The Unique Relationship Between Wind Chimes And
Feng Shui
Author: Stephen Betzen

There is a harmonious marriage shared by wind chimes and the
natural forces of nature. As air current moves against the
striker or clapper of the wind chimes, it knocks against the
tuned pipes, which in turn sends waves of a reverberating
"song," carried along by the wind. The resulting delicate
balance of peace, grace, and harmony isn't as hard to achieve
as one might think. Although there are many different schools
of thought, the basic philosophies of balance behind Feng Shui,
and recognized forces of nature, remain the same.

For centuries the Chinese have believed that there is a logical
way to organize their living and discipline their thoughts, to
better achieve harmony and live peaceably within the forces of
nature. That same attitude has become increasingly popular in
the Western culture. Feng Shui isn't as much a religion as it
is a state of mind.

Good, as well as bad, happens to everybody. But, it is the way
in which we handle negative or bad experiences that will
determine whether or not our souls are at peace and our lives
happy. We can choose to live unhappily, in discord with the
rest of the world. Or, we can seek happiness by accepting the
bad with the good, while at the same time seeking to create a
more perfect balance. What does this philosophy have to do with
wind chimes?

Irritating background noise filters into our lives daily,
causing distractions and stress that are incompatible with
harmonic living. By incorporating an atmosphere of peace and
tranquility with the use of a wind chime, we also add interest
to our home décor or garden yard décor.

The greater benefit realized, however, is the inviting sense of
calm that permeates our very being as positive energy flows.
Many people even feel a sense of awe as they listen to the
fluid music created as elements of nature connect.

Wind chimes are beneficial for covering over negative
background noises such as traffic, barking dogs, and other
unwanted sounds that filter into our living space from others
less harmonious minded. They are as eye appealing a compliment
to our landscape and home décor as they are stirring to our
souls, providing a sense of well-being.

Wind chimes also make meaningful anniversary gifts, and make
perfect gifts for Mother's Day. Why? Because a wind chime is
symbolic of peace and harmony. They are symbolic of the feng
shui attitude of compatibility: working with the forces of
nature to create a positive, tangible energy flow.

It doesn't matter if your living space can be described as
Southwest décor or a more unique home décor hard to define
using conventional home decorating terms. There are so many
sizes and styles of wind chimes, one is sure to enhance and
compliment your home or garden yard décor.

Use wind chimes to increase your privacy by blocking out
unwanted sounds, while inviting a positive atmosphere of peace
and calm; one good way to bring the benefit of feng shui in
your home.
