How to Bring Water into Your Feng Shui Home

Feng shui has been practiced for thousands of years. It is an ancient Chinese art designed to optimize the flow of energy in a home. This energy is said to improve health, bring wealth, make better relationships, and in general create a sense of peace and wellbeing. Water is one critical element in feng shui. If you practice the ancient art of feng shui, why not consider adding a water feature to your home?

There are power spots in every home. These power spots are strongly associated with your life and the activities you do each day. They depend not only on architecture, but also design and things like the arrangement of your furniture. A feng shui fountain can symbolize peace and harmony. Water and steel combined are considered to be lucky, so you may wish to buy a floor fountain with a stainless steel frame. However, if you have much steel in your home already, you may wish to purchase a different material – perhaps stone, slate, or copper – to balance out the energies that each one gives off.

While any water fountain can be used in feng shui, some fountains are designed for it and are thus particularly well-suited for feng shui. Feng shui fountains that have six rungs represent strong metal, and bring extra luck, since water and metal combined brings luck.

When you combine water with earth - which you can do with a stone or clay fountain – calmness transpires because you are simplifying the energies in your home.

There are a couple things you should avoid doing with fountains if you wish to follow the tradition of feng shui. Do not put your fountain on the southern side of your home, as this is associated with your fame, which is related to fire - and you don't want to put the fire of your fame out with water! Also do not put a water fountain in the bedroom, as this can create uneasiness and worry.

Add the element of fire to your fountain with a candle or underwater light. This will look beautiful and bring good luck.

Your fountain will help to balance the energies in your home and bring about good chi, or energy. Your fountain will not only look and sound great; in accordance with the practices of feng shui, it has the potential to bring luck, prosperity, and peace into your home. You simply can't go wrong with a water fountain. Bring the element of water into your home today.
