A way to bring nature into our environments
Feng Shui is a practice that connects our homes with nature and its cycles. One way to bring this into our homes is to incorporate symbols of the natural elements, including trees.
And the crystal trees they are just that, decorative objects reminiscent of small trees. They are made of metal wire, like gold or copper, with semi-precious crystals for the leaves. They also have the shape of the jade plant, which can represent prosperity and good luck.
Many practitioners also like to use crystals as Feng Shui objects because of their energetic properties and because they are beautiful tools of intention.
Symbolism of the tree in Feng Shui
The trees are connected to the wooden element, one of the five elements worked in Feng shui. Each embodies certain qualities and the wood is related to kindness, flexibility and growth.
If these are qualities you would like to cultivate in your life, you may want to bring more wood elements into your space.
Because they bear fruit, trees also represent abundance, nourishment, and things that come to fruition. Just think of how a large apple tree can feed and support so many people: fruit species invite an abundance mentality, because the generosity they produce encourages sharing.
How to take care of your crystal tree
Like any feng shui item, it is important to take care of your crystal tree. This means clean it often and make sure it is not overlooked. The shape of these objects helps with the accumulation of dust, so you should take care of them often and clean the dirt.
