Feng Shui Wind Chimes - Using Sound To Cure The Home

Feng shui wind chimes
are one of the most well known remedies which can be used through the home. They can be placed either inside or outside of that home. They use sound to change the 'qi' or energy of the given space. It can either protect an area from 'qi' that moves too fast or help to activate the 'qi' if it's stagnant. Therefore different areas of the home may need the chimes for different purposes.

There are actually so many different types of wind chimes, made out of a number of different materials. The material has special significance in feng shui, they're predominantly used to represent the different elements. You have 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 is linked to a specific element in an area of a room or the whole home where that element is lacking. By adding that element, it creates balance among all the elements of that space. Glass chimes basically symbolize the water element. Bamboo and wood chimes basically symbolize the wood element. Ceramic chimes are used to symbolize the earth element. Metal is the most commonly represented element, with chimes made from brass, steel, aluminum, iron, bronze and copper.

There's another aspect of feng shui wind chimes that can be significant. Not all of them come with the same number of rods. The quantity of rods can have special meaning. The most typical number is five, it's usually preferred, because each rod represents one of the five elements. This type is used primarily to help you harmonize an area by showing the balance of these elements. Its other main use is for protection, to keep away bad luck. Six or eight rods are also available, however the meaning is kind of different. They are primarily used to draw in or enhance good luck.

You will find several locations where these special feng shui tools can be placed. Indoor wind chimes are generally smaller in size and metal is the material which is most often used. Meanwhile garden wind chimes usually are bigger in size and bamboo is the preferred material here. You have a couple of areas that aren't appropriate for this sort of tool, sound waves may prove to be too distracting. These include areas where you normally eat, sleep, sit and work. The important thing here is to first determine specific locations that needs balancing, protecting or enhancing. Eliminate areas which may actually negatively affect you and then choose the suitable material and number of rods for the intended purpose.
