Superstitions and signs about Ficus Benjamin

Every home has its own energy. It can be nourished or destroyed. It is influenced to a greater extent by the mood and behavior of people.

Any hostility has a bad effect on all the inhabitants of the house, just as positive emotions not only lift our spirits, but also strengthen our protective energy channels.

Plants also have their own energy and it also depends on what is happening around them. Plants also influence our biofield, so before buying a new indoor flower, be curious whether it will help you or mercilessly weaken your aura.

And, according to the ancient Chinese teachings of Feng Shui, in order to harmonize the atmosphere in the house and create a favorable microclimate in it, plants must still be correctly arranged.

Is it possible to keep it at home?

The attitude towards this plant of the Eastern and Slavic peoples differs significantly. If the former considered ficus a symbol of happiness in family life, then the latter called it a witchcraft tree that brings trouble. Let’s take a closer look at the attitude of various nationalities towards ficus:

• The Chinese perceived the ficus as a family plant, which was presented as a gift for weddings, birthdays, and also passed on to descendants. If you believe the beliefs, it helped cleanse the room of negative energy, gave people vigor and physical activity, which made it an ideal option for older people.
• The Thais also considered the ficus a sacred plant and were confident that it could ward off evil spirits. It is the Benjamin ficus that is the symbol tree of Bangkok, the capital of Thailand. And another variety of it became the personification of the island country of Barbados and was depicted on the state’s coat of arms.
• Slavic peoples attributed magical properties to the wax leaves of ficus Benjamin, endowing the plant with the ability to cause discord in families, provoke conflicts and lead to separation. Ficus Benjamin also acted as a muzhegon - it acquired such properties in the post-war period, when most of the families where the tree grew lost men who died at the front.
• The Bible speaks favorably . Thus, one of its varieties served as the first robe for Eve and Adam, and the fruits of another type (namely figs) served as their first food after the latter were expelled from Paradise.

The meaning of ficus benjamina

An adult plant with a lush green crown cleanses the air well of toxic substances and saturates it with oxygen. This property is especially valuable for residents of megacities, where the environmental situation is not always favorable. In addition, ficus has a bacteriostatic effect: it kills almost half of the pathogens in the air. Therefore, a pot with this plant must be in every home where small children or people with weakened immune systems live.

In addition to its cleansing properties, the importance of Ficus Benjamin for the home is manifested in its ability to improve the energy of the home. It is a kind of transformer of the emotional state of all family members, neutralizing tension and turning negative thoughts into positive ones. This flower is indispensable in those homes where there is an atmosphere of alienation or hostility, where quarrels and conflicts are frequent.

People's opinions differ regarding what Benjamin's ficus symbolizes. The Chinese consider ornamental trees to be an effective means of attracting money. In Thailand, the flower is considered a talisman against natural disasters, as well as against damage and the evil eye. Egyptians carefully observe the traditions of their ancestors, placing this plant in every home, which, in their opinion, brings well-being and prosperity. And only in Russia and other countries with Slavic culture, ficus is treated with prejudice, considering it, along with ivy, an energy vampire.

Does ficus cause harm?

Our ancestors believed that this flower gives rise to gossip and other unflattering conversations that could ruin the reputation of its owner. It was believed that the green “enemy” attracts envious people and people with dubious intentions into the house. The plant had a bad reputation as a “husband-killer”, so Russian women did not plant it at home. It is difficult to say where these superstitions came from, but the harm of ficus Benjamin in the old days was not questioned.

With the development of natural sciences, including botany, prejudices faded into the background, giving way to curiosity and experimentation. Ficus trees began to appear in many houses and apartments as a spectacular decoration. The green plant was loved by many, despite its unflattering reputation.

It is from this sunny side that the ficus will be able to normalize harmony in the home and absorb negative energy. The plant is well suited for people prone to hysterics and rash decisions. A flower located on the desktop will help weak-willed people achieve their goals.

Weaving ficus Benjamin can be compared to therapeutic relaxation. This leisurely activity is often recommended for people with nervous system diseases. An aesthetically attractive tree will not only decorate a room, but will also improve the energy in the house.
