Cloud-like blossoms floating upon a curvilinear repose, where the orchid finds home, its beauty envelopes the space it inhabits and transforms it into an oasis of calm.

If our homes mirror what we wish to be, then the orchid brightens our outlook on life and gives us a sense of a positive future. Known as a symbol of perfection and elegance, an orchid’s presence fosters thoughts of integrity, nobility and cultivating meaningful friendships. If you wish to bring a new relationship into your life, cleanse the air of toxins, want to have a large family or wishing to gift a loved one, the orchid is your ally in your cause.

Looking for a partner? Qualities like refined and elegant will serve you in seeking a mate. Adding the color of the Relationship gua – a pink or purple orchid to this corner – and you have the golden ticket to reaching your relationship desires. But wait there is more…

Want cleaner air? Natural air purifying agents, orchids, especially the Dendrobium orchid improves air quality by stripping airborne xylene and other chemical solvents that are found in cleaning agents, paint supplies and exhausts.

Does anxiety keep you up at night? Besides elevating the oxygen levels in your bedroom, having an orchid there, especially at night, has a positive and relaxing effect. Our worry seems to melt away. Panic attacks and insomnia are virtually non existent.

Desire a large family? Among its qualities of love, beauty, refinement, mature charm, an orchid represents many children. So add an orchid to your bedroom. From Natural Orchid Boutique: the Greek’s believed the orchid is associated with virility. Greek women believed that if the father of their unborn child ate new, large orchid tubers, the baby would be a boy. If the mother ate small orchid tubers, she would give birth to a girl.

Pressured at work? A low ceiling or beam in your home may create low blood pressure, feeling suppressed and unsupported and anxious about future events before they happen. An orchid’s grace, calm and beauty has the Ch’i to lift the occupants’s spirits and this enables them to feel hopeful about their lives. If you have the sense that you are oppressed by your ceiling, place a healthy orchid in that room.

Seeking a gift that celebrates life’s precious moments? Orchids make a wonderful greeting flower. Though roses have been traditionally given as a gift, orchids have enduring qualities which makes them more suitable. Their loveliness cultivates affection and a a sense of security longer than any other floral gift.

Searching for the right color? Here is what each orchid color means.

Red orchids were a flower that enhanced the Aztec’s power and strength. It was their practice to concoct an elixir of chocolate and orchids. Among their many qualities can be added determination, courage, perseverance, desire, passion, and love. Gifting a red orchid to your beloved displays your deep admiration.

Pink orchids signify grace, gentleness, innocence, happiness, playfulness and fertility. In addition to being a wonderful choice for attracting the right partner (see above), they help growing families and expectant mothers celebrate the arrival of their child. Pink orchids are also a great addition to the trimmings for baby showers, baptisms, and even weddings.

White orchids are emblematic of purity, faith, humility, safety, elegance, innocence, and beauty. They are an elegant choice for a wedding floral, in an display in a place of worship or spiritual devotion or to enjoy their symmetry in your home (see above how they relieve anxiety).

Purple orchids have been a symbol of dignity since the Victorian age. The upper class of the 18th century greatly admired their breathtaking blooms and would grow them in their greenhouses. They represent authority, dignity, and royalty. Gifting a friend purple orchids will show your adoration towards the recipient. Besides pink, purple is the color choice to attract the partner who is right for you.

Yellow orchids are happy, and optimistic. Yellow orchids represent friendship, new beginnings, and joy. It is perfect bloom to send to long-distance friends, applaud a new beginning in a close friends’s life or spread hopefulness.

Orange aligns with creativity, excitement, sunshine, and success. Enthusiasm, courage and self-regard are also symbols of the orange orchid. Is a friend  planning a new journey or are you receiving a promotion at work? Bring an immediate boost and inspired look to your office or home.

Green orchids bring auspiciousness and luck. Placing a green orchid in a black planter will bring good fortune, good health and a long life. Sending them to family and friends is a powerful good deed that will boost the effectiveness of your Feng Shui. In the Japanese culture displaying a green orchid in your home or office is believed to bring good fortune into your life and career.

Every wondered how intention works?  “Your brain is not a computer. Your brain is a dynamic system that evolves its patterns of activity rather than computes them like a computer. It thrives on the creative energy of feedback from experiences real or fictional. You can synthesize experience; literally create it in your own imagination. The human brain cannot tell the difference between an “actual” experience and an experience imagined vividly and in detail. This discovery is what enabled Albert Einstein to create his thought experiments with imaginary scenarios that led to his revolutionary ideas about space and time. One day, for example, he imagined falling love. Then he imagined meeting the woman he fell in love with two weeks after he fell in love. This led to his theory of a causality. The same process of synthesizing experience allowed Walt Disney to bring his fantasies to life.” When you place your cures on your altar your intention and visualization transform them into sacred objects.
