Lucky Bamboo has long been associated with the Eastern practice of Feng Shui - or the bringing of natural elements of water, fire, earth, wood and metal into balance within the environment. Lucky Bamboo is believed to be an ideal example of the thriving wood and water element, with the addition of a red ribbon sometimes tied around the stalks - which is believed to "fire" the positive flow of energy or chi in the room.
Why is Lucky Bamboo Considered Lucky???
Bamboo in itself is an amazing plant that brings a very peaceful and wise energy into our home. It teaches the ultimate wisdom: how to be flexible and hollow (open) on the inside, so that the spirit can freely flow and heal your being.
It also reflects the five elements of nature:
Wood - the Bamboo itself
Earth - the Rocks the Bamboo grows in
Water - the Water the Bamboo grows with
Fire - most pots usually have a red ribbon tied to them
Metal - the glass pots belong to the feng shui Metal element. If the Feng Shui Lucky Bamboo is planted in a pot other than glass, such as clay or ceramics, it will usually have either a metal coin, or a metal figurine with it.
Usually you will buy (or make) this feng shui cure with a specific number of bamboo stalks, most popular ones being:
2 for Love and Marriage
3 for Happiness
5 for Health
8 for Wealth and Abundance
9 for Good Fortune
