In feng shui, the wood element represents upward growth, strength, vitality, and flexibility that is grounded and anchored to the earth.
Symbolically, the wood element is represented by a growing tree or plant that grows upward and outward with deep roots growing into the earth.
When you think of personal growth, sustainability, and leaving a legacy, you’re thinking about the earth element!
Live plants and tall indoor trees are one way to add the wood element to your home, but that isn’t always practical in your space.
While you can use high-quality fake plants, they can trap stagnant Chi and become dirty or dusty relatively quickly.
So how do you activate the feng shui wood element if plants aren’t practical? By adding feng shui wood element crystals instead!
The feng shui wood element crystals are those that fall into the green color family.
Green crystals are associated with growth, vitality, health, good fortune, and abundance, in addition to their individual meanings.
The following is a list of the most common wood element crystals and a brief description of their meanings, but if you have a green crystal that isn’t on the list, it is also included!
Bonus tip: all of these wood element crystals can be used near your houseplants to increase and amplify their properties and also help your plants grow! See this post for more info: Crystals for Plants: 11 Healing Crystals for Indoor Plants
