If you ever visit china or Asia on a vacation, you will see several homes have wind chimes hanging out on the porch or a window or above the doorway. Wind chimes are believed to have been brought to the US through Feng Shui. Wind chimes were always used as another beautiful piece of artifact at home before Feng Shui as well. Here we will look into some details.



Other questions to be answered are: how do you use feng shui wind chimes in the home? Where should they be placed? Where should they not be placed in the interests of practicing sound feng shui?

The Five Elements and Wind Chimes

You are probably already familiar with the five elements, namely, wood, water, fire, earth and metal, that are the embodiment of feng shui. These elements are meant to balance one another and keep any one from overpowering a room or any particular area. Feng shui wind chimes are usually used as such an element in order to introduce either metal or wood to a room or to a home.

If your room signifies the earth element, then you can use metal wind chimes to balance it. A room in colors of brown or tan would mean earth element and displaying a wind chime in metal outside the room in a manner that it is visible from within the room balances the energies in that room.

This is especially true if you purchase feng shui wind chimes that have brightly colored artwork on them, such as beautiful yellow and orange flowers. Those bright colors will offset the warm earth tones of your living room and keep it from feeling overpowering.

A white kitchen has a bright, clean look, but can also feel a bit clinical. You can balance out this feeling (which is caused by an overabundance of the water element) with the warmth of the wood element. Wooden feng shui wind chimes can be introduced by putting them right outside of the kitchen. Again, this can be outside from a window or door off of the kitchen. The warmth of the wood will balance out the cold feeling of a white kitchen.

Bad Feng Shui Locations For Wind Chimes

We always speak of including things according to Feng shui into your home and lives; exclusion according to the science is equally important. Wind chimes should not be used in a chaotic and busy house. Wind chimes are not a welcome addition to noisy houses. They should also be omitted if neighbors arent happy with them or your apartment rules dont allow them.

Getting into trouble over wind chimes is not good feng shui after all. Feng shui aims to create peace and positive energy, hardly what having and angry neighbor or landlord will gain you.
