Feng Shui Wind Chimes

Wind chimes always look fascinating, but in Feng Shui they have a deep significance. Feng Shui wind chimes are meant to bring positive vibes in the place where they are hung. They symbolize several things in this art. Since it is the wind that makes them move and produce their characteristic sounds, they are considered to be a symbolism of dynamism and progress. It is considered that the space that has a Feng Shui wind chime in it will never stop progressing, especially if there is enough wind in the area to keep them working.

The typical ringing sound that they produce is also a symbolism of progress and harmony. Sound is considered to have curative properties in ancient Chinese science. For that reason, Feng Shui wind chimes are also accorded with healing attributes. They are an essential part of Chinese house decoration and are even used in the interior of the workplace. The sound created by them is believed to put a rest to the difficulties that arise in life or in work and keep things moving at a comfortable progressive space.

In fact, Chinese men and women are known to walk up to their wind chimes and rap at them occasionally. They believe that the sound that the wind chimes emanate when thus forcefully rapped help them gain a new spurt of vigor and energy to do their tasks. Yes, this does indicate that Feng Shui wind chimes have stimulant properties just like tea or coffee!

There are several kinds of wind chimes to choose from. The most common ones are those that can be hung, usually from a window or probably from the ceiling of a porch. The chimes are made of light materials such as wood, glass, metal, bamboo or even plastic. They are generally hollow tubes that strike each other and produce sounds due to resonating effect. The tubes are arranged circularly and in various ways to add to the beauty of the chime as well as to produce differing sound effects. Some wind chimes are made of coins which are considered to be excellent symbols for financial progress.

Today, designers are coming up with more and more innovative ideas for wind chimes. There are wind chimes attached to clocks, picture frames, calendars, etc. There are also some very beautiful wind chimes that are designed to be kept on tabletops mostly as ornamental pieces. Some wind chimes, mostly those that are influenced by Japanese culture, have bells on them. This creates a different sound effect and they even look different because Japanese Feng Shui wind chimes are sometimes heavily ornamented with colored glass beads and other paraphernalia.

It is said that it actually does not matter where you put up the wind chime; its effect will surely be felt whether you attach them in your bathroom, your kitchen or your living room. The Feng Shui wind chimes are quite easily the most popular good luck charms that are used in the Eastern as well as the Western part of the world.
