5 Houseplants That Bring Good Luck

Bamboo

Feng shui dictates that each arrangement of bamboo stalks in vases of water (with stones to anchor) has a specific meaning. For happiness, longevity and wealth — 3 stalks. For wealth — 5 stalks. Good Luck — 6 stalks. 7 stalks for health, 8 for growth, and 10 for completions. A large arrangement of 21 stalks is believed to bring blessings of enduring health and great wealth.

Money Tree

The money tree is another plant used in feng shui and is believed to bring good luck and wealth. Money trees are often braided together when the plants are young and tender. It is said that 3-5 five braided plants are needed for the best results. Avoid having four money tree plants in one home as this is said to be unlucky.

Hawaiian Ti

Early Polynesians believed the Ti plant had mystical powers. Ti plants come in a variety of colors, ranging from greens to pink, burgundy and fuchsia. When grown in the home, these plants are said to bring good fortune to all residing there. If Ti plants are grown with two stalks in one pot, luck and love is said to be doubled.

What is the most spiritual oil?

Here are some of the essential oils most commonly used to promote spirituality: For cleansing and purifying: Angelica, anise, balsam fir, cedarwood, cypress, eucalyptus, juniper, lemon, lemon tea tree, myrrh, opoponax, peppermint, spearmint, and white sage.

Spirituality is a universal human experience that connects us to or brings us into greater harmony with the present moment, the self, nature, or the divine. Many find that spirituality is intricately associated with religion while others consider it a separate and broader concept associated with behavior, emotions, and philosophies that involve the search for transcendent meaning. Aromatic essences and incense (aromatic resins and gums, such as frankincense and balsam) have been used in spiritual pursuits for as long as we have a record of them. In ancient Egypt, large quantities of incense were burned every day in temples as an offering to the gods. The Bible contains many references to the burning of incense as an integral part of sacred ceremonies, and the precious aromatic botanicals frankincense and myrrh were offered to the Christ child by wise men. More than a dozen aromatic botanicals are referenced in the Old and New Testament books of the Bible, many of which are distilled into the essential oils we still use today: aloeswood, calamus, cassia, cinnamon, cistus, cypress, fir, frankincense, galbanum, hyssop, juniper, myrrh, myrtle, onycha, pine, saffron, sandalwood, and spikenard. Similarly, the ancient Romans, Greeks, Persians, Indians, and Chinese all used aromatic essences for a variety of purposes, including religious rituals. Some religions continue this practice of using aromatic botanicals during religious services in temples and household altars.
