The East represents family, ancestors, community and new beginnings. It is also supported by the energy of the wood element.

It’s a great place to intentionally place healthy living plants with upward growth, such as the lucky bamboo, jade or orchid here. Add family crest, portraits or a gallery wall of family, friends and community here or you could place intentional artwork and objects that represent family and new beginnings to you or vibrant woodlands, forests and trees to support the expansive energy of the wood element to support growth in these areas of your life.
