ROSES AND FENG SHUI















The pictures of the lovely roses were taken at Cameron Highlands. My mum who was not feeling well when we started our journey from Ipoh, suddenly became better at the sight of the lovely roses and she had an enjoyable time admiring the ones grown at the Rose Valley.
Read about what roses symbolise in Feng Shui:
Long-stemmed red roses are a traditional and very romantic
expression of Love and romance. Feng Shui suggests that when
cut flowers begin to wilt and are no longer bright, remove
them. When not fresh and new they cease to represent the Chi
of love in relationship. Live roses offer an advantage.
Live roses are just that: living - in a state of expansion.
This energy is alluring and exciting. A live rose (i.e. roots
attached, in soil) represents not only the beauty of a loving,
romantic relationship but also its growth. A live rose may be
planted outdoors to continue the energy of love, growth, and
expansion over the coming seasons.
Set an intention about the type of growth your live rose will
encourage. Growth from a casual relationship to one more
focused? Growth within a committed relationship to expand
Love and the desire to raise each other up? Growth within a
waning relationship to elevate compassion and honor
individuality? A deepening Self-Love to attract the perfect
relationship? Form an intention that feels right for you,
each of you. Create a ritual around your intention, light two
candles, and write it down.
The rose is a perfect metaphor for relationship. Attracted by
the blossom, we see potential. Move closer and the fragrance
envelopes us. We spend time becoming familiar, getting closer,
enjoying the beauty... color... scent. The image in our
mind's eye fills us with Joy.
As we spend more time delighting in the journey of our
relationship we notice thorns. Ouch? Not necessarily. If we
continue to pay attention we become more comfortable; the
thorns being apparent are harmless. Our awareness is
heightened. Touch and embrace relationship thoughtfully,
mindfully, lovingly - aware of the thorns and the beauty.
Remain grateful for the contrast.
