FENG SHUI & WIND CHIME
Feng Shui is literally related to wind and water and both these elements are the most vital of life’s energy. They symbolize the action of “movement of energy “. In Feng Shui this movement of energy is known as Chi.
The positive flow of Chi is desired for a healthy, happy and lucky life.Negative Chi flow that moves too fast, too slow or is still can be destructive.
Feng Shui provides cures to enhance such conditions to bring a more auspicious flow of energy.The wind chime is an excellent cure for negative Chi and an aesthetic way to enhance positive Chi.
Every other sound in our surrounding environment connects us.Sound encourages behavioral changes and emotions.A human can respond positively or negatively to a certain sound.
Positive sound reduces feeling of loneliness or isolation. Good sound being relaxation to mind and body, reduce sadness and anxiety, lessen stress and anger.
Wind Chimes are believed to recognize “Chi “around you and creating sounds with a positive energy flow and accelerate good Chi.
They deflect Negative Chi flow by eliminating harsh noise or dull sounds in the environment .Wind chimes counter balance chi in your home and in your life.
