Feng Shui Fountains: The Power of Water

Fountains are the most common object used by Feng Shui practitioners to improve and enhance the water element in their living or working space. Water is synonymous with harmony and prosperity. Therefore Feng Shui Fountains are a necessary item in your place. People who cherish a calm and relaxing environment should definitely have a fountain to help create and maintain this atmosphere. Moreover, it is a very fancy and classy addition to the room and can become the focal point of every space, attracting attention.

Feng Shui fountains can be found at very reasonable prices and in several different designs and shapes. There are classic and modern designs and styles, representing all the new and old styles thus meeting all preferences and tastes. They can be placed both indoors and outdoors and can be chosen and placed in such a way as to blend with the existing décor. Feng Shui principles suggest that the indoor fountains are a great source of calmness and serenity. Fountains can create a simple but effective waterfall effect. The sound of water flowing and falling creates a very positive vibration. These vibrations are known to create ions that eliminate the clutter that exists in the atmosphere. Fountains can become something like a natural air filter, increasing the levels of moisture in the room.

Fountains should not be places in the southern sector of the room, because fire resides there. Fire and water are opposite elements, therefore you will create additional negative energy. Water and fountains should be placed in the North and most preferably in a living space, such as the living room. It is recommended to avoid placing them in bedrooms because, according to the Feng Shui principles, water can bring anxiety when placed in the bedroom.

The sound of splashing or running water is the sound that can clear the mind and sooth the spirit. It is supposed to be the ideal sound and ambience for people who deal with increased amounts of stress in their life. Fountains are made of different materials, such as copper or stones and they can be found in retail shops. Due to the diversity and significance of their role, the Feng Shui fountains are becoming increasingly popular among people today, mostly in the West.

Having a source of fresh water in the house, or outside in the yard or patio, is considered to bring high levels of relaxation, spiritual and mental balance and prosperity. Fountains are also associated with issues such as fertility and children, and can be combined with some of the most known Feng Shui items, such as crystals and stones. People, who want to maximize the effect of water, should always check what fountains can be associated with and what can complement water in the most successful way.
