Water is one of the most auspicious elements we can add to our outdoor garden setting. Whenever we have garden water features we must be careful to direct the water flow so it is a benign influence rather then a destructive or troublesome one. Feng Shui is an excellent philosophy to use when designing a garden. Fortunately, the techniques of Feng Shui are aesthetically appealing to most everyone, even those who may not be aware of the techniques used. Many larger gardens have some sort of stream or pool of water. A moving stream of water is an excellent accumulator of Chi energy. When we have a moving source of water we will want to ensure that it takes a winding meandering course through our garden. Such a winding course resembles a dragon which is one of the strongest creatures in Asian philosophy representing good luck and triumph over demons. We may also find a gentle curving stream much more relaxing and pleasant then a straight swiftly moving one. In some situations we cannot alter the water flow or volume of a stream for practical reasons. In such situations we can use outdoor fountains , garden statues and other accents to purify the energy created by the moving water. Ornamental stones placed on either side of a river or stream where it enters the property are called 'guardian stones'. These protective stones indicate that the water is entering an area meant to benign, peaceful and beneficial for those who dwell there. A bridge or stepping stones across a stream will energetically slow the water flow and enable the stream to distribute beneficial energy into the garden, rather then carry it away. Practically, such accents also enable visitors to cross the water and become much closer and more intimate with it then standing on the shore would be. The point at which water exits off your property is an important one. Water exit points should have things like plants, trees and even lanterns which acknowledge the exiting water, but also make a statement lamenting and respecting it's exit. Never try to dam or prevent the water exiting, just say thank you for it's presence and the benefits it has left behind with some nice stones, flowers or small garden statues. |
