Feng Shui Benefits of Water Fountains
Feng Shui was developed by the Chinese to enhance the energy patterns of their indoors in an aesthetic fashion. 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 fortune.
Water fountains have following feng shui applications:
1. Water fountains are operated applying electrical pumps. The same kind of electrical pumps were also used by farmers in their rice farms. In olden days, an electrical pump was fairly expensive and could only be owned by wealthy farmers. Because of this, there has been an unconscious connection between riches and electric pumps. When using an electrical pump, it is believed that one is attracting the divine forces of wealth and fortune. Furthermore, electric power galvanizes water into action. The combination of water and electricity is very virile. When used carefully, these two forces, the yin and the yan, unify in water fountains as perfect feng shui elements.
2. Water fountains perpetually re-circulate the water leaving alone in fuller levels of ch’i, i.e. energy. Because of the magnified ki, individuals feel raised productiveness and creativeness.
3. Green floras like bamboo, when added to the water fountain, create lively indoor environment. The oxygen brought out from these green plants improves the indoor air quality which results in better wellness and life-quality.
4. A bamboo water fountain produces a trickling sound of water. This mild sound of dribbling water is one of the most decompressing sounds to freshen up and rejuvenate your mind from day-to-day stress.
5. Few well chosen water fountains come with high quality mountain rocks and river stones. These stones and rocks are believed to have preserved earth’s energy in them for centuries. When placed appropriately, this energy is unleashed and brings tremendous positivity to your life.
