecue, creating an area for active games, and also decorating the space with a rock garden or rock garden.

The West is a zone of children and creativity

Bright flowers will help you with this, pleasing to the eye and bringing inspiration and, of course, tulips - a symbol of motherhood and fatherhood. The best tree to choose is acacia.
If space allows, arrange in this area a playground, a swimming pool for children, a trampoline, or any corner where the little guests of your property will have fun and interesting time.
Northeast - knowledge zone
The best option in this part of the site would be an orchard - it will help to activate this vital area. An excellent choice would be fruit trees and a small bench, gazebo or rocking chair, where you can sit comfortably in the shade with your favorite book.
If you have already planted fruit trees in another area, it doesn’t matter. You can place ash, pine, maple or any other plants in the northeast that remove negative energy and clear your mind of bad thoughts.
