If you ever visit china or Asia on a vacation, you will see several homes have wind chimes hanging out on the porch or a window or above the doorway. Wind chimes are believed to have been brought to the US through Feng Shui. Wind chimes were always used as another beautiful piece of artifact at home before Feng Shui as well. Here we will look into some details.
Other questions to be answered are: how do you use feng shui wind chimes in the home? Where should they be placed? Where should they not be placed in the interests of practicing sound feng shui?
Remembering the Five Elements of Feng Shui
Surely you are already aware of the five elements spoken if in the practice of feng shui: metal, wood, water fire and earth. According to the ideas of feng shui, these elements must be kept in balance, with no one element being allowed to dominate a space. Feng shui wind chimes are often a part of this balance, bringing the elements of wood and/or metal into a room.
If your room signifies the earth element, then you can use metal wind chimes to balance it. A room in colors of brown or tan would mean earth element and displaying a wind chime in metal outside the room in a manner that it is visible from within the room balances the energies in that room.
If you have feng shui wind chimes in vibrant colors like oranges and yellows, they will work well to offset the muted colors of the earth tones in your den and provide balance to the room.
A white kitchen has a bright, clean look, but can also feel a bit clinical. You can balance out this feeling (which is caused by an overabundance of the water element) with the warmth of the wood element. Wooden feng shui wind chimes can be introduced by putting them right outside of the kitchen. Again, this can be outside from a window or door off of the kitchen. The warmth of the wood will balance out the cold feeling of a white kitchen.
Where NOT to Use Wind Chimes for Feng Shui
As with everything else about feng shui, its not just a matter of what you use, but sometimes its just as important to leave things out. If your home is busy, noisy, and generally chaotic, then feng shui wind chimes may not be a welcome addition. Also, if you have neighbors that are in close proximity or live in an apartment that doesnt allow these types of things, then you should also omit them.
Getting into trouble over wind chimes is not good feng shui after all. Feng shui aims to create peace and positive energy, hardly what having and angry neighbor or landlord will gain you.
