Prof. Martin Thorne, Ph.D.Snake plants, or mother-in-law's tongue, have surprisingly deep spiritual benefits related to ancient philosophies of Feng Shui. Their tall leaves, shaped like swords, permit positive chi energy to flow through your living space. The plant also serves as a protective barrier while guarding against negative energy. After putting one in my own bedroom, I subjectively feel less anxious. Additionally, they are considered a strong representation of perseverance and growth throughout life's journey.

Enhance spiritual connections through care rituals with intention. Wipe leaves while calling forth your gratitude for protection. Water plants mindfully to visualize the plants releasing negativity. Rotate your plants during the new moon to create a flow of energy that reaffirms and replenishes their renewed vigor. These routines are methods that foster a deeper connection with the plant allies. A healthy plant increases its energetic properties exponentially.
Combine your snake plants with other correlated spiritual elements. To heighten your cleansings from negative energies, you can pair them with clear quartz crystals, set up a water element, and place the water in cases near a location within the wealth corners. Additionally, use a red pot to contain energies that stimulate fire for protection. In my example of an entry arrangement, I have set up a snake plant with a small fountain nearby, allowing it to serve as an energy portal upon entering, which makes the space feel more welcoming due to its positive energy.
Notice subtle energy variations over time. You will notice improved sleep due to the placement of an amethyst in your bedroom. You will feel fewer tensions at times when you might usually be stressed. You may see greater synchronicity, positive interactions, and other little surprises. The home feels a little more settled since implementing these practices. It is nice to have a living talisman for spiritual support each day on this journey of growth.
