simple shui | bring joy home

did you know objects of nature are a wonder pack of energy?

feng shui believes they shore up replenishing vibes in our space, and it’s this energy that blesses us with longer lives. nature objects include (but are certainly not limited to) trees, plants, shells, crystals, driftwood, quartz, and rocks.

incorporating any of these into a home is a simple enough pursuit.

rocks are one of my favorites as they are the perfect pairing with trees and plants.

rocks have a calming, grounding quality. they keep soil from drying out too quickly, especially outdoors. and they add an element of texture and marvel to any space.

we collect them on trips whenever an opportunity presents itself. and around our home today, we have rocks from some of our favorite getaways, including hawaii, france, florida, california, wyoming, and utah. they each possess their own lustrous and unique hues, unspooling delightful memories from our travels. and the year the lovelies were born, i bought a box of rocks with words engraved on the surface. ten years later, i still use them everywhere.

we have amassed quite a collection. we keep our supply in a big sturdy box with easy access so we can dial up the energy in a space whenever the whim hits. as you muse on the summer months ahead, consider looking for a few rocks of your own. make them a focal point in your space, embracing all the joy nature provides. when we invite nature in, we give our souls a very good home.
