Whenever I feel stuck in a rut, I find solace in acquiring a new houseplant. This usually happens when I sense an accumulation of stagnant energy around me. Many people can easily detect this kind of vibe—emotionally, you might feel stuck, bored, frustrated, or discouraged. This stale energy often manifests physically as well—the phone never rings, loved ones and pets seem irritable, and bills arrive long before the money to pay them does.

The Connection Between Nature and Well-being

When you find yourself trapped in a chronic pattern,The Enchanting Power of Houseplants Articles it often means that your personality has temporarily disconnected from your higher self. Traditionally, the quickest way to reconnect with your higher self is to spend time in nature. In my opinion, a half-hour spent by a stream or pool can do more for your body and soul than hundreds of dollars worth of self-help books, years of psychotherapy, or a prescription for Prozac. However, once you return home, you might find yourself emotionally and spiritually dragged down again by the dull and oppressive vibes in your environment. The spiritual remedy for this is to bring a bit of nature inside to elevate the vibrations in your home. Plants naturally have a connection to higher realms that you can access just by having them in your energy field.

Specific Houseplants and Their Unique Powers

Different houseplants have specific influences and powers. For instance:

  • Protection: Aloe vera, cactus, fern, ivy, or a Venus Flytrap near your entrances and exits can offer protection.
  • Prosperity: If you're seeking financial abundance, consider an African Violet with a coin beneath the pot. However, African Violets are high maintenance. For a low-maintenance option, try a palm tree or ivy plant, which are also thought to attract prosperity.
  • Beauty and Pleasant Dreams: Placing a crocus by your bed can enhance your beauty and bring pleasant dreams.

The Magic of Roses

Nothing lifts the spirits and raises the vibrations in your home quite like roses. Traditionally associated with compassionate female deities such as The Virgin Mary, Quan Yin, and Aphrodite, roses can have a profound impact. I like to buy a rose (or a bouquet of roses) and recite the following poem by Elizabeth Clare Prophet:

"As a rose unfolding fair, Wafts her fragrance on the air, I pour forth to God devotion, One now with the cosmic ocean."

I visualize my entire home being filled with pink, violet, or white light. Before I know it, the phone is ringing off the hook, I'm paid, and there's a new Prince Charming at the door. Sure, he might not have money or a place to live, but nature abhors a vacuum and fills it with someone.
