Feng Shui is the ancient Chinese art of space arrangement, that uses universal principles and the laws of nature to determine how to organize your environment for the energy to flow in the right cycle for your overall health, happiness and prosperity.

Flowers are very powerful Feng Shui cure and have been used for centuries to uplift the chi of a home. They are also believed to being in good luck, healing and numerous blessings. Each color of flower has specific meaning in Feng Shui.

For example, red flowers represent passion and emotion; orange, warmth and conversation; yellow, truth and friendship; green, growth and vitality; white, innocence and purity; purple, spirituality and faith; blue, clarity and relaxation.

Listing out a few of my favorite blooms and their symbolism:

Orchids: Orchids signify purity and fertility, and they enhance career success. Put a spray of purple phalaenopsis in your home office, your meditation space or your family room for grace, harmony and progress. In a living room, the orchid bestows family luck and harmony.

Chrysanthemums: Chrysanthemums represent the sun. They symbolize happiness and joy. The golden yellow color flowers bring into your home the energy similar to the happy, life-giving energy brought by the sun.

Roses: Roses symbolize love and passion. The pink and red color roses have been used for centuries to symbolize love and marriage, a Feng Shui symbol. The peach colored ones represent comfort and stability, while the yellow roses bring hope into your home and nourish the spirit.

Tulips : Tulips symbolize endurance. They are also believed to bring in good luck, especially in one’s career. If you want to use it as a career Feng Shui cure, place them on the north corner of your living room.

Lilies: The lily is  considered to represent acquired wealth. They are also believed to have strong protective and cleansing vibrations.
