Feng Shui and Water Fountains

Feng Shui: The Chinese art or practice of positioning objects, especially graves, buildings, and furniture, based on a belief in patterns of yin and yang and the flow of ch'i that have positive and negative effects.

Flowing water is an essential component to feng shui as it is one of the objects believed to have the powers of redirecting, reflecting, or shifting energy in a space.  Water Fountains help lift the ch'i with the gentle sound of flowing water. In the five creative elements theory of feng shui, it is important to have a balance of all of the elements - a water fountain can help activate the water element.

Placement of the fountain is also important, in order to receive the full benefits. Placement depends on many factors, but the intention is to have it activate the ch'i in an area that would benefit from the water element.

In addition to improving the feng shui of your home or office, a water fountain can also help improve your health by keeping dust and other bad elements out of the air we breathe.

Water can be used in many beautiful and creative ways. As with all Feng Shui remedies, you should work to create an environment that doesn't look "feng shui'd". Used correctly, water fountains can help improve the feng shui in your home or office. Just remember to keep the water fresh! Stagnant or moldy water in your fountain can adversly affect the feng shui in your home.
