Feng Shui: Using Wind Chimes and Water Features

Water Features Improve Your Health And Bring Vitality To Your Home

The human body is essentially made up of water, and the chi of the water inside your body has a similar frequency to the chi of any water nearby, making it possible to create a powerful connection between the two.

If the chi of the water outside your body is pure and clear, while the chi of the water inside your body is weak, then the outer chi can improve the strength of your inner chi.

You can bring water features into your home by adding small indoor waterfalls, fountains, aquariums or simply a bowl of fresh water that is refilled daily. Moving water will add more yang, vibrant energy; still water will add more yin, calming energy.

To gain its beneficial effect, the water must be clean and fresh, so change it frequently.

People have traditionally gone to the sea, spas or springs to heal injuries and recover from illness. This explains the feng shui principle that the chi of fresh, clean water has a positive influence on the water chi in your body.

Create A Relaxed Environment Using Wind Chimes

The sound of a wind chime sends out ripples of energy, which help to move and spread out chi. Chimes can also disperse concentrated chi, making it more yin. You can therefore spread out the chi that is rushing through your entrance, helping to fill your whole home with new chi.



The sound of metal wind chimes radiates more metal chi; such chimes are best in the south west, north east, centre, west, north west and north areas, where metal chi is harmonious with the ambient chi. Use wooden wind chimes in the east, south east and south parts of your home, where the wood is harmonious with the wood and fire chi.

Simply hang by a door, so that the chime is hit each time the door is opened.

Wind chimes are only active in terms of feng shui when they chime, so if they do not ring because they are above a door or out of the wind, you need to ring them yourself frequently.
