How To Use A Water Fountain As Feng Shui Element?

Feng Shui is a Chinese system of setting your indoor spaces so as to produce balanced flow of energy in your house. The literal translation of feng shui is "wind & water". Traditional cultures of Asia had a lot of reverence for the Gods of Wind and Water. Pleasing the Deities of Wind and Water was one of their important rituals and was believed to bring good destiny.

Benefits of water fountains in feng shui are as follows:

1. Water fountains are operated applying electrical pumps. The same type of electrical pumps were also used by farmers in their rice farms. In olden days, an electrical pump was fairly pricy and could only be owned by wealthy farmers. Because of this, there has been an unconscious connection between riches and electric pumps. When utilizing an electrical pump, it is conceived that one is attracting the divine forces of wealth and fortune. In addition, the power of electricity is startling. This power is multiplied in effect when combined with water. If electrical energy is yan, the water is yin. The combination of these two forces make water fountain a peculiar feng shui element.

2. There is a direct correlation between creativeness and free-flow of water. It is believed that free flow of water increases productivity and enhances creativeness. Water fountains provide perfect medium for the free movement of water and thereby directly increase the creative thinking and productiveness.

3. Adding live floras (e.g. green bamboo) to water fountains bring vibrancy and spirit to indoors. These green floras produce oxygen that distills the indoor air quality. Higher quality of indoor air directly results in improved health.

4. A bamboo water fountain makes a trickling sound of water. This mild sound of dribbling water is one of the most unwinding sounds to freshen up and restore your mind from day-to-day tension.

5. The mountains rocks and river stones that are placed in water fountains as ornamental elements bring with them the centuries old khi with them. This vigour is believed to be the fortunate energy of mother earth. This auspicious energy results in an instant feeling of relaxation and being centered.
