Feng Shui Wind Chimes – Using Sound to Cure Your Home
Posted By Houston Decorator on March 18, 2010
Feng shui wind chimes are one of the most popular remedies that can be used throughout the home. They can be placed either inside or outside of the home. They use sound to alter the ‘qi’ or energy of a given space. It can either protect an area from ‘qi’ that moves too fast or help to activate the ‘qi’ if it is stagnant. Therefore different areas of the home may need the chimes for different purposes.
There are so many different types of wind chimes, made out of a number of different materials. The material has special significance in feng shui, they are predominantly used to represent the different elements. There are five elements in feng shui and aside from the element fire, all of the other four elements can be represented by wind chimes. This is important, because it can be associated with a specific element in an area of a room or an entire home where that element is lacking. By adding that element, it creates balance among all the elements in that space. Glass chimes are used to symbolize the water element. Bamboo and wood chimes are used to symbolize the wood element. Ceramic chimes are used to symbolize the earth element. Metal is the most commonly represented element, with chimes made out of brass, steel, aluminum, iron, bronze and copper.
There is another aspect of feng shui wind chimes that can be significant. Not all of them come with the same number of rods. The number of rods can have special meaning. The most common number is five, it is usually preferred, because each rod represents one of the five elements. This type is used primarily to help harmonize an area by showing the balance of the elements. Its other main use is for protection, to ward off bad luck. Six or eight rods are also available, but the meaning is quite different. They are primarily used to attract or enhance good luck.
There are several locations where these special feng shui tools can be placed. Indoor wind chimes are generally smaller in size and metal is the material that is most often used. Meanwhile garden wind chimes are usually bigger in size and bamboo is the preferred material here. There are a couple of areas that are not appropriate for this type of tool, sound waves may prove to be too distracting. These include areas where you normally eat, sleep, sit and work. The key here is to first determine specific locations that needs balancing, protecting or enhancing. Eliminate areas that will actually negatively affect you and then choose the right material and number of rods for your intended purpose.
Feng shui wind chimes uses sound to fight bad luck and attract good luck. They are among the most popular feng shui remedies and can be used almost anywhere with the help of a map bagua.
