Feng Shui Fountains

Megan Heyer
Fountains are very common in Feng Shui as they help in fetching the energy of water and water is a sign of profusion and affluence.

Every individual wants to have a calm and peaceful atmosphere in home and fountains built on the wall help in creating that ambience. It also provides an eye-catching effect to the room. Many people are going for these nowadays as they are available at affordable prices.

You can get them in various artwork forms ranging from contemporary to modern designs. It is good to purchase fountains with simple designs as it would be easy to clean them. The indoor fountains are flat and are framed in both top and bottom.

The positive effects of these types of indoor waterfall can reach every corner of your home. As water flows through it, the movement creates particles called negative ions. These particles bond with impurities in the atmosphere, effectively turning your wall mounted waterfall into a giant air filter. It also increases the moisture thus creating a very healthy atmosphere in your home. A good fountain diffuses specific oils into the air which intensifies the energy benefits and helps in creating a pollution free environment.

It is not a good idea to put them in the south zone since South is associated with Reputation and Fame and its energy is Fire. So bringing the Fountain which is a Water Element and Fire element close, negative energy is created as water puts down the fire. You should never put these in the bedroom no matter what the position of the bedroom is as feng shui says that they bring anxieties and worries. The best area to place them is the living room.

The sound of running water has a timeless appeal as it provides gentle noise that clears the mind and soothes the soul. The noise produced by a water fountain has been shown to reduce the stress of day-to-day life, and has also been shown to be an effective supplemental treatment for some types of insomnia. These are made of natural materials like stone, copper, slate and river rocks. They can be used both in home and offices.

These are becoming increasingly popular and one doesn't have to be very rich to own such fountains. Water is a sign of power and wealth. So one can make things shine at home by introducing the power of water.
