Mood-Boosting Flowers for Inspiration & Happiness

Flowers have a unique power to make you feel happy, loved and inspired. Their beauty and healing energy naturally lifts your mood, often relieving anxiety, depression and loneliness.  Flowers have been used as emissaries of emotion for centuries saying “I love you,” “Get well,” or “Congratulations.” In addition to sending them to loved ones, you can display them for yourself to stimulate a specific energetic response. Their healing power is naturally transmitted into the air as well as when you smell, see or touch them.

From a feng shui standpoint, you can arrange specific flowers in each room of the home to create the energy you desire.  If you feel sick, you can place a bouquet for “Energy and Vitality” in your kitchen. Feel unmotivated? Place a bouquet for “Success and Abundance” in your office. If you want to ignite romance, place a bouquet for “Love and Passion” in your bedroom.

Using different colors and shapes, below you’ll find flower suggestions to boost energy in specific areas by arranging them intentionally in each room. Also, remember that the fragrance positively affects your heart, brain and nervous system. Some favorite aromatic flowers include Stargazers, Tuberose, Freesia, Stock, Rose and Gardenia. Using essential oil diffusers will also bring the therapeutic aromas into your rooms.

When you go into a flower shop or market, you can also use your intuition to choose the color and shape that will bring you joy!
