Feng Shui Tree of Life: Meaning, Benefits, Placement

Like Chinese astrology, Feng Shui is not a radical practice that seeks at all costs to encourage you to revolutionize your interior decoration and the use of your rooms each year. From the moment you respect the basic rules of Feng Shui, namely impeccable hygiene and a fluid and never stagnant circulation of the energies of your home, all that remains is to make adjustments.

In this perspective, Feng Shui objects have the function of activating or neutralizing certain sectors of the house by taking into account both immutable data (your birth Kua number and that of your house) and variable data (the current Kua year and the flying stars of the year).

Among the most common Feng Shui objects, we can note the Feng Shui chimes, which can be made of bamboo (activation of the Wood element) or Metal (activation of the Metal element) and whose number of rods has a meaning own, terracotta sculptures (activation of the Earth element), lamps (activation of the Fire element), bonsai-type plants and shrubs (activation of the Wood element) or even fountains and aquariums (activation of the Water element).

Spiritual meaning and benefits of the tree of life

Derived from bonsai, the Feng Shui tree of life is a symbol of strength, luck, protection, fertility and growth. The three parts of the tree - roots, trunk and crown - are associated with earth, man and sky. The roots represent a solid anchor for life, a solid foundation on which everything can be built. The trunk represents man who plays a crucial role as a link between earth and heaven. The crown, on the other hand, symbolizes the development and flourishing of life. As such, the Feng Shui tree has the benefit of contributing to the harmonization of the circulation of Ki (or "Life Force", also spelled Chi or Ch'i) within the house or office.

What elements can a Feng Shui tree be associated with?

Unlike the bonsai, a Wood element object par excellence, the Feng Shui tree of life is a decorative artificial object which, if it retains the appearance of a shrub, no longer has its main intrinsic virtues. A true vector of energy amplification, twisted copper wire is commonly used to simulate the roots, trunk and branches of the Feng Shui tree. Rock crystals and other semi-precious stones are used to decorate the branches, like so many multicolored and sparkling leaves and flowers. The base of the Feng Shui tree can be a rough stone or a disc of quartz or amethyst.

The Feng Shui tree is therefore mainly Wood (by its shape) and Metal (by its essence). These two elements being antagonistic, KarmaWeather advises you to favor black or blue epoxy resin bases. This Water element energy supplement will rebalance the energy pool of the sculpture.

Therefore, your choice of the colors of the crystals that complete the decoration of your Feng Shui tree can be made with regard to the properties that you wish to develop in the area of your house or your office where you intend to place it.

Which stones to choose for a Feng Shui tree of life?

All types of crystals and semi-precious stones can be used to adorn a Feng Shui tree. In lithotherapy, the energy properties attributed to stones often have a strong cultural and religious dimension, which does not allow us to establish universal virtues. However, when it comes to Feng Shui and the Asian tradition, we can still establish a list of crystals commonly used in the decoration of the trees of life. Of course, the ornamental energy stones of the Feng Shui trees of life can be combined with each other in order to further personalize the desired effects.
