Purchasing an Indoor Water Fountain - Feng Shui

Feng Shui (pronounced fung-shway) is an ancient Chinese practice that focuses on how arrangement affects humans spiritually, emotionally and physically. It centers on creating harmony through placing and arrange a space according to techniques that assist positive energy, or Ch’i, in flowing. Feng Shui has been a tradition followed for millennia that has just recently gained in popularity among Western cultures. Now people far and wide are utilizing the art and applying it in their own homes, offices and beyond. Feng Shui literally translates in “wind-water”, so it is no surprise that indoor fountains have become one of the staple home improvements in countless homes that aim to increase the Ch’i flow.

There are five principle elements in the Feng Shui philosophy: metal, wood, fire, wind, earth and water.

Fire: Many of our fountains come with lighting features that provide a natural, warm glow to accentuate the fountain and follow the feng shui guidelines. To further introduce the element into your home, candles or incense burning is a stylish option.

Earth: Our fountains are fashioned from materials found in nature. Further purchase of any kind of clay or ceramic objects – pots, bricks, tiles, figurines, will contribute addition positive Ch’i to a room.

Metal: Try one of our fountains that feature stainless steel or copper. More of the metal element can be introduced through wind chimes.

Wood: Any kind of wooden objects such as furniture, wood trim in your home or wood floors all complement the wood element.

Water: Flowing water, as opposed to stagnant water, increases the positive Ch’i of any room. Indoor water fountains are the absolute ideal solution for introducing this element into your feng shui decorating scheme.

Wind: This element puts the Feng in Feng Shui, literally (Feng Shui translates into “Wind-Water”). As mentioned earlier in this guide indoor water fountains, which act as active water features, have been proven to increase the level of negative ions in the air of a space. These negative ions improve the quality of the air and produce positive effects on living creatures both physically and psychologically.
