IN THE ANCIENT Chinese art of Feng Shui, there are certain objects that can be used to enhance the positive flow of energy. They can be placed at different areas of your home or offices. The lucky bamboo plant is one of our favourite choices for Feng Shui cures. These bamboo are believed to bring positivity and prosperity to your life.
The lucky bamboo got its name as it is believed to attract abundance in many areas of life. Among the Chinese, the Lucky Bamboo is known as Fu Gwey Zhu, signifying:
- Fu - luck and fortune
- Gwey - power and honor
- Zhu – Bamboo
It will bring even more fortune when you receive it as a gift. Seen as a beacon of good energy, when well-taken care of the lucky bamboo will grow into a central décor in your home or garden.
Like any object in Feng Shui, the right placement of lucky bamboo plant is absolutely crucial in order to reap maximum results. A lucky bamboo that is placed in the right position can get you tons of positive energy. In general, there are two popular positions:
- East: when bamboo plant is placed in Eastern side, it is meant to attract health benefits to you and your family.
- South-East: the South-East well-known as a zone of wealth and money, so we recommend to place your lucky bamboo in the South-Eastern section of your home or office if you wish to strengthen your finances and attract wealth.
