Cactus are fatty plants highly appreciated from an ornamental point of view, but apparently, as well as beautiful, they are therapeutic. To say it is the Feng Shui, from “Vento” (Feng) and “Water” (Shui), the ancient Chinese discipline that teaches to live in harmony with domestic environments, making them a place of physical and mental well -being. To do this, Feng Shui works on the Qi, vital energy, trying to balance the energies of the living environment with those of nature.
But how the cactus, according to this famous discipline, contribute to harmonizing domestic environments? On the one hand, thanks to their “Yang” energy, shared with all the plants, to which the ability to clean the house and neutralize the negative energies, on the other, thanks to the thorns are attributed. The latter would in fact serve to protect the environment from unwanted or negative external interference. And their power is such as to guarantee the same protection for those who live nearby. In short, cactus symbolically is assimilable to a real guardian! In addition, thorns encourage people to go beyond their limits and teach the importance of no, when necessary.
A’Further quality of cactus It is due to the water it stored inside. The water, in Feng-Shui, is one of the five fundamental elements, symbol of feelings, of death and rebirth, permeated with yin energy. Passive, accommodation, purifying, adaptable, resistant, it is very strong even if it appears weak. It is symbolically associated with the flow of life, thoughts and words, the unconscious and interiority. Here then that cactus, containing large quantities of this element, helps us to familiarize yourself with our inner strength and with our emotions.
But precisely by virtue of his immense power, it is one “double -edged” plantnot surprisingly considered by some popular auspicious popular traditions. In fact, the thorns resemble small pointed arrows, which “shoot” energy directly in the surrounding space. And that, consequently, can cause a state of irritability. For this reason, the plant should not be placed near the delicate body parts, for example in correspondence with the face, or in front of the sofa or an armchair. On the other hand, if in the office protects from the radiation of electronic devicesit is better to place it on the ground and not on the table.
Excellent idea of fixing i Cactus on the balconyin the garden, in front of the door of the house or near the windows, by virtue of their protective power. To avoid the kitchen and the dining room, where positive energies break creating a restless atmosphere. The same recommendation applies to the bedroom, because cactus does not reconcile good rest, unlike plants with rounded leaves.
In room It spreads Sha Qi, sharp energy. It is a negative energy conveyed, among other things, by pointed objects that protect themselves in space, such as thorns. In the conception of Feng Shui the so -called qi, vital energy, is divided into various types: we speak of Sheng Qi if it brings harmony, and of Sha Qi if it creates a disturbance.
In short, cactus is a plant that can offer a lot in terms of protection, but which can prove harmful if placed in the wrong rooms. Word of Feng Shui!
