Wind Chimes and Feng Shui

Wind chimes and bells are a great way to live in harmony with nature. Their tranquil melodies add to the quality of outdoor living.

Wind chimes are like musical instruments powered by nature’s breezes. They can connect us with our environment and counteract the negativity of unnatural sounds like street traffic or airplanes flying overhead.

Throughout history people in different cultures such as Ancient Rome, India, China and Japan have used wind chimes to bring good luck and ward off evil spirits. The first evidence of wind chimes was found at an archeological site in South Asia and it was dated back to 3000 B.C.

Wind chimes come in many unique designs and tones to suit your tastes. There are dinner bells, meditation gongs, or garden wind chimes. They can be made of materials such as aluminum, shell, bamboo, stone, copper, porcelain, glass or pewter.

Wind chimes are also a popular tool used in feng shui. Feng shui is a way in which we can organize our living and work space so that we fit in it harmoniously. “Wind and water” is the literal translation of the words feng shui.

Feng shui says you should place wind chimes in your garden, on your patio, or from your balcony to cure negative energies. It says that the North Western part of an area is the best place to hang them. You should also consider the material they were made from, the number of rods or bells, and the symbols present in the design before you hang them.
